We are a small family looking to establish roots in our beloved Portugal, after living abroad for a few years.
A little bit of our history:
Rodney was born in Australia, where his parents moved to in late 70s. Silvia was born and raised in
Portugal, near Lisbon. Rodney was always passionate about Portugal until one day he decided to come and
try it out. That when our joint story began. We decided to move to Australia for Silvia to have a bit of a
taste of the country down under. There we had some of the best adventures of our lives.
We love to camp, bushwalk, hike and go for a dip in the river and we always imagined our lives to be spent close to nature. In this beautiful little village, surrounded by all the things we love we found our little piece of paradise and would love to share it with anyone who wants to spend some time in nature.
Casa Arvora is located in Ribeiro do Conde, a small village surrounded by green hills, fields, forest, olive groves and vineyards. The Ceira River, with its clear and transparent waters, flows along the grounds of Casa Arvora and is full of places where guests can swim, fish or simply relax to the sound of the running water. They can also set off on the adventure and choose one of the many hikes available, whose maps are available in each room. There are also numerous other attractions, such as Cabril do Ceira beach or Garganta do Ceira (500 meters away), known for the gorges that can be seen on both sides of the river, offering incredible views and unique experiences.
A unique and magical space, in the middle of nature, where we only hear the birds and the river. A place to turn your mind off. The room is spectacular, huge, the bed super comfortable, the kitchenette part is very well equipped (dishes to eat, cook). At the door we have a small porch so we can have our breakfast while enjoying nature. Finally, the owners, Silvia and Rodney, who are immensely friendly and very, very helpful. If you are looking for a place to rest, with a river at the door and several river beaches nearby, this is the ideal place.
A wonderful place to relax. Very beautiful and peaceful where you can take a magnificent walk to the river and take a dip to relax. I hope to return soon.
Ideal for anyone seeking peace and nature, whether with family or for remote work. The area is stunning, the houses are incredibly comfortable, and the fact that you can take a swim in the river, just a short walk away, made my days. There are incredible river beaches just a few minutes drive from the property. The host family is very welcoming and helpful, and pets are allowed! The design of the space provides plenty of privacy, so working in such a setting was truly inspiring for me. Highly recommended
A wonderful space to match the hosts. The houses are beautiful, the cleanliness, details and comfort are top marks. The surrounding area is very rich in nature with a river just a few meters from the space. A perfect refuge to relax, rest, stroll, date, work… I recommend it and I will definitely come back!
