Feel welcome at our quinta!

We are Marcel and Ingrid and will be the new owners of this beautiful quinta from April 2024. After busy business life in the Netherlands, we want to enjoy a more relaxed existence in central Portugal. Our search for more nature, space and peace and quiet has brought us to this beautiful spot. This is where we will live our new adventure!

The beautiful views of both the mountains of Serra do Caramulo and nearby Oliveira do Hospital, the rural feel and the small scale of our accommodation make this an excellent place to enjoy. We are ready for you to have a nice and relaxing time in one of our authentic holiday homes.

We would like to share this lovely place with you and would like to welcome you!

Love, Marcel and Ingrid
