Located in the midst of
breathtaking nature, at the foot of the Serra da Estrela, the upper region
of Portugal, the Quinta da Pedra Alta is an ideal starting point for a
number of activities.
The middle region of Portugal is
regarded to be one of the most beautiful regions for walking-tours. The
landscape is adventurous and authentic. The summits of the Serra reach to
almost 2000 meters. The slopes will offer you a variety of ruggid nature,
green valleys and authentic agriculture. If you are interested in
cultural activities the alleys and little streets of the ancient towns of
the Beira Interior, often leading to an old castle, will offer you
everything you desire.
Apart from walking-tours, tours on
horseback along rivers and through valleys, and canoeing on the beautiful
Mondego river are exciting possibilities, and for the real daredevils
amongst you mountaineering or delta flying! Apart from all this the area
is very well suited for motor-cycling.
As you can see, there is enough to
do for everybody. If you’re in for a tranquil intermezzo you can visit
Coimbra, one of the oldest and most beautiful university cities of Europe,
at less then an hour from the Quinta. Take a walk through it’s narrow
alleys, visit a Tascas (a sort of Portuguese pub), listen to the famous
Fado of Coimbra or the serenades given by the local students. Enjoy the
ancient architecture and mingle amongst the Portuguese! 
If you are longing for the
southern sun, with the sound of the Atlantic at the background, the
bathing resorts of the Beira, Figueira da Foz and Aveiro, will offer you
everything you are looking for.
The Quinta da Pedra Alta is a farm
of over 200 years old, and recently has been completely renovated. It’s
mixture of authentic details and modern comfort make it a warm and unique
place to be. By using natural materials like wood and stone, and by using
natural colours, the Quinta is completely in harmony with it’s
surroundings.

The Quinta is divided between a
main house and a side house, both interconnected however by a sunny
terrace. The main house has five spacious and well lit rooms, two of which
have their own balcony. For it’s two bathrooms we have chosen for a
combination of authentic details, combined with modern equipment. The
spacious and cozy kitchen will give you the opportunity to prepare your
own meals, which you can enjoy at the terrace of the living room. Later in
the evening, when it’s getting a bit chilly, you can continue in this
living room which has a fireplace.
The side house consists of two
bedrooms, each with it’s own bathroom. The cosy living with adjoining
kitchen is the finishing touch.
If you’re in for a short walk, the
vineyards and olive yards, surrounded by pine forest, provide ample
opportunity.
To enjoy the peace and quiet with
your family, or to have great fun with friends: we have the perfect place
for you! Pictures
