This peaceful 1900 s family holiday chalet was entirely renovated by it present owners. It is an absolute paradise for people looking for a quiet and restful holiday. In Tomar the Templar Castle and the Convent of the Knights of Christ should not be missed (a Unesco World Heritage Site), and every 4 years there is the magnificent Festa dos Tabuleiros . Fatima is well worth a visit as is the lovely old village of Dornes. The beautiful Castleo do Bode Dam, with river beaches (Castanheira etc) is nearby and perfectly safe for a swim or watersports. Boat trips can also be arranged. Although the villa has two floors, guests only use the ground floor (first floor is left empty). The house is incredibly light and pleasant. The comfortable sitting room has a fireplace, very welcoming during the cool nights and through French doors you step out into the well-kept garden. Through an archway there is the dining room, again a very pleasant and light room. The four bedrooms are charming, some of them with antique Portuguese iron beds, the bedspreads made of traditional Portuguese fabrics. In the lovely garden, with views over the gentle hills there is an area for al-fresco meals and guests with small children will be pleased to know that the pool is fenced-in, as well as the garden. Always a treat for the younger guests are the slide and swings at the back of the house! Private swimming pool (9 x 4.5m, depth 1.2 - 2m) available all year..
