About the Place Initially in English, this text was translated via a machine translation service and may contain inaccuracies or errors.
Our comfortable, self-contained apartment nestles close to unspoilt countryside in a small hamlet five minutes drive from the small town of Avelar and within ten minutes of the larger town of Ansiao. What was once an old traditional Portuguese village house has been renovated and extended to include all modern facilities. The ecological swimming pool with forest backdrop provides a tranquil and delightful place to stay.
The self-contained apartment is on the ground floor of the building and is accessed by its own separate entrance and leads directly to the beautiful swimming pond area. The comfortable bedroom has a king size bed, bedside tables with lights, wardrobe, chest of drawers, mirror, hairdryer and a fan. All bed linen and towels are supplied, including pool towels. The well-equipped kitchen area has an oven and 4 ring hob with extractor, microwave, kettle, toaster, Dulce Gusto coffee machine, fridge and sink. It is also has crockery, cutlery, pans and plenty of other necessary cooking equipment for you to make your own meals. There is a sofa, armchair, smart TV (with MEO Portuguese TV), a large selection of DVDs and table and chairs for eating.
Outside there is a relaxation area with sofas, an eating area and BBQ for sole use of guests. Although we have neighbours nearby, the pool area is completely private and clothing is optional when sunbathing or swimming.
The owners reside on the first floor but there is only one rental apartment so no other guests stay at the property at the same time. The pool and gardens are for use by the guests, however the owners will occasionally be seen. The owners do not use the pool when guests are using it and will give guests as much privacy as possible.
I like to make sure that guests are aware that our pool is totally natural with no chemicals added and it's not a traditional blue box! We do have some wildlife in and around the pool including frogs, tadpoles, newts, toads and dragonflies but they stay out of the swimming part amongst the plants most of the time and are of course not at all dangerous!
We are only a five minute drive, or a 15 minute walk, from the centre of Avelar, which although not a large town, has well stocked supermarkets, a greengrocer, a wonderful 'cake shop' or pastaleria, hairdresser, beautician, hospital, dentist and other small shops and businesses. Despite our closeness to the town, we are situated within a small community of just a few houses, in a quiet, no-through lane overlooking forest. Larger supermarkets can be found in Ansiao, Pombal and Coimbra.
