Project Portugal-


Casa nas Serras which started out as 'Project Portugal' is a charming Bed and Breakfast located in Vila Nova de Poiares, Central Portugal. In between Porto in the north and Lisbon in the south we are situated 30 minutes east of Coimbra on the foothills of the Serra da Estrela.

After the renovations, this authentic country house has been turned into a small paradise in the Portuguese countryside.

Our blog below shows every step of the way, from tearing down parts of the house, to the reconstruction, the works on the swimming pool, interior designing, gardening and much more.

Please feel free to take a look around on this blog or on our website http://www.casanasserras.com

Questions, comments and requests for availability can be sent to info@casanasserras.com and we´ll get back to you as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you here in Portugal!

Green green grass...




After a long weeks work we have our path and grass areas mapped out. We sowed the grass and, lined off the paths with rocks and brought in gravel. With the help of the sun and water we hope to have more grass soon, but as you can see we´re off to a good start!

Our guestrooms are also as good as done, waiting on a couple last pieces of furniture to take final pictures for the website, but here is a little preview.

The wall...

 Last week we were busy building a wall between our swimming pool and the house.

The wall will support the land in front of the house and it also creates a nice place to sit next to the pool.

The stairs will provide easy access to the pool from the guest rooms.
