This is a nice calm place to escape to reconnect with nature and a slower pace of living. There are lots of nature trails to hike. Aveiro and Porto are an hour away, but you have some very unique tourism opportunities about 10 minutes away in S. João da Madeira with their industry tourism and hat and shoe museum!

Conforto e beleza am Aldeia Rural.
Uma casa rural e típica, renovada com todas as condições de conforto e bem estar. Excelente apoio dos responsáveis, sempres dispostos a ajudar no que for necessário.
A aldeia tem várias casas renovadas e vale a pena a visita.
Vários trajectos e passeios pelas redondezas.
Parabéns por estas iniciativas.
Tranquilidad pura y dura. Todo muy bien si buscas escapar del ruido. Fuimos con un bebé y el único pero por decir algo es la cantidad de cuestas y escaleras de piedras que hay por el peligro para un bebé. Al final teniendo cuidado todo muy bien
Our accommodation was in a stone cottage in a tiny hamlet. It was serene and peaceful, the only thing we could hear was bird song. The charming Ama let us in and did not bother us again, there was phone numbers should we need anything. There are scenic forest walks with wonderful views. We would highly recommend staying here for a few relaxing days.

Rural charm in a historic stone building
This lodging (Casa Custodio) is pleasant, clean, and well-tended, and very charming. Location is very rural, at the end of winding, narrow and steep roads, and located in an old abandoned village of stone buildings that was rebuilt by the government for rural tourism and historic preservation, and now is run as lodgings for rent. It has a kitchen with well-equipped utensils and appliances,which was stocked with breakfast food and coffee for our first breakfast. You can drive to the nearby town of Cambra for food, cafes, etc. Well-marked and interesting hiking trails are abundant nearby, starting from the stone village itself. If you want very rural, bordering on wilderness hills, this is it.
Had such a wonderful stay at Traços D'Outrora. Isabell made us feel so welcome! All the little details of the place is so well taken care of. There was a wood stove which was amazing in keeping us cozy and warm during those cold rainy days. The fridge was well stocked and Isabell even left us a bottle of beautiful local wine to try! The location is perfect for exploring the hills nearby. It's close to local grocery stores and easy day trip to Aveiro.
El paraje es mágico, desde que llegas tienes la sensación de haberte transportado a otra época, el paisaje no puede ser más bonito y el lugar no puede estar más cuidado.
Para los amantes de la naturaleza es un sitio ideal para disfrutar de ella, o para los amantes de la ciudad a pocos minutos está Oporto o si te gustan los lugares singulares o con playa cerca también está Aveiro.
Nosotros estuvimos en ambos sitios y otros muchos turísticos que dejamos por el camino con el pretexto de volver otra vez por la zona.
Achamos o local aconchegante com som de pássaros, com aquecedores do quarto e banheiro e lareira na sala. Achamos falta apenas de um microondas. Recomendo
A todos los amantes del campo y la montaña que desean tranquilidad recomiendo esta casa rural muy cerca de Vale de Cambra. Excelente atención. Adicional a la casa, te dan la posibilidad de pedir comida casera a domicilio a un precio excepcional para probar los platos tipicos de la zona todo buenísimo.
We wanted to experience the country in Portugal and this was perfect being a historical 2 level stone cottage. We spent 3 nights and enjoyed it tremendously. Very clean with a wood stove where we built a fire for heat. But also a modern stove/fridge/television with cable and wifi available and a comfy bed. A short walk up the hill there was an overview with a good view of the surrounding hills - and was only about an hour outside of Porto so we were able to take some day trips. And where it was a wee bit tricky to find (you'll need a car to get to it), Joao the son of the owner was super helpful in getting us GPS coordinates to make sure we found it ok - even met us at the location to give us keys and make sure all was good. He also texted us to make sure all was fine after we had settled in.
If you're looking for a hotel with all the fancy stuff - this is not for you. But if you're adventurous and want to see the country and hills - we would definitely go back.
