ABOUT THE CASA
The Casa is divided into 2 smaller casas to rent and finds itself at the dead-end of a peaceful street on the edge of the beautiful central Portugese town of Penela, most known for its medieval castle remains that can be freely visited. The casa is located in the shadow of this castle. The Casa itself is surrounded by Portuguese nature which can be seen from both rental casas as well as from the garden. A rolling landscape of hills filled with vineyards and scattered with walking/biking paths. The name 'Casa das Andorinhas' (Andorinhas = Swallows in Portuguese) comes from the many swallows in the area. A short walk from the casa, you will find Penela center which offers many restaurants, a fresh bakery, cafe's etc. A supermarket is just a 5 minute drive away. Conímbriga and Rabaçal, both known for their beautifully preserved Roman excavations are a 15 minute drive away. The university city of Coimbra is at 30 minutes (also accessible by bus) .
OUR CASAS
WHAT OTHERS SAY
We were the absolute first tenants to stay in CdA and we will always remember that. The modern houses are very spacious and have all amenities: new bathrooms, good beds, equipped kitchen, air conditioning, etc. They are also equipped for children - cot, high chair. Our daughter had the time of her life there. The house is located on a ridge on the edge of the village. It is the ideal base for day trips in central Portugal and walks through the mountainous area. You can relax at the large swimming pool. If you had any questions, you could contact both the owners and Adelaide, the English speaking lady that takes care of the house. We received useful tips about restautants, trips,… In short, the stay is highly recommended to discover the real Portugal.

Casa das Andorinhas is highly recommended for those who want to find peace and quiet in this picturesque Portuguese village, enjoy a sporty excursion into the green mountain landscape or simply take a refreshing dip in the beautiful swimming pool. There are 2 comfortably furnished casas, everything is available, and what a view! Finally, in terms of location, Penela is also a good base for a visit to Coimbra, Tomar, the coastal region, etc. In short: highly recommended! We enjoyed our stay here immensely. We will definitely come back again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penela. It was ideal that our house and that of our friends were connected. Lovely swimming pool. Nice view. Nice bakery. Viridi was a winner. Delicious smoothies! The visit to Coimbra was also very worthwhile! Thanks for everything

Although this stay was a last-minute due to corona, our stay here was not too bad. We really enjoyed the entire casa and the peace and quietness that prevails here. The region is also really appealed to us. Our kids had a lot of fun in the pool. Thank you for the stay, the flexibility and the service (also from Adelaide)
