Mouriscas: Luxurious country house for all seasons!

Close to birdwatching, cycling, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Lapa River Beach or the 14-minute drive to Abrantes Castle (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis and billiards, or enjoy the WiFi, stereo, and video games.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
