Pombal has a prime location for visiting the whole country. Lisbon Airport is only 135 km away and Porto Airport is 175 km away. Pombal benefits from a train and bus station, which can take you to visit the whole country if you do not want to rent a car. Points of Interest in the Central Zone: Coimbra city with one of the oldest Universities in Europe dating from 1308, with a much appreciated Library. The city is crossed by the Mondego River. Just a few kilometers away, there is an ancient Roman city called Sesimbra, very well preserved. We have several mountain ranges with very interesting walking routes and varying degrees of difficulty. Among them is the Serra da Lousã with its famous stone villages, such as Piódão - Arganil. Serra de Aire and Candeeiros, which make up the Estremadura limestone massif. There are several caves, such as the Mira de Aire and Moeda caves.

For those who like kayaking and canoeing there is the Mondego river and its mouth (Gala), the Cabril Dam with its reservoir, the result of one of the largest dams in the country, and also the Pedrógão Grande Nautical Club, which offers tours. by boat, canoe or kayak. The site also has a boat access ramp with capacity for about 20 boats. We have many river beaches, the nearest is 25 km Fragas de São Simão, also with several walking routes. Nazaré is a very famous beach, for its giant waves, for lovers of this sport is a place not to be missed on your trip to Portugal. The Atlantic Coast is only 25 Km, here has Figueira da Foz a long white sandy beach. Costa de Lavos A white sand beach with its traditional fishing, made between April and October, where the fish is sold on the beach, this fishing is called Arte Xávega. Osso da Baleia, is a vast sandy beach out of sight that extends in front of the National Bear Forest. Very quiet and hidden by the dunes, which separate it from the road, it is a little frequented beach that has been distinguished for its environmental quality, still has São Pedro Moel among others. For those who like to visit monuments, we have Batalha, Alcobaça, Leiria, Montemor o Velho. Obidos medieval city. If you like to visit religious sites, you have Fatima 40 km by car, but if you want to make a walking route is 30 km to the Sanctuary, for me it was a challenge. Valley Cottage will be your port.

The property was perfect for two couples traveling around Portugal. We spent four nights here, using Pombal as our home base for exploring the nearby areas. A pleasant surprise was the visit to the castle of Pombal and the beautiful church Igreja Matriz de Sao Martinho. The house was conveniently located to the town of Pombal but quiet enough to enjoy pleasant evenings and mornings on the covered patio. The kitchen was very well equipped. The main den was very well furnished and just right for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The bathrooms were nice. The whole house was very clean. We would stay here again if we return to the area.

The property is fantastic; nice, full equiped, very well maintained, clean. The garden is great for some relaxing time outside. Location is just strategically perfect for doing mulltiple visits to Porto, Lisbon, Coimbra and just 30 minutes from great beaches like Osso da Blaleira. The welcoming and level of attention of Helena is just outstanding. We´ll be back next year.

Tolles geräumiges Haus das alles hat was eine vierköpfige Familie braucht um eine schöne Zeit, in einem schönen Land, zu verbringen. Es wirkt auf den Bildern größer als es ist aber Platzprobleme gab es nie, im Gegenteil den Raum mit Esstich hatten wir nicht genutzt. Der Zentrale Punkt war ein großer Tisch auf der Terasse, davor ein gepflegter Rasen mit angrenzenden Garten. Alle Schlafzimmer haben eine Glastür zum Garten hin so konnte man direkt zur Terasse und musste nicht durch das Haus. Helena war eine super Gastgeberin die uns mit allem versorgte was wichtig war und hatte auch immer gute Tips um die Gegend zu erkunden.

Our trip to central Portugal with home base outside of Pombal was greatly enhanced by the opportunity to meet Helen and to rent her exceptional property. Helen's house is a jewel. This 3 bd/2 bath house is impeccably designed and furnished, situated on a hill with superb outside space, beauty, and privacy. We have stayed in VRBO homes across the world, and we were impressed and pleased to find such a perfect house with outstanding cleanliness. No dust bunnies or dirty corners marred the contemporary beauty and comfort of the home. Helen is kind, sweet, and genuine, guiding us as we needed, but maintaining our privacy at all times. For those who have never visited this part of Portugal, it is a unique historical and geographical destination. Within minutes to the spectacular Atlantic coast where fishermen still net fresh sardines during the summer, to the ring of medieval castles that defended the populace, the age of discovery still permeates the air and enriches the culture of the region. And, Helen's house is the perfect home from which to discover the beauty of the landscape, people and culture. We highly recommend her house and this destination. The only very small downside was the occasionally spotty internet service, however, we compensated by hotspotting our phones. Thank you, Helen, for your exceptional hospitality!
