About this property
HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH
"Heaven is a place on Earth" is a secluded cottage in a heavenly setting, with private waterfront at Castelo de Bode Lake in Central Portugal. It is comfortable without being luxurious, but the fact of having your feet in the water is what gives it its' unique charm. Water temperature is around 28deg during the summer, ideal for all the water sports. Gear is freely available for: Stand Up Paddle, windsurfing, catamaran sailing. Wake boarding school is half a mile away. Great hiking and mountain biking paths from the cottage. The cottage has no immediate neighbors, and the silence is pristine. The property has a long waterfront, beautiful views, fresh mountain air, and the water is crystal clear. The access to the water is via gently sloping landscaped gardens, and a large private raft is permanently moored to the property. There is plenty of space to sunbathe and to launch the SUP boards, as well as tie up the Hobie Cat. Serra is a quaint little village up the hill, with 2 small cafes and a mini-market. Take a 20 min drive from the cottage, with all the main supermarkets and amenities of a European town. The "Convent of Christ" is a world class monument, and Fatima is not far away. There are now 3 additional Eco Friendly bungalows available for large parties. The bungalows can sleep 4 adults, and have all the necessary amenities you would find in a modern hotel suite. The bungalows are overlooking the lake, and the view from both beds is absolutely stunning. The bungalows can also be rented separately, the price is 100 euros per night with a minimum stay of 7 nights.

We were a group of 12 ( two families ) - The Villa was great , comfy beds , lots of update to date bathrooms. Enough seating and large table , where we BBQ every night and played games .
For us the icing on the cake was the lake and our own private pontoon . We paddle board every day and loads of water equipment was available .
Will we be back - oh yes !
Un moment exceptionnel dans.un endroit paradisiaque avec une hôte très disponible qui a su faire de cet endroit un lieu magique. Le lac est sublime et il est si agréable de s'y baigner à toute heure de la journée....beaucoup de possibilités d'activités : wake surf, location de bateaux, paddle. Merci beaucoup. Le lieu est également idéalement situé pour visiter Coimbra, Farima, Dornes...
O local é Mágico, tem uma energia de grande cumplicidade, toda a família adorou os três dias magníficos ali passados! Obrigada Elsa pela sua simpatia e preocupação para que nos sentíssemos em casa. Beijinhos muito grandes para toda a família HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH.
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans la villa de Tomar près d’un superbe lac/rivière. Nous avons profité amplement de la baignade et des alentours. Recommandons à tous ceux qui aiment être un peu isolé dans une nature un peu sauvage et vivre à l’extérieur mais avec tout le confort d’une belle villa.
A casa é muito boa e tivemos uma estadia espetacular. Tem uma localização incrível sobre a barragem de castelo de bode, com um deck que permite ir para a barragem, quer seja para nadar, para usar as pranchas disponibilizadas pela casa ou para andar nos barcos que é possivel alugar. A proprietária sempre foi muito simpatica e acessível, fazendo de tudo para melhorar a nossa estadia. Recomendo!
