A wonderful casket at a lovely place

It´s quite simple: perfect house & perfect host [Thanks Sofia!] at a perfect place. If you are looking for a calm, small paradise go there. It´s a really romantic place and perfect to enjoy nature. Aguincho is a little village in a wonderful valley with a river for bathing. Directly in front of Aguincho there´s a very good trail for doing some walks - serious hiking needs some travelling by car or you are tough enough to do the Torre from here. Quite close to Aguincho at Barriosa you´ll find the wonderful restaurant Guarda Rios - absolute recommendation! Three hints for visitors: 1) Enter an Intermarche before you travel there and buy your stuff - it´s quite a trip. 2) Don´t travel here with a huge car, the roads are small indeed. 3) Don´t underestimate travelling to Torre by car - but it´s really worth a look. We will come back!

Peaceful village; beautiful small river.

The value is really great and it was the best equipped, most private, and cleanest place I've ever stayed at. The hosts were remarkably warm, helpful, and friendly, and the house was charming with nice outdoor options--garden, patio/balcony, bbq, and just down the road a beautiful little river with places to swim with no one around. This is a perfect refuge, great place to restore yourself.

Férias de verão na serra

Casa com tudo para passar uns dias de descanso, no meio da Serra. Aldeia sem carros no seu interior, ficam à entrada da mesma. Acesso ao rio com uma pequena lagoa ao lado da aldeia para nos podermos refrescar.

Rio e Serra

Rio Alvoco com água transparente e quente, com as suas “piscinas” grandes e “privadas”. Passamos horas dentro água. A Serra verde, também foi uma novidade, estávamos a áspera de ver muitas pedras e ficamos a conhecer uma nova serra. Muito verde, muita água, muitas aldeias pequenas perdidas no meio dos vales com casas muito próprias e pessoas acolhedoras. Muito bom para descansar e repor energias (não temos restaurantes, cafés, supermercados e lojas para “passar o tempo”).

Uma casa espetacular com uns anfitriões fantástico.

Gostámos muito da casa. Acolhedora com todas as condições e equipamentos. No entanto o local é de difícil acesso. A praia fluvial fica apenas a 500m mas tem acesso difícil com uma zona íngreme o que dificultando o acesso para quem tem crianças ou pessoas de idade. A zona envolvente é linda mas a aldeia não tem nada e para nos deslocarmos temos sempre de recorrer ao veículo automóvel, sendo a estrada bastante estreita e com muitas curvas até às aldeia vizinha. Para quem quer descansar e ficar longe de tudo e todos é sem dúvida o local ideal.

Wonderful!!,,

Sophia met us upon our arrival and although we had never met her she made our drive to our rental worth the anxiety we experienced driving the narrow roads and hairpin turns. She had a fire going for us and the heat turned up due to the cold weather Portugal was experiencing during our trip. Our rental was spotlessly clean with lots of clean towels and appliances that all worked. She had information on local trails and even drove us to the next village to help us get some groceries. If you enjoy nature and breath taking views at every turn than this is this place for you. All this said though you may wish to take most if not all of your food and beverages with you as there is not much close by to buy this sort of stuff. Our only regret was having to leave this area.

Relaxing experience in the heart of rural Portugal

We chose the house for its closeness to the heart of Serra da Estrela, for the quiet of its surroundings, and for its charm judging from the photos: the house is just like on the pictures online. It is cool Inside, especially the downstairs rooms, and with the altitude it is cool at night in the area. The house has 3 outsides spaces, so you can be in the shade or in the sun as you choose at every hour of the day. The surroundings are truly beautiful: the mountain-sides felt a bit daunting at first, but we got to really enjoy the sight of the nearby villages (Vasco Esteves, Alvoco da Serra, Loriga...). Closeby activities included walking in the mountains, relaxing at the house in the sunshade, and swimming in the amazing brooke at the foot of the village!! A day-trip to Coimbra or Piódão is easy. The house is very conveniently equipped, there are no shops in Aguincho itself, but there are smaller and larger shops as well as great restaurants in nearby villages, and a baker stops by everyday in Aguincho. The hosts were very helpful and kind, and the house was spotless clean.

Friendly and quiet accommodation

We enjoyed the stay in the charming and very quiet Casa Calvao very much. Everything in the house is of the best quality and everything necessary is available. In this valley there are infinitely many wonderful walks and also bathing in the river is announced. We met the nicest people in Aguincho and the surrounding villages. Many Thanks! Many greetings to our friends in the LAF bar in Fradigas.

Great deal, nice place.

This little house is located in a nearly depopulated village, The surroundings are peaceful, the house is charming and provides nearly everything. It is wonderfully free of knick knacks, everything is there including a dishwasher, a washing machine is nearby. The mattresses are a bit hard (as they are everywhere in Portugal) and the shower is tiny - you can't bend over, if you drop something you need to get out of the stall to pick it up. As everywhere in Portugal, there is a bidet, which used to be a nice fixture before people had showers. The woodburning stove is great, but we would have liked a bit more comfortable seating around it - another small couch. The outdoor seating areas are very nice, enhanced by several very friendly visiting cats. Very comfortable outdoor chairs are provided. Linens, cutlery and dishes are plentiful. We would have liked more than 1 dish soap tablets :-) Overall, this place was by far the nicest and the best deal of the 4 we rented. Highly recommended.

Fantástico

A casa estava fantástica, recomendo vivamente, fica no meio de uma aldeia onde o acesso é através de curva e contra curva, mas em 25min se chega a torre. Tudo muito limpo e aconchegado. Fomos muiyo bem recebidos. Certamente iremos repetir Cumprimentos Germano Moser

Sossego

A casa é limpa, confortável e tem tudo o que é necessário para uma estadia de vários dias em "self-catering". A Aldeia é fantástica e muito sossegada. O unico problema é que a casa não é acessivel de carro (tem de se andar um pouco desde a entrada da aldeia) e está no cimo de uma escadaria o que para uma familia com uma criança pequena dificulta um pouco as coisas.
