About this property

Perfect for families who love nature and the countryside.

  • The Castle Guardian House is located in the historic town of Celorico de Basto, next to Arnoia Castle. It is a privileged spot for appreciating the experiences of past generations, thanks to the layout of its dwellings and the symbols of political and judicial power. From this house, situated at the foot of the castle, you can see the contours of the village and the surrounding fields, and beyond them, the lush green hills and fertile valleys that lend a unique atmosphere to this deeply rural setting. With four bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, a large living room, and a fully equipped kitchen, this house was restored with care to preserve the architectural style and traditions of bygone eras. Outside, a rustic swimming pool has been built next to the garden, which is filled with olive trees. An outdoor patio with a barbecue area completes the perfect setting to spend a few days or a holiday in utmost comfort and nostalgia in a historic area surrounded by magnificent landscapes. The perfect spot for nature lovers. Whether you’re a young person or an adult, you can explore the area around the property on foot, by bike, motorcycle, or jeep to discover scenic overlooks and landscapes of great beauty.

Holiday with friends

Wake Me Up, is this Real? Too Good to Be True!

We fell in love with "Casa Guardiao do Castelo! Amazingly beautiful place, a pool to die for, a castle in your backyard, fresh pastries from the baker man delivered daily, vinyard views, cobblestone roads and stone structures dating back to the 1300's. Josea was a wonderful host, always there when we needed him, a delightful man with a vision for this quaint little village. Our Casa was an extension of the original stonework with wooden beams, a castle wall around the pool with the most unique design imagined and designed by our host. so as to fit into the architectural history of the village. Josea explained the history of the Casa, the Village, and how his family acquired it. We emersed ourselves into the culture, visiting the castle daily, long walks and lively conversations with the locals, (lots of hand gestering, broken Portuguese and English) but always pleasant and even jokes. The village is close to many other larger cities, wineries, and day trips were easy. At the end of the day, or if you just rested a day, we reccommend gathering your food and setting up a charcuterie affair by the gorgeous pool. Get some wine from the region. Even getting to the pool was a beautiful experience. We looked forward to every day of our stay. I highly reccommend this VRBO and we definitely will be returning. I could live in this beautiful casa in this friendly peaceful little village.

Ideal para desconectar

Creemos que esta casa es ideal para desconectar unos días durante el verano y poder aprovechar la piscina y las comodidades de la casa al máximo. El alojamiento consta de 3 apartamentos equipados, uno de ellos con un salón amplio donde poder comer y pasar el tiempo en grupo, además de en la terraza con barbacoa. Está cerca de un restaurante con comida para llevar, a 1 km de cafeterías y un pequeño supermercado. El panadero para delante de la casa. Recomendable para descansar y desconectar
