Casa do Forno is a particularly charming and spacious holiday home, featuring a private garden surrounded by fruit trees and olive trees, with beautiful views over the valley.
Facing due south, the garden enjoys sunshine for much of the day. It is the perfect place to dine outdoors, soak up the sun or simply relax. The garden has its own patio, dining area and barbecue.

The house
Casa do Forno has two bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom with shower and WC:
• The first bedroom, located next to the living room, has two single beds.
• The second bedroom, accessible through the garden has a double bed.
The bedrooms have air conditioning.

Casa do Forno can accommodate up to 4 guests.
The spacious and comfortable living room is equipped with a TV and a video player.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, cooker and refrigerator, as well as a dining table for four. You will also find the original traditional bread oven, once used for baking bread, which is a particularly charming feature of the house.

Traditional charm and modern comfort
Spacious, warm and comfortable, the house has been renovated using quality materials to provide all modern comforts while preserving its original character and atmosphere.

The décor harmoniously combines contemporary elements with traditional Portuguese style. The original thick granite walls help maintain a pleasant temperature inside the house throughout the year, even on the hottest summer days.

A house steeped in history
Originally, Casa do Forno was used for storing and preparing food – bread, honey, cured meats, etc. – and also served as shelter for small farm animals.
Today, this former farm outbuilding has been transformed into a comfortable and charming holiday home, while retaining traces of its history and traditional use.

The house is strictly non-smoking.
