    Amazing house in a rural village, beautifully furnished, spacious but cozy, clean, well equipped, great kitchen, nice fireplace, garden. It rained the three days we were there but the house is just the place to relax, write, read and ponder....

    Beautiful old house full of history - like stepping back hundreds of years in the past. Unusually for a property like this hardly any moisture or mold issues - brilliant!

    The house is very interesting and comfortable as well as being exceptionally furnished and beautiful. The host João and neighbour Michael treated us like family and we would absolutely love to visit again.

    Tout a déjà été tellement dit sur cette grande maison particulière, digne d'un musée. Bravo pour la propreté compte tenu de tous les bibelots, cadres etc. Pour les petits enfants et les personnes à mobilité réduite ce n'est pas une maison adéquate...

The Big House sits in the heart of the 16th century village of Vinhó in the beautiful Serra da Estrela. A fully restored rambling home of around 400 sqm full of wonderful original features and modern conveniences. *Why no reviews?* We've just finished renovating this beautiful house for Airbnb so haven't had many guests yet. Take a look at our reviews for our other two properties to get an idea of our outstanding level of service and comfort! Recently fully renovated and boasting the owner's collection of antiques and paintings throughout, this house glows with a sense of Portugal's rich history. With comfortable furnishings and bedding throughout, the home is fully heated in winter and wonderfully cool during summer, and is the perfect house for a group of friends or family to explore Portugal's largest natural park. Enter through the grand entrance on the cobbled village main street, and up the staircase where you will find the first floor lobby , the first double bedroom and new bathroom . Also on this floor the main sitting room with log burner and comfy furnishings leads through to the grand dining room and on to the country kitchen and breakfast room . All these rooms have windows and French doors to the shared courtyard and garden below . From the first floor another staircase leads to the small library on the top floor and on to two more generous bedrooms and bathrooms (one ensuite ) plus a dedicated study, with an extra bed perfect for children. You will find plenty of options in this rambling home for either gathering together as a family or group, or relaxing for some "alone time" in one of the several comfortable sitting areas found throughout the house. Guest have full and private access to all parts of the home. The huge outdoor garden area is unfenced between our two houses - but there is plenty of space separating the houses, and a very large garden!!
We are in the village if you need us, but otherwise offer you complete and uninterrupted privacy
