Quinta Lamarinho (farmhouse)

Home description

This Quinta (farmhouse) has 5 acres of its own land, and is located on the edge of a quiet little village about 14km from the market town of Arganil. Nestled in a valley overlooking mountains in the distance, if you want a relaxing, peaceful break - look no further...

Explore the farm land around the house - there is a stream at the bottom and a natural spring pond full of wild life - great for older children to play/explore/build camps!

Near-by Go-Carting in Vila Nova de Poiares. Horse riding in Gois. The sea-side is about 80 minutes drive away, and the foot-hills of the Serra da Estrella is about the same distance in the other direction (there is even a skiing resort in the mountains during the winter months).

The Costa de Prata/Silver Coast region

Coimbra used to be Portugal's capital city, many many years ago. It now has a prestigious university and beautiful old buildings built around the river Mondego and is well worth a visit.

If you prefer shopping, there are numerous modern shopping centres (free parking) - and air-conditioning if the weather becomes too hot for you!!

Meanwhile, back in the country you are surrounded by nature. The Portuguese people are friendly and helpful, even though few of the older generation speak English. There are many tiny villages surrounding the Coimbra city, and going towards the Serra Estrella Mountains.

Arganil / Pombeiro da Beira area

The market town of Arganil has a weekly market every Thursday morning - plenty of bargains and bustle, and lots of friendly faces.

The village of Sarnadela (about 5km away) has a general store; Arganil has a supermarket, banks and general facilities.

River beaches in Gois. Many others to explore if you like driving around the countryside.

River/lake for swimming or fishing is only 2km away, near Roda.

Journey times by car: 20 minutes from Gois, 15 minutes from Arganil, 20 minutes from Vila Nova de Poiares, 45 minutes from Coimbra, 80 minutes from Figuiera da foz (sea-side).

Gois motorbike festival in August (biggest in Portugal)! Numerous other local festivals in many of the nearby villages throughout the year.
