"Quinta Lua Azul has been a labour of love. From a ruin, it has been restored to a beautiful traditional Portuguese farmhouse. A totally separate wing has now opened for guests to stay and experience the "real" Portugal. If you want England-on-Sea, with lobster pink tourists eating chicken in a basket, then this is not the place for you.....

However, if you want the authentic Portuguese experience and enjoy comfortable, rustic surroundings; gorgeous countryside; swimming in clean rivers and lakes; mountain biking; freshwater fishing, or simply relaxing on a peaceful sun drenched veranda to recharge your batteries, then Quinta Lua Azul is the perfect place for you.!

Local restaurants serving fresh fish and delicious Portuguese and international dishes are a 15 minute drive away. The fascinating university city of Coimbra is an hour away and Pombal and Tomar are also well worth a visit. Anyone interested in theological history and architecture will enjoy walking to the many local churches and generally exploring the historic sights and ruins of this famous Knights Templar stronghold. If you love walking through lush green countryside, olive and lemon groves, and have a curiosity to see what is round the next corner, then you will love the surroundings and spend hours exploring..

The farmhouse has a small family of gentle and fully house-trained pets – currently three cats and two dogs. All are child-friendly and great fun, yet will keep out of your way if that’s your preference. Despite the emphasis on exploring or R&R (rest and relaxation), the farmhouse, courtyard and veranda are fully wi-fi’d and would be a wonderful haven for writers or anyone who wants to work in peaceful surroundings in weather that is reliably much better than in Northern Europe! A comprehensive video/DVD library and a large collection of books are also available for relaxing evenings in.

Quinta Lua Azul is easy to find. It is a couple of kilometres from the nearest market town – Pedrogao Grande - and a 2 hour drive from Lisbon (almost entirely on motorways and major roads) or a 90 minute train journey from Lisbon to Pombal followed by a 40 minute car or taxi journey. It takes only slightly longer from Porto – again via main roads or the train. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do…. " (JMC - England) "....We came for a 'break' in a busy schedule and came away with so much more. Your hospitality and care for us was beyond all expectations...and we so appreciated your immediate respnse to the inevitable things we had forgotten to pack.... It really is a lovely place. We have so many memories, the working Monastery; river walks; markets; restaurants and personalised guided tours... we will return, sooner rather than later! I would like kindred spirits to be able to have the same opportunity to rest, recuperate; adventure; just be; converse and most of all, to enjoy your very special brand of hospitality." (H & M - England)   "Just to let you know that both myself and my family enjoyed a lot our stay and your welcome at your nice place in Mo Grande. One day we will return." (HV - Portugal)   "It was amazing to stay. A great atmosphere. The house offers a lot of comfort. A big terrace with a beautiful view. It was well worth making the journey." (EJV - Holland)
