Peaceful and Relaxing
The hosts Mark and Lerryn are great hosts. Very attentive. Casa Lerryn is a lovely place to spend a relaxing week. The most noise we could hear are the crickets chirping in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay. The pool area is a real sun trap and a great place to get a tan. Thank you Mark and Lerryn for letting us stay in your Casa.

Perfect lie by the pool holiday.
Perfect place for a relaxed lie by the pool in beautiful surroundings and perfect peace and quiet. Hosts were lovely. Property far exceeded expectations. Pool because fairly shallow, did not need heating and so was perfect temperature.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Bry

Host profile image
In the Uk we ran music stores,selling CDs and musical instruments. In the 80s & 90s the music business was vibrant,fast moving and fun. Later in life we worked in social care.With our savings we decided to embark on a new,exciting adventure in Portugal.Lerryn and I moved to the beautiful central region of Portugal in 2015.
We began renovating an old farm ,completing Casa Lerryn in 2016.The Portuguese life is slow,friendly and embraces fresh food,excellent wine and wonderful,welcoming locals. We love the wild birds living in our valley, they have thrived since we created a perfect environment in and around our meadow.
Having so many historical places of interest, river beaches , pine covered rolling hills and affordable living offers us and our guests so much. Medieval towns and cities including Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, Aveiro, Viseu, and Castelo Branco each have their own individual characteristics. There is always something unexpected to discover. Our smaller towns cater to summer visitors using themes linked to their history and specialities. We found the Festa dos Tabuleiros in Tomar an amazing event full of colour and artistic skills. Their medieval festival showcases horsemanship, music and plain good fun ! Coimbra university gardens include ancient trees and tropical plants, originally used for medicinal science but now lovingly maintained in stunning formal gardens. Coimbras university city caters to all ages, offering trendy eateries and eclectic shops. The Jardim Do Paco Episcopal gardens in Castelo Branco with their mazes ,tiles and ancient statues guarantee great photo shots. We always enjoy our visits to Aveiro and our guests have too! The town celebrates its art deco architecture and proud history of fishing. The canal boat rides are fun, and even better, finding atmospheric fish restaurants by the waters edge. Our guests have made the worthwhile trip to the Atlantic coast on many occasions, they love surfing, quiet beaches and nature at its best.

We fell in love with the simple way of life that still exists here,locals work on their land,grow a lot of their own food and respect the beautiful land they live on.Its so peaceful here,and feels safe.
Autumn is the time we pick our grapes and olives,the oil is amazing and I make grape juice,guests enjoy both.
