This is in the next village to us, there are many old manor houses like this that can be seen when walking or driving around the area.

The city of Tomar is 20min drive, and has a stunning river, the Convento do Cristo where the Knights Templars were based, and many restaurants and shops.

Visit Portugal's 3rd city of Coimbra, with the oldest university in Portugal, listen to fado in one of the small bars or take a drink by the river Mondego. Or visit Coinimbriga, Portugal's biggest Roman excavation site, with fabulous mosaics.

Take a day trip to Lisbon, there is so much to do: Sightseeing, Oceanarium, Parks, Zoo, Shopping Centres, Old Town restaurants, fabulous buildings, Belem Tower and so much more.

The dammed river of the Zezere, forms a lake of 40kms long, which is 20minutes drive from us. It has many river beaches, and stunning waterside walks
