Local Beauty
Many beautiful places in 20 minutes drive (most closer), from the old town of Coimbra, Roman ruins at Conimbriga, the shale villages of Serra da Lousa, many river beaches...
We are a small family of three and we found this traditional village house in Central Portugal in 2019. We loved it, calling it 'The Secret Garden House' so we knew the perfect name for our accommodation. We love spending our time here gardening, restoring the house and annexes, making jams and preserves and exploring the countryside.
We speak English, a little French and our Portuguese is improving! We believe in 'learning by doing' and we have links to local home educating and alternative lifestyle groups that we can share with you during your stay. Find out more here
