There are good restaurants in and around. This village is ideally situated to visit many interesting places within a radius of 30-40kms including Curia, Luso and Buçaco, Coimbra, Coninbriga, as well as castles in Penela and Lousã, a biological park in Miranda do Corvo and villages made of schist and clusters of windmills. It is also possible to kayak on the Mondego river, canoe down the Ceira River or spend an afternoon on riverside beaches and lagoons nearby. The nearest good beach on the Atlantic is Figueira da Foz.
You can get to Coimbra from O'Porto or Lisbon by train (a taxi to the village will cost between 25 and 30 euros during the week and 20% more evenings and weekends). Private car is recommended if you wish to do a lot of visiting - parking free on the premises. There are also local horse-driven carriages for short trips around as well bicycle rides.
The house is situated between two chapels in the centre of the village and the local church bells start chiming at 7am and finish at 9pm. You soon get used to them but they might wake you the first day and give you a chance for an early dip before you set out for the day! As for the kitchen it is being renovated and there is a temporary external summer kitchenette by the pool where guests can take their meals.
