The Village

Lamas

The village is wonderful all year but highlights are two big village festivals; one in mid-August and the other to celebrate wine harvest Vindimas usually on 2nd week in September.  You can also visit on the second Sunday after Easter to see the 1km long flower carpet through the village; well worth a visit!.

Nature

The Secret Garden

Guests have shared access to our family garden, which is wild and in constant change. We love the many wild creatures we see here, including bats, woodpeckers, fireflies, eagles and the javali (wild boar) – who have been responsible for ploughing up the garden!  We are restoring it to its former glory and we invite you to share it.

Explore

Location

Surrounding Lamas are many walks, forests, caves, castles, rivers, river-beaches and of course the picturesque city of Coimbra.

Coimbra University, home to bats who keep the bookworms at bay (20 min), or the Medieval Fayre at Penela castle in mid-May (10min), a feast for the eyes, ears and the stomach!

Flavours

Fresh Produce

Enjoy this wine-producing region, local cheeses, 'real' veggies from the neighbours, delicious honey, and more!  There is a great village cafe, bakery and now even a shop just 3 mins walk from our door.  Savour fresh bread from the local baker or there might even be a slice of cake from Mrs. Badger's Kitchen! Just ask us for more details.
