The Costa de Prata/Silver Coast/Central Portugal region

In the central section of the Portuguese coastline, intense reflections on the water lend their name to this happy destination: Costa de Prata (Silver Coast).

The curative springs and the lush vegetation of secular forests have preserved all the rewards of their unspoilt nature.

The monasteries, convents, castles, churches, and museums witness the priceless historic and artistic heritage of renowned universal value.

As one of the most economically developed regions in the country, Costa de Prata is also home for famous traditional art treasures, such as its porcelain and crystal, as well as its gastronomy, strongly influenced by the sea and counterbalanced by its tasty Bairrada wines and mouth-watering sweets.

In the fishing villages or urban historic centres, the kindness of the people is but another asset to add to this bountiful area's vast list of qualities.

The Ansiao / Outeiro area

The village of Outeiro can only leave you spellbound by nature's beauty - take a journey of discovery on one of the many trails that run around the village, or why not make a picnic and take in the beauty of the sprawling vista from the historic wooden windmills - very much the landmark of the local area.

Venture into nearby Santiago da Guarda, visit it's wonderful picturesque church and spend an hour exploring it's Roman settlement with room after room of mind blowing original mosaic's. Whilst there you may meet it's curator, Claudia. She is a very good friend of ours and would be delighted to hear that you are staying at the villa - so pull up a chair and say hello! From here you might want to sample the menu @ Santiago, the village's restaurant. Boasting a modern and contemporary design, you may be surprised with the quality, taste and portions of authentic, traditional Portuguese cuisine - with service and prices to delight!

A short drive into the town of Ansiao offers you a morning to peruse the local shops offering local produce and handmade crafts, along with the Intermarche to conveniently stock up on any essentials for your stay in Portugal. In addition to this the town has an abundance of patisseries , restaurants and cafes, so you can soak up the laid back pace of life whilst interacting with it's welcoming locals. It also boasts a wonderful park along with covered indoor swimming pool.

A leisurely car journey through the never ending beauty of this under-discovered area can take you to the following additional tourist attractions:

Alcobaça- Monumental Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria, founded in 1152 (classified in UNESCO's International Heritage list). Inside: Gothic tombs of King Pedro I and Inês de Castro; cloisters; the Chapter House and immense kitchen.

Aveiro - Famous for its lagoon, this town is criss-crossed by canals where colourfully painted moliceiro boats sail.

Castelo Branco - White Castle - rises on the slope of a hill that dominates a plateau region; thus its historical function as a defensive fortress which is confirmed by the castle, from where one can view a panorama that stretches until the frontier and the slopes of Gardunha, overlooking the upper course of the river Tagus. the city´s main attraction is the extraordinary Jardim do Paço (Bishop´s Palace gardens), created in the 18th century by bishop João de Mendonça.

Coimbra - One of Europe's oldest university towns, it has kept its secular academic traditions, as seen in the black caped students, in the soulful tones of the fado and in the Burning of the Ribbons (Queima das Fitas). Overlooking the city is the University, with its famous tower and a sumptuous Baroque library. In the adjacent quarters you will find the Old Cathedral (Romanesque) and the Machado de Castro Museum, with its Roman cryptoportico. In the ancient streets, with their medieval walls, arches and stairways, are the Santa Cruz Monastery (founded in 1131), the Church of Santiago and the Monastery of Celas (13th century). On the other bank of the Mondego stands the Santa Clara-a-Nova Convent (Baroque, 17th century).

Figueira da Foz - Summer resort on the mouth of the Mondego river (long, sandy beaches and water sports facilities). Special mention to the mother-church, Casa do Paço (17th century), Municipal Museum, Santa Catarina Fortress (16th century) and Pelourinho.

Leiria - A striking royal castle hangs above the graceful town of Leiria. Other important monuments: the Cathedral (16th-17th centuries, with an archaeology museum on its premises), São Pedro Church (Romanesque), Nossa Senhora da Pena Church (Gothic), Nossa Senhora da Encarnação Sanctuary (16th century).

Nazaré - A stunning beach, typical fishermen houses and steep cliffs over a bright blue sea have made this fishing town become a popular holiday resort, mainly due to its traditional character. Fishermen can still be seen wearing checkered shirts and black trousers, and their wives seven layers of petticoats: you can watch them mending nets or drying fish on the beach.

Obidos - Resembling an open-air museum, this walled medieval town has been preserved to look like a picture-postcard, with its monuments, narrow winding streets and whitewashed houses with windows and terraces full of flowers.

Pombal - founded in the 12th century by the Knights Templar and is dominated by a stately castle which belonged to the Master of the Templars, Gualdim Pais. According to legend, the name of Pombal (dovecote) was given to the town when the king saw many pigeons on the castle´s battlements.

Getting to the villa is possible by flying into either Porto or Lisbon airport.

Flights into Porto are operated by Ryanair during Spring/Summer months only and we'd recommend the use of Sat Nav to find your way to the A1 from the airport! For car hire @ Porto we'd recommend Sado Rent, this does involve a short drive from the airport to their offices which is accommodated through themselves via an airport pick up.

The alternative, and recommended option, is to fly into Lisbon either through EasyJet in the Spring/Summer months or with TAP (the national airline) all year round, book in advance and you'll find their fares similar or cheaper to the economy carriers - the difference being a generous baggage allowance, in flight meal, and the pleasure of not being sold something every ten minutes! We recommend Economy Car Hire from Lisbon, they will meet you in the terminal and your car is waiting for you outside arrivals - you simply head out, around the roundabout and you are on the A1 - very, very simple, from here you'd just follow the Sat Nav to Outeiro!

If this is your first visit to Portugal please, please remember to collect your ticket from the A1 toll point and do not drive straight through the check points without a barrier as these are reserved for resident permit holders - if you try to leave the toll road without a ticket you will be charged the maximum toll as if you had travelled from one end of the country to the other - do not worry, it is very straight forward and you will be amazed at just how little the toll is!

If you're unsure about anything related to finding us, or would like to chat about alternatives such as ferries, please call or email and we'll be more than happy to assist you.
