Requinte das Beiras
Welcome to your perfect escape in the heart of Portugal
A place where time slows down and every moment feels meaningful
Requinte das Beiras offers you a charming holiday home at the end of the village Caragosela/Espariz. Here, you can experience pure peace and simplicity.
We renovated our house with respect for its original character. The wooden floors create a rustic atmosphere.
In the bathroom and the kitchen, you can find the original Portuguese tiles.

Escape the crowds
Welcome to our little countryside hideaway in central Portugal — a simple, peaceful place to slow down and enjoy the journey.
If you’re the kind of traveller who prefers quiet villages over busy tourist spots, loves walking through nature, and enjoys discovering places at your own pace, you’ll feel right at home here.
Step outside and you’re straight into the landscape: dirt paths, forest trails, and scenic walking routes that take you through hills, small farms, and traditional villages. It’s perfect for easy hikes, day trips on foot, and getting a real feel for rural Portugal.
Travel slow, connect more
Life here is uncomplicated and genuine. Grab a coffee in the village and you’ll quickly notice how friendly and open the Portuguese people are — a smile, a chat, a warm welcome.
There’s no rush, no crowds — just nature, fresh air, and the rhythm of everyday village life. Spend your days walking, exploring, or simply doing nothing at all.
A great base for exploring
Feel like going further? You’ve got plenty of options:
Head into the Serra da Estrela for longer hikes and mountain views
Take a trip to the Atlantic coast for a laid-back beach day
Wander through Coimbra’s historic streets
Explore Viseu at your own pace
Or stay local and keep it simple — some of the best experiences are right here: a quiet walk, a local café, a good conversation, or a sunset with a good bottle of Dão wine.
Simple, comfortable, yours
This isn’t luxury — it’s real, calm, and comfortable. A place to rest, reset, and enjoy the small things. Whether you’re on a longer journey, traveling solo, or just looking for an affordable escape close to nature, this is a spot where you can truly unwind.
