Casa da Lima
Casa da Lima is the name we chose for our house and company. All activities we do or will do, such as cooking classes, healthy workshops, guideing (silent) walks, and mindful walks and retreat will be hosted by Casa da Lima.
Our property consists of two houses. Casa da Lima, the house where we live in and a stone house next to the main house: Casinha da Lima, which means ‘little lime house’. This one is available for tourists or pilgrims or small groups. It is alongside the caminho to Santiago de Compostela and Fatima and close to PR and GR routes.
Casa da Lima welcomes guests for one or more nights. We will spoil you with delicious food. If you love the peace and quietness and the marvelous views, this place is just for you. Just remember that there is space for four people, so don’t hesitate to reserve in time. Since we also are listed on booking websites, our availability can change in a few moments.
Casinha da Lima
What we offer is a nice little house with four great places to rest and sleep well, with a private bathroom and separate toilet. We also prepare meals and simple breakfast on request.
There is space to relax on the patio, with shaded areas below the old grapevine. With the typical Calcada Portuguese, the hand made stone pavement, you can really enjoy the Portuguese environment with the antique mill, and the famous Germanelo and Jerumelo mountain in background. We also have a nice front garden next to our two lime and apple trees.
Early arrivals are welcome to sit and rest on our patio. We usually eat around 18:30. Just reach out and talk to us!
Fruit garden
Please feel free to pick and eat our organic fruits from our fruit garden, just 300 meters away from our house (behind the Portuguese white windmill). Of course we have lime! We also different kinds of apples, pears, peaches, persimmon, loquats, grapes etc. Depending on the season you can prepare yourselves a fresh fruit juice drink.
