Perfect accommodation, hosts and location
We loved our time here, loads to see and do close by and a very comfortable base to relax in with everything you might need. The kitchen is so well equipped it was easy to cook a meal. Great shower, comfy beds, satellite TV, lovely outside spaces, parking, beautiful swimming pool, even beach/pool towels provided. We were grateful for the welcome pack which meant we didn't need to rush out to the supermarket. Ansiao is a lovely small town only a few minutes drive away with supermarkets, fuel, cafes, bars etc. A very non touristy area, it is very cheap to eat out and very good quality. Tania and Steve are great hosts - close by if needed whilst giving you privacy. There is a really useful info pack in the rental containing lots of tips and ideas for days out. Perfectly located to visit historic towns, the coast, rivers, local beauty spots, go for walks and a very easy drive from Lisbon on empty roads. Would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in this area.

Lovely Location and friendly, helpful hosts.
Situated in a rural olive grove but with easy access to major roads. The Estrella mountains and the coast are within easy reach by car. The town of Ansiao easily caters for your needs at the accommodation. This area shows true Portugal at its best. Loved it.

Absolutely Brilliant
Myself my partner, daughter and mother in law stayed at Case Da Olival it was fabulous. Very clean and comfortable Tania and Steve are great they can guide you and answer anything you may need to know. They know the best places to eat and will also Phone to book a table for you if required. The pool is great our 8 year old daughter learned to swim during our stay which in itself would have been worth it. We travelled to Tomar, Fatima, Aviero, Castelo Branco, Pombal, Leira, Nazare and Fig Foz to name a few. All in all this is a Beautiful Relaxing Villa in a beautiful area of Central Portugal with very pleasant hosts on site if needed. A must for any who are considering this booking.

Ruhe und Erholung
Schönes Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage. Wurden freundlich empfangen, sogar in deutsch und die Vermieterin füllte den Kühlschrank auf, weil Sonntag war. Gepflegter großer Pool im Garten. Die Inneneinrichtung sehr nett, es fehlt an nichts. Können wir gern weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank nochmals. Michael und Elke

Wonderful welcome, very comfortable accommodation and peaceful location, perfect for a restful holiday
Set amid olive trees and Portuguese oaks about 10 minutes drive from the small rown of Ansiao where you will find everything for your daily needs, Casa de Olival has virtually everything for a peaceful vacation for two or an energetic family holiday. We were greeted first by Eddie a very friendly dog followed hot on his heels by owner Tania, whose thoughtfulness and generosity are boundless. The welcome pack includes more than enough for your first breakfast and a bottle of wine cooling to greet you on arrival not to mention the 'accompaniments'. Towels are provided for the pool shared with the owners and local river beaches as well as regular bath towels. Tania provides excellent directions as to how to reach the casa as well as having a well-documented information file on everything within a wide radius.

We were pleased to be part of your Portugal journey and really appreciate the lovely review. We look forward to welcoming you again. P.S The Town of Ansiao is just over 2 kms away and only takes a few minutes to get to the centre.

Calme, cosy, clean et chaleureux
Le jardin de Tania est luxuriant. Le chalet que Steve a construit est bien pensé et bien réalisé. Très fonctionnel, décoré avec goût. Évidemment, la piscine de 10x5m est le joyau dans cet écrin ; c'est un bonheur que d'y plonger pendant les grandes chaleur. Sans oublier l'accueil des propriétaires qui sont disponibles pour donner toutes les informations nécessaires aux excursions comme aux commodités locales. De ce gîte, on peut rayonner et visiter les principales attractions du centre du Portugal assez facilement (entre 30mn et 1h de route). Un excellent séjour en tous points.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Tania et Steve ! Cette location correspond tout à fait à ce qui est annoncé. C'est très calme, champêtre, très propre et spacieux. Nous étions 4 dont 2 adolescents et nous avons tous apprécié! Tania est très attentionnée tout en restant discrète. Merci encore Tania pour toutes ces attentions et pour votre bonne humeur !

Perfect
A lovely property surrounded by pines, eucalypts and small hamlets. Very clean and comfortable house, excellent Internet and close to Ansiao for shopping, good coffee and pastries.The swimming pool is pristine, and the two resident small dogs are lovely. Tania was very helpful with organising our rental car and collecting it in Ansaio...much appreciated! It was an easy drive to exceptional sites such as Conimbraga and the hidden gems in Santiago da Guard castle and Roman house. The river "beaches" are beautiful, and driving easy on the very quiet roads.
