A Casa Amarela Guest room

Beside the Vale da Fonte stream in São Martinho da Cortiça, A Casa Amarela occupies a yellow-facade village house roughly thirty minutes east of Coimbra, deep in the Serra da Lousã foothills — a quiet base for hikers and drivers touring the schist villages rather than city sightseers.

Rooms are simple and non-smoking, with free parking on-site and Wifi throughout; breakfast is served each morning before guests set out for the Lousã or Góis trailheads.

Coimbra's university and river Mondego lie within easy day-trip reach by car.
