Discover Tranquility in the Mountains – with Iconic Heritage Just Minutes Away

Nestled in the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park, our beautifully restored stone house offers a peaceful escape surrounded by ancient olive trees, wildflowers, and over 100 species of native plants — including rare wild orchids. Experience rural charm in our restored 200-year-old stone barn. Set on a private 8,000 m² property, this unique retreat combines traditional architecture with modern comfort — a true escape into nature.
The original irrigation tank has been converted into a natural-style swimming pool with stunning mountain views, perfect for relaxing under the sun. A traditional stone threshing floor, preserved for over two centuries, is home to six species of protected wild orchids — a rare botanical treasure.

This is a perfect central base for outdoor activities — whether you enjoy hiking, cycling, quiet reflection, or simply listening to the sounds of birds and the breeze in the trees. Step outside and find scenic trails right at your doorstep. The land boasts over 100 species of native wildflowers and plants and 200 olive trees, offering an immersive experience in one of Portugal’s richest natural ecosystems.

Ideally located, Casa da Curva is just a short drive from some of Portugal’s most iconic sites: the beaches of Nazaré, the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha, the sanctuary of Fátima, and the Templar city of Tomar.

Explore scenic hiking trails, breathe the clean mountain air, and connect with local traditions like cheese making, olive harvesting, and traditional weaving.

Although completely private and detached, the property is just a 5-minute walk from the village centre, where you’ll find supermarkets, a pharmacy, a bank, and a traditional coffee shop. You’ll have the best of both worlds: total tranquillity in nature with easy access to local amenities.
