Highlight of our trip
This has been our favourite stay in Portugal. They renovation of the water meal was really well done and kept to the tradition and a time the grounds were lovely. The log burner made it really cozy. The kitchen was well equipped and host was exceptional. We will be coming back.

Beautiful stay in remodled stone house
Our two-day stay at Carregã Water Mill was nothing short of magical. This beautifully remodeled stone house perfectly balances old-world charm with modern comfort. The owners have preserved all of the original stonework, creating an atmosphere that feels both authentic and luxurious. Every corner of the house reflects thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship — it’s a rare find that feels deeply connected to its history yet fully equipped for contemporary living.
The pool was a highlight — sizable, sparkling clean, and surrounded by lush greenery. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the area’s many treasures.
The location couldn’t be better. Just a short drive away are the Roman ruins of Conimbriga, one of Portugal’s most remarkable archaeological sites and home to the largest preserved Roman mosaics in Europe — truly breathtaking. We also loved our visit to the hilltop castle in Penela, offering panoramic views and a wonderful glimpse into the region’s medieval past.
In short, Carregã Water Mill is a gem — serene, beautifully restored, and ideally situated for exploring central Portugal’s rich history. We left refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of a return visit.

Unique and beautiful property with very welcoming and friendly host.
Very warm welcome by the manager Carla.
She was so generous, friendly and helpful- the best host you can hope for.
She had the fireplace burning upon arrival at this beautiful and unique water mill house. There is also private pool and excellent barbecue facility in the spacious garden which is very well maintained.
The whole experience was amazing and relaxing. Definitely recommend and for sure I will come back
anytime. Many thanks to Carla ❤️

La zona del jardín y piscina es espectacular, muy tranquila y privada. Amplia y con barbacoa para disfrutar de parrilladas al aire libre. Carla es una gran anfitriona, muy amable y nos obsequio con varios detalles de bienvenida que agradecimos mucho.
No hubo nada que no nos gustará, no podemos poner ninguna pega, pues todo nos resultó perfecto.
