Vacation rentals in Santos Evos

Peace, stars, mountains, lge bed (I'm 6'4"), bath+shower & friendly cats. It had it all,apart from cats, but no bad thing with a wren nesting near. Bed&pillows v comfy; view breathtaking. Walking the drive at dusk,enjoyed swooping bats & glow worm. Snippets of other reviews came to mind: 'you need to be a confident driver to handle track to Quinta' (true but we’re used to bumpy tracks with grass up centre. Tip: deactivate proximity sensors or you'll have 6 mins of beeping); 'kitchen isn't a cook's kitchen' (true, it was surprisingly basic, missing a tray, colander & jug for inst. Sure co-host would drive over had we asked as he did with hairdryer; on which note, a mirror by plug upstairs would be welcome).Highlights = Coimbra, &Torre (Portugal's peak) both an hour's drive; sunrise after dawn chorus; cooling in pool surrounded by lavender, citrus &olive trees; wood-floored lookout next to bedroom(tho a tad hot) & cooler sitting room with stone fireplace below. 6night stay almost perfect

We loved our stay at Casa do Professor. It was so quiet and peaceful. Lovely views, beautiful house inside and out. It worked well for a day trip to the Duoro wine area and another to Viseu, it was wonderful to come home to. Also nice walks in the general area (one was from the house, towards town, onto the ecopista). Lovely, quiet area full of small villages. Easy driving, groceries and restaurants nearby. We cooked a few meals and had what we needed. Having the washing machine was helpful. Comfortable beds, beautiful decor, yummy pastries delivered by Antonio's parents. Antonio was responsive and gave a lot of helpful suggestions in response to our questions. Highly recommended!

We had an exceptional stay in this heavenly place. When we arrived, Olinda had the sweet thought of preparing cupcakes for us that were waiting for us on the table. Unspeakably kind, beautiful stories to tell, recommendations... our only regret was that the stay ended. The accommodation is perfectly suited for a couple and 4 children, the natural pool is nice and offers a beautiful view. Thanks again, we hope to see you again!

What a gorgeous stay - we loved it!! So peaceful and beautiful views. We stayed for 5 nights, so we had a nice balance of chilling by the pool and then visiting places like Pinhão. We booked on for the vineyard and farm tour which Moises gave and he was absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and friendly 10/10 - it’s a must if you stay at the vineyard as it provides you with all the history of the place and of course tasting the wine with was made right there. We went to Alijó a few nights for dinner and ate in a couple of nights too as the kitchen has everything you need. The breakfast hampers were an excellent touch too and amazing it’s all so local. The local hike round there is amazing too - fully recommended. It’s 10km and can be walked from the vineyard itself. All in all the most fantastic stay with the most fantastic hosts. Thank you we both loved it!

The most fantastic stay, we will definitely be back! The location and accommodation was even better than the photos and the host and staff were so friendly and approachable. The views from the entire place were fantastic. A very private and peaceful stay, and the breakfast baskets were very generous, full of fresh fruit, bread etc. We did a wine tasting on the vineyard and it was so reasonably priced and great wine. There was also a lovely peacock and cat that roamed the vineyard and came to say hello on occasion. Both pools were fantastic! Thank you for a really memorable holiday 🥰.

It was AMAZING. The convenience is exactly as described. The only tip I give is not to follow the location by GPS, but the image they send. The GPS point can be the Manteigas GNR, as the route the GPS sends is very bad and without access. The city is beautiful and the accommodation is close to the center.

I hesitate writing this review because I want this place to stay a secret… but it’s too good not to share. From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The space is spotless, stylish, and incredibly cozy—like a boutique hotel and a warm hug had a baby. The bed was so comfortable we missed our alarm (zero regrets). The kitchen was impressively stocked—better than mine at home—and every little detail felt intentional and thoughtful. The host was the perfect balance of helpful and hands-off, responding quickly when needed but letting us enjoy the space fully. The location? Peaceful, private, yet close to everything we wanted to do. It’s the kind of place that makes you rethink your life choices and wonder if you could just live here forever. Please don’t book it—I’m already planning my return and want it available. But seriously… if you’re lucky enough to snag a night here, take it. Just leave my dates open.

A perfect stay! Such lovely hosts!
