On the old original N2, this cosy house in the village of São Domingos is 3 miles (5km) from Penedo Furado, 5 miles (8km) from the beautiful village of Sardoal and 6 miles (10km) from the Zêzere reservoir.

Here, travelers had long passed: the Bernardinos were the Blacksmiths of the land, preparing the animals for the rest of the journey, whether along the old N2, or to the lands of Zêzere.

From this house where you will feel the peace of the countryside and the history of the people, you will easily reach the fantastic places of interest around.

The space
It is a cozy little house with a living room, three bedrooms, kitchen and a bathroom. Outside, a space to stay or eat, in the shade of the pear tree next to the vegetable garden or in the hut next to the instruments of the field and the blacksmith.

Small details of the house and its utensils already feel the weight of age, but we try to keep it always functional and clean for those who pass by.

The house continues to be used by the family on vacations and weekends, and therefore contains several items and storage suitable for this type of use. The guest compartments containing the essentials are properly marked in the house itself.

We advise booking only if you are comfortable with the situation described above.

I love living the real life of the places where I go. Together with my wife Filipa, we love to share the life of where we live, so besides being part of the Warmshowers network, we rent our home whenever we go on holidays.
