Holiday Rentals in Sao Pedro do Sul - A Guide to Sao Pedro do Sul
Nestled neatly between Castro Daire and Oliveira de Frades is the municipality of Sao Pedro do Sul (St Peter of the South) Holiday rentals in Sao Pedro do Sul are very hard to find, this not being typical tourist country.
It is, however, quite amazingly charming, peaceful and beautiful and if you did manage to find a Sao Pedro do Sul holiday rental you would find yourself in something of a rural paradise.
Like so many rural Portuguese municipalities, Sao Pedro do Sul is a wonderland of green valleys, crystal-clear streams and lakes and idyllic mountain villages. Flocks of sheep and goats graze peacefully on the hillsides and from your Sao Pedro do Sul holiday rental you can really forget about the outside world, for a while at least.
The main town, also called Sao Pedro do Sul, is in the south of the municipality, at the confluence of the Rio Sul and the Rio Vouga and would make a good base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.
