House with garden and swimming pool at the Serra da Estrela's heart

We stayed for one week in Monteigas. The home is located down a long and narrow drive that is not easily accessible. The home is large and was more than sufficient for the eight in our group. The home has a great fireplace and the heating system quickly warmed up the house that was quite cold upon arrival. Plenty of firewood was provided so we burned the fire during the whole day. The worst thing about the home is the kitchen. It is very small and the design of it is crazy. We couldn't open the oven without unplugging the microwave and only one person can be in the kitchen at a time. They have a pool but as we were there for the Christmas season we never used it. I think a home in the mountains would do better with a hot tub. The only other drawback I see is at the home does not offer Internet or television. Other than that the owners and caretaker of the home were spectacular.

Amazing place! This is just perfect! If you are looking for a place to relax this is it! The house is lovely: there is a fantastic fireplace for those cold days and a swimming pool if you choose to go in the summer. If you don’t want to drive much the village has everything you need; restaurants, supermarket, small shops, cafes… but you can easily do several day journeys around Manteigas and explore the area. A place not to be missed! We were sooooooooo happy in this house! Thank you!

Beautiful place for relaxing holidays, in contact with nature. The proximity with both the mountains and the village of Manteigas is perfect. You can go walk, visit whatever you want, knowing that at the end of the day you will have a swimming pool waiting for you. Also inside the house you have plenty of room to use, perfect if you have children or pets. Will definitely come back for more. Local fantástico para umas férias para relaxar, em contacto com a natureza. A próximidade da vila e da Serra permite passeios para qualquer lado, tendo no final do dia uma piscina à espera. Aconselhado vivamente

"We couldn't have had asked for more. The house is really cosy and it feels just really good coming back to the front of the fireplace after a day out, up in the mountains. We hope to come back again soon."
