The Area: The property is situated midway between the market towns of Penela and Miranda do Corvo and 25 minutes from the University City and former capital of Portugal, Coimbra. PENELA: This sleepy medieval town with its 11th century castle is located approx. 10 mins from the property. The Castle of Penela is a Listed Monument and its construction started in the 11th century, although what you can see of the Castle these days only goes back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Inside is the Church of St Michael, which was originally built in the 12th century. Penela has all amenities including banks, supermarket, library, health centre, indoor swimming pool, restaurants/cafés and a farmers market selling local produce on Thursdays. MIRANDA DO CORVO literally means View over the Corvo River. Framed by densely wooded mountains, the small town of Miranda do Corvo has a remote history, although its ancient castle, conquered by the Moors in 1116, has almost completely disappeared and only the bell tower and cistern still remain. The town has a beautiful church situated on a hill overlooking the area. A large Rio de Janeiro-type statue of Jesus also looks out over the town. There is a weekly market selling fresh local produce on Wednesdays. The traditional speciality of Miranda do Corvo is chanfana (a sort of goat stew), which is thought to have been created at the monastery of Semide. Local handicrafts include works in lace, a tradition also born at the monastery, and the Almalaguês weaving, woven and embroidered cotton fabric which is used to make tapestries and bedspreads.

Also included is breakfast of your choice, cooked or continental.
