Bucolic Retreat In The Countryside
Welcome to our cozy family farm, located on the outskirts of a rural village in Beira Alta.
Zen Vouga, Quinta do Fundo de Vila, set in a hectare of pure nature, in a peaceful and idyllic setting, has 3 private houses for rent to visitors. We can accommodate up to 16 people for family and friends retreats. We welcome everyone, regardless of ethnicity, color or creed. If you don't rent the whole farm, other guests can use the pool.
The space
Zen Vouga is our family farm that dates back to 1744. In keeping with our appreciation for the best of traditional Portugal, we have restored our houses with hewn granite stone, local wood, and wood-fired clay tiles, as well as paving our paths with cobblestone. Located in a region of Portugal known for its excellent gastronomy, regional wines, and the largest thermal baths in the country, Zen Vouga is a perfect place to relax and rehabilitate.
On the quinta, our guests can see the traditional winemaking facilities, an old wine press and wine cellar. We've also preserved a canastro and corn threshing floor, barbecue and wooden oven, typical of Portuguese country houses. We've added a games room and an indoor swimming pool for the entertainment of our guests.
Casa dos Padres consists of 1 bedroom with a double bed and a large double sofa bed.
For your information, we have a separate house for our own use. This fourth house is not for rent.
Casa dos Padres is a beautiful, traditional house built with local granite and wood from the region. It has modern amenities and access to the whole farm and an indoor swimming pool with a copper and zinc ionization system, and less chlorine than tap water.
The older facilities are made of local granite wood and have recently been restored. You'll enjoy the pleasant, covered swimming pool, as well as the green areas, a traditional wood-burning oven and two barbecues. A Zen place, ideal for relaxing and unwinding, away from the hustle and bustle. This is a television-free area, with little telephone coverage. There is broadband wireless internet and here you will find the ideal conditions to connect to the most fascinating and interesting of all networks, your inner network.
We have the necessary facilities for you to cook your own meals and enjoy some relaxing time in the Portuguese countryside.
Access for travelers
You can use all the common areas, with the exception of the main house and the maintenance areas. We will soon be installing an edible garden that you can also use, and we already have several aromatic herbs that you can use in your meals and to make natural tea. Access to the swimming pool can be shared if you don't rent the whole farm.
We also have a wheelchair ramp for accessibility.
Other things to bear in mind
We welcome you warmly and ask you to treat our country house with care and respect. Nature surrounds us, our views open up to bucolic vistas in rolling hills, in the valley of the River Vouga that runs through the county of Ribeiradio, 2.5 hours north of Lisbon, 1 hour southeast of Porto by car.
Guests can access all areas of our grounds. For individual rentals of the houses, we ask that you be conscientious and respectful of other guests. You can also rent all three houses, which will guarantee total privacy.
