Casa do Olival (which means Olive tree House) is located in Figueiró dos Vinhos, a charming old town located in the center of Portugal – 45 kms from Coimbra, 50 Kms from Tomar, 180 Kms from Lisbon and 160 Kms from Spain.
In the reconstruction, the owner of Casa do Olival tried to give a touch of modernity but keeping the main characteristics of the house, both inside and outside.
Surrounded by a small garden area, the house is set in the middle of an olive grove, where there are also some fruit trees. That makes it possible for our guests, depending on the time of the year, to pick up oranges for a delicious orange juice, or even olives for an outdoor appetizer.
Casa do Olival is a family project and it was created with inspiration from different parts of the world. The rooms, for example, were named “Portugal”, “Mozambique” and “Sweden” according to the countries were the different family members live.
Despite the quiet and peaceful rural environment that is enjoyed in the house, it is only a 7 minutes walking distance to the center of the village.
