The house and south-facing garden and patios have stunning views down the hillside. There are several pretty river-beaches close by as well as beautiful landscapes and forests in which to walk or cycle. The property is also only a short drive from the University City of Coimbra with its shops, entertainment and culture.
Casa Joan consists of a main 2 bedroom (both en-suite) property with a 5mx8m living room - kitchen on the upper floor and a detached 4.5mx3.5m utility room (originally a bread oven and store). Two large terrace areas exist to the side and rear of the property, both of which benefit from the setting sun. A further sloping garden area containing apple, orange and olive trees leads on to a communally farmed hillside with spectacular views west towards the Atlantic.
