The village of Louredo has about 20 houses. There is excellent walking and cycling around the village, and the garden around the house has plenty of fruit and olive trees for your use. A 6 minute scenic drive takes you to the beautiful thermal spa town of Luso, which has several restaurants and hotels, and the superb summer palace of the last Portuguese king. The park surrounding the Palace is a World Heritage site and offers superb walking and spectacular views. There is an interesting museum commemorating the Peninsula War and an adjacent battlefield. Coimbra, an ancient university town on the banks of the river Mondego, is 25 minutes away. The coast is about a 50 minute drive and offers miles of sandy Atlantic beaches and the charming Figueira de Foz. The nearby town of Mealhada is famous for roast suckling pig and there are many village and town festivals throughout summer. Try the free wine tastings at the many local vineyards and enjoy the lovely (and cheap) Bairrada wine.

Idyllic

Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This is a superb property in a peaceful village location which takes you back in time. The facilities are excellent. The garden fruits are a bonus.
The village is an ideal base to explore the area which has plenty of history and walks. A car is a must if visitors are to get the best of the location.
The property was easy to find - thanks to the owners instructions. Bill (owner) was also really friendly and helpful.
If you want peace and quiet go for it!
