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!

Vegetable Garden

Beans

We started our very own vegetable garden. It is tiny(3.5m x 3.5m) compared to everyone else's in Portugal, but we're still very proud! We planted a variety of different vegetables and herbs; roquette, chive, coriander, parsley, sweet bell peppers, beans, long red onions, watermelon, cantelope, zucchini, eggplant, brussels sprouts, rosemary. After a week of sun and water our first seeds have started to sprout, and we now have zucchini, watermelon, roquette, and bean plants growing in our garden!

Hopefully by the end of the summer we'll have some of our own fruit and vegetables to eat!
