Description
We are a family of 5 living in central Portugal. We at the end of a small village surrounded by fields and forest.
Thanks for our 3 kids our house is very family friendly and baby safe. We have enough toys, books (in Czech, Russian and Portuguese), high chairs, potty etc.
Our land is big enough offering many places to play freely and our village is small and safe with omnipresent "grandma police ".
We also have a 10yo dog for which we need pet sitting. He is very friendly, used to kids. Generally just occupies our sofa or terrace and enjoys 2 walks a day.
Our property is accessible by car/vans. We have a flat parking area suitable even for caravans.
As there is no public transport in our rural area a car is a must.
The village is located between the town Tábua and Oliveira do Hospital. There are all the supermarkets, hospital, pharmacies, gym etc.
More about the location:
Lisbon 3 hours
Porto 2 hours
Coimbra 1 hour
1h15 from the coast
1h to Serra de Estrela
15 to 20 min to beautiful river beaches and other villages and town (markets, events, fesrivals)
We are primarily looking for pet sitters fot while we are away but we can welcome Workawayers if they come with their own van/caravan in which they can sleep. :)

We have a house with open space kitchen, dining area and living room (sofa bed for 2 adults or 3 kids), master bedroom with parents bed and one bunk bed, home office room with additional single bed and table for working on the computer. Our house has a front and back terrace, both very sunny and enjoyable. There is one bathroom. We have a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There are a few stair around the house so not 100% barrier free.
What else ...
During the winter months we use a wood burner to heat the house, so it’s important that guests are comfortable using it (we will explain how it works).
