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!

A hopeful attempt...


All the trees that were along the side of the house have been removed and they have started the leveling out of the ground to see where the terrace will come on this side of the house. Amazing what a huge digger can do in about an hours time.


In a hopeful attempt to save the trees, we have replanted them along the border of our garden, but seeing as it is mid-summer, 35 degrees outside and we haven't seen any rain since June 8th, it might just stay at an attempt. But it's worth a try! And it served as a nice conversation starter with our neighbours, who all stood there watching us and shaking their heads that it wouldn't work. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...ok, the garden calls, I better go water the trees!
