Stylish accommodation with stunning views, private pool, vineyard

In a peaceful but not remote hamlet (just 5 mins drive from Penela, 20 mins from Coimbra) the owners of Casa Túlipa offer you for rent this apartment on the 1st floor. This modern, roomy (150 m2) accommodation is outstandingly comfortable and well equipped for holiday makers seeking peace and natural beauty. Apartment Casa Túlipa sleeps 4, and offers 2 bedrooms (each with bathroom en-suite) fitted wardrobes, and extra long beds! There are two sitting rooms, (one with smart tv, dvd-player, the other one with hifi equipment), a dining area, and a fully fitted kitchen. It will appeal to those who like to walk, swim, ride or who prefer chilling out at the swimming pool or on one of the private terraces or garden/vineyard enjoying the stunning views to the Serra da Lousã. Or for those who would like to go sightseeing there are numerous places of interest to be discovered in less than an hour’s drive. But most of all it will appeal to those who wish to have a break ‘away from it all’ in total comfort and privacy.

Casa Túlipa is located between Lisbon and Porto (one and a half hours drive from both airports) in Portugal’s green heart, close to the beautiful city of Coïmbra. There are low budget flights to Porto or Lisbon. The distance between Casa Túlipa and both airports is approximately one and a half hour by car.

The region of Serra da Lousã
Also known as Portugal’s ‘Tuscany’ the region of Serra da Lousã is one of loveliest and most diverse regions of the country and not yet discovered by mass tourism. It is an area of astonishing diversity, from the high, rugged, forested mountains of the east, through lush, verdant valleys to the flatlands and lagoons of the coastal strip in the west where you will find the great golden beaches of the Silver Coast (Costa Prata). Discover the many warm, crystal rivers and lakes. Taste the surprisingly delicious but low priced meals and wines in the local restaurants. Visit the historic cities and villages and meet authentic Portugal and its very friendly inhabitants. Enjoy culture, nature, and peace.

Some reviews from previous guests who booked through other booking sites:
'Delightful accommodation with a wonderful pool for those refreshing early morning dips or to cool down at the end of a long day's touring around this stunning part of Central Portugal. Set near a very peaceful village but just a short drive away from good restaurants, river beaches, historical places of interest for all ages and nightlife in nearby Coimbra. The owners are a friendly couple and helpful if you have a problem. The surrounding area is really lovely and the temperature in August was perfect. Having breakfast in the sun every morning was a great pleasure. Wish we were there now!'
Thomas family, August 2013

'We stayed at Casa Túlipa for a week whilst traveling around the area. The location is ideal for exploring this unspoiled part of Portugal. After a long day out it was lovely to come back and spark up the BBQ on the terrace, open a bottle of the local vino and cool off in the beautiful pool. It is a lovely no-nonsense property that served our needs as a family of four perfectly. Thanks Dick and Jose for your warm hospitality. We would definitely stay in Casa Túlipa again.'

'Great for a quiet relaxing stay. This is a fantastic location, nearby the city of Coimbra in the heart of Portugal. The accommodation was very clean, tidy, and well equipped and overlooks some stunning views. There is a beautiful pool and there are several sun terraces. The owners were very welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. Lots of good extras, like a BBQ and washing machine. A car is very helpful for travel from the airport (an easy 1,5 hour drive from Porto) and to discover this lovely part of Portugal. We fully recommend a stay.'
George & Anna, James & Karen, July 2014

'Casa Tulipa is a wonderful place for a holiday. It is spacious, modern and well-equipped. We especially liked the fact it had two living rooms - this meant there was always space to do your own thing. As well as the inside space, there was ample choice of where to sit outside - on a balcony, on the terrace in comfortable seats or by the pool on sun loungers. The pool, by the way, is really great and we spent many a happy hour there, reading, sunbathing and swimming. The view from the living room is spectacular - a landscape of hills and woods which you will never tire of watching. This part of Portugal is so unspoiled and there were plenty of things to see and do in the area.
Our hosts were very welcoming and so helpful at all times. They gave us lots of tips on where to go and had even left food for us in the fridge and freezer! We can thoroughly recommend Casa Túlipa!'
By Tyler family, August 2014

'Wij zijn in augustus 2014 twee weken in Casa Tulipa geweest, en er is maar een woord dat de lading dekt: HEERLIJK! Wat een geweldige omgeving, wat een lieve mensen, wat een heerlijk eten, en wat een heerlijke plek om te vertoeven. Wij hebben samen met onze twee zoontjes van 7 en 9 een optimale vakantie gehad, erg veel genoten van de veelzijdigheid van de directe omgeving, zoals het winkelen door pittoreske straatjes in Coimbra, zwemmen in idyllische bergmeertjes aan de voet van een kasteel ruine, klimmen in een klimbos tot wel 15 meer hoogte, of een bezoek aan de Atlantische oceaan met bijpassende boulevard.
En op de dagen dat we geen zin hadden om er op uit te trekken, genoten wij met volle teugen van CASA TULIPA, met zijn geweldige uitzicht en overdaad aan luxe! Kortom: voor een vakantie die je je hele leven zult herinneren kunnen wij dit iedereen van harte aanbevelen! Dick en Jose, dank voor deze heerlijke twee weken!'

'In september 2014 zijn we in het zonovergoten Portugal geweest. We verbleven in Casa Tulipa. In onze ogen een ideale uitvalsbasis voor al het moois dat Portugal te bieden heeft. Over de regio kunnen we van alles vertellen. Er is voor iedereen wel wat te ontdekken. Cultuur, strand, winkelplezier, leuke mensen. We laten dit echter graag aan uw oordeel over. Iedereen heeft zijn eigen interesses. Maar er is voor een ieder wel wat te beleven. Variatie genoeg, lijkt ons. Casa Túlipa biedt alles wat je voor een perfecte vakantie nodig hebt: ruimte, mooie, gezellige en zeer complete inrichting (we grepen nergens op mis!), prachtig zwembad met dito uitzicht. Met andere woorden een top locatie voor een top vakantie.' Marion en Enrico

We had a wonderful time at Casa Tulipa!
What a beautiful house in a wonderful environment. We had a marvelous time staying there for a full month. It was really our home away from home. The view is spectacular (I won't soon forget the mist-shrouded hills in the morning!). The house is fully equipped and super-comfortable. The kitchen has everything you might need, and more. Cozy sitting room, great bedrooms, and bathrooms. And when you're staying for a month washing machine and dryer are essential. A perfect stay. The weather was ideal towards the end of the month and we enjoyed the swimming pool too! We will come back. Thank you so much, Josephina and Herman!

Fantastisch!!!
Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in dit prachtige huis. Het is van alle gemakken voorzien en het heeft ook nog eens een fantastisch uitzicht. Je hebt een auto nodig om de buurt te kunnen ontdekken. Helaas waren wij er te kort om al het moois te bekijken. Wij komen graag nog een keer terug!

Very spacious house with stunning views over wooded hills and plenty of space for relaxing outside. Eating out locally was disappointing so the large well-equipped kitchen was a life-saver.

Fabulous!
Great location with superior and stylish accommodation. Josephina is an excellent hostess and made our stay very comfortable. We loved Coimbra but regretted visiting Porto as it was too crowded. Penela castle is good to visit as is the Schist villages and Aveiro. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Fabulous house and pool.
This house is one of the nicest we’ve rented...fabulous, spacious, spotlessly clean apartment and great pool. Jose welcomed us warmly and left some goodies in the kitchen. We had the balconies, pool and garden to ourselves for the entire week. Within easy drive of Coimbra, which we all loved. Overall, a fabulous property, and I’d have no hesitation in returning.

A wonderful apartment set in a beautiful location.
We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks here. The accommodation was set in a beautiful location with wonderful views. With two nearly teenage children we mixed up days relaxing by the swimming pool with days out exploring the region. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, comfortable with a very well-equipped kitchen, and it was great to have an outdoor seating area on the first floor terrace as well as an outdoor eating area with BBQ close to the pool. A car is essential given the location of the property with the coast about 45 mins away, Porto about an hour and a half away and Coimbra a little over half an hour away. Supermarkets were also a little drive away too although Josie had stocked the fridge for our arrival so we didn't need to worry about heading straight out to the supermarket. We had a great time and would happily recommend this property to others.

Brilliant family get away in a beautiful location.
Josephina was an excellent host, ideal to have the pool to yourself, accommodation spotless, with everything you need. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting a getaway from it all holiday in the sun. Car essential, shops and restaurants short drive away. Coimbra city around 20mins, well worth a visit.

Volgende keer blijven we langer!
Wat jammer dat ons verblijf zo kort was! De villa is fantastisch, de verhuurder verwende ons met wijn en lekkers in de koelkast. Ook het weer was geweldig en heerlijk om de streek te verkennen. Alles was al in bloem en de zon scheen: wat een verademing! Portugal blijkt één van de veiligste plekken nu met de Corona-situatie. Hopelijk waait alles snel over en kunnen we snel weer komen genieten van het heerlijke uitzicht en een plons in het zwembad wagen.
