About this property

Refuge in the countryside

  • Located in the typical and charming Marinha da Mendiga village, where the population still keeps the traditions and customs alive. Casa da Cisterna Velha is a typical house dating from 1930, but with the comfort of our day. Its background is the beautiful Serra d´Aire and Candeeiros, ideal for those who want to escape the stress of everyday life.
    It is surrounded by a magnificent garden where you can find olive, fig and walnut trees as well as other vegetation.
    You have at your disposal a private swimming pool where you can relax and admire the charming Serra.
    If you are a nature lover, venture out on the trails of the Serra d´ Aires e Candeeiros Natural Park (mountain biking, hiking, donkey rides or horse riding) and immerse yourself in the wonders of nature where you can contemplate one of the most beautiful Sunset .
    Right next door you can visit Fórnea, have a Pic-Nic in the Mendiga lagoons, visit the Mira d´Aire Caves (next door have the water park), Algar da Pena Caves, have the Park where you can find the footprints of Dinosaur.
    At the cultural level, there is the Porto Mos Castle, the Aljubarrota Center, the Batalha Monastery, the Alcobaça Monastery and the Leiria Castle.
    The beach of Nazaré is also close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal and the emblematic varinas best known by women of 7 skirts, worth visiting.
    Of course, we cannot forget about the Shrine of Fatima. All here near the cistern house.

Amazing well-maintained property with large beatiful garden.

We used the house both as a great basis for journeys across Portugal as well as a leisure site itself. It perfectly satisfied both interests. The owner, Angelica, provided us a flawless support and an impressive welcome with fruits, wines, cakes, beatifully arranged in the property. We can gladly recommend the house for visiting.

From the moment we arrived this place has a wow factor. Angelina was there to welcome us and provided a gorgeous platter of local meats and cheeses. The house and grounds are beautiful, the area is stunning…1 week isn’t enough…The property has all the facilities you could think of for a rural escape. Can’t recommend this highly enough. We loved it!
