The Costa de Prata/Silver Coast/Central Portugal region

Stretching from Lisbon to Fiqueira da Foz, Portugal’s Costa de Prata (Silver Coast) is a gem of largely undiscovered beauty and gets its name from the effect of the sun on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike its more famous and populous cousin in the south of the country here you can discover pretty villages and a real Portuguese way-of-life amongst stunning coastal scenery fringed with the best beaches in Europe. Because much of this area of Portugal remains undiscovered by the mass tourism market you can guarantee a beach to yourself even in the height of the season if you are prepared to drive and walk a little way.

The Coimbra / Vila Nova de Poiares area

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 crypto portico. 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).

Vila Nova de Poiares is a small market town which has all the shops and amenities that you will require during your stay. River beaches are close by enabling canoeing , fishing and swimming .

“a little piece of paradise” Wow what a gem of a find Pete and Jo are excellent hosts the flat is very well equipped and very comfortable and modern.The courtyard is excellent for relaxing and we were made to feel very welcome.Now as for the swimming pool it was out of this world. A car is required to get about as there are so many places to see. Nearest town is Vila Nova Do Poiares where there are the usual town facilities and some excellent restaurants. All in all an ideal place to relax and explore.

“Great stay - great accommodation” We stayed with Peter and Jo when we first moved to Portugal. I am so pleased we did. They welcomed us into their home and made our stay so comfortable. They were very helpful and gave us lots of useful information and advice. The accommodation was great very clean and had everything we required. It was so good, after a busy day's house hunting, to go back to their place put our feet up and watch TV in our own lounge. I would seriously recommend this let to anyone whether on holiday or house hunting like we were.

“Quiet and Relaxing Holiday” This is a very nice litle self contained apartment, small but comfortable and clean and it was every well equipped. It's in an area of small villages surrounded by Pine and Eucalyptus forests. The area is very pretty and quiet and there are a lot of places to visit but you will need a car. We had a really good relaxing holiday here, Pete and Jo were really friendly and helpful, especially with their directions to places and Pete even gave us a lift to and from a local restaurant on our first night. The only thing I would say is that we felt the details are a little misleading, in that we thought the courtyard shown in the photos was for our own use but in fact it is Pete and Jo's outdoor lounge, so we felt, rightly or wrongly, a little awkward at first, because you have to go through there to reach the pool and we didn't want to keep disturbing them going back and forth with drinks, etc. However this didn't prove to be a problem.
