Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Set beneath the Serra da Lousã, Quinta do Areal is an historic country house and farm set in over 12 hectares of pasture, forest and olive groves. Guests come here to relax, slow down and recharge. Come and meet some of the animals. Take a hike in the hills. Visit the local schist mountain villages.
Stay in luxury in the main house. There are 5 large, double bedrooms, each with its own, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. Beds can be made up as king size doubles or as two large singles. Guests can use the fully equipped kitchen, eat in the separate dining room or relax upstairs in the enormous lounge.
In the summer, cool off in our outside pool or wander through 12 hectares of park and sit and contemplate beneath the ancient oak trees any time of year. 
There is also the option of booking the "apartment" and "cottage" on site to increase the total accommodation available to 16 people. 
Guests have access to their own garden area but are welcome to wander around our 12 hectares of gardens and fields.
We can provide guests with information on a range of things to do, places to visit and places to eat locally.
We are set apart from any neighbours, surrounded by woodland and pastures and beneath the Serra da Lousã mountains. Yet only 3 minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from the town of Lousã, with all its amenities. 25 minutes drive from the University City of Coimbra and easy access to the airports and cities of Lisbon and Porto.
Our beautiful old stone-built manor house stays cool even through the hottest days in summer and with central heating to keep warm in winter.
