I guess this is real Portugal. Some of the buildings are older but friendly. Kind people and some buildings are beautiful or homes are beautiful and wonderful gardens filled with roses and many with extensive vegetables
QB restaurant had a wonderful prom dish
Quiet
Cute cafe with grocery store attached
Very small village, but there's a lovely little combination cafe & shop for your basic needs. The town of Lousã is about an hour walk or a roughly ten minute drive, and there's plenty to choose from there (a Lidl and Continente included, and a great little cafe called Meeples). Coimbra is accessible by about a 35 minute bus ride, but the bus system can be a little tricky the first time! (Transdev.pt has most of the information you need.)
Definitely Meeples in Lousã! But there are a bunch of great little shops for some fun shopping, too. The town sits at the base of the mountains that lead up to a ton of amazing outdoor exploration opportunities and stunning old stone villages and other attractions. And Coimbra is an attraction, in itself! Day trips are super fun to wander & explore, but it definitely takes more than one to really get a taste of the beautiful town.
And even here in Foz de Arouce, there is the Momo Circus museum, where they have GREAT performances and shows (not necessarily all circus, wonderful music as well). That should not be missed, it's an absolute gem, and so unique to this village.
I booked the green room and loved waking up every morning to the birds singing and the peacefulness of the property. The cats and goats are a blessing and loved being in their energy. This space is is more remote which I prefer, but you can walk or take a taxi to Lousa or take the bus to Coimbra, and from there head off on an adventure. I have really loved being in this space and in Manuela's home. I highly recommend her and her sanctuary for anyone looking for a quiet space or for inner reflection.
It's quiet and remote, so not much going on. But the people around are very friendly
Definitely recommended for people who enjoy nature, quietness, calmness and good company.
Calm village life
The local shop has all the basics and the owner is very friendly :)
