Holiday Rentals in Cantanhede - A Guide to Cantanhede
This rather strangely-shaped municipality in Coimbra district has a lot to offer in terms of location and a holiday rental in Cantanhede could be well worth looking at. The strange shape comes from the parish of Tocha to the east of the municipality which appears to have been “tacked on” and gives Cantanhede a short coastline on the Costa del Prata.
The coastline here is not built-up and seaside holiday rentals in Cantanhede benefit from wide open expanses of sand and dunes. What you won’t find is much in the way of ice-cream sellers.
The beautiful university town of Coimbra, steeped in history, is also within easy reach. This is wine country although rather less well-known than the Duoro Valley. Some delightful sparkling wines come from the Bairrada vineyards and from your Cantanhede holiday rental you may well choose to follow one or both of the two marked “wine routes”
If you are going to Cantanhede for your holidays, make sure you read our guide to getting the best deals on car rental in Cantanhede.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Cantanhede
Holiday rentals in Cantanhede come in all shapes and sizes and you should be able to find one to suit, whatever your requirements.
Along the shoreline are apartments to rent in Cantanhede, some described as foot-in-the-water. These are not in large blocks or purpose-built resorts. The development here is definitely low-rise. More developed are the beaches to the north around Mira although even these don’t compare with the high rise developments of the Algarve.
In the countryside are farmhouses to rent in Cantanhede and cottages to rent in Cantanhede. As the area becomes more discovered by holidaymakers looking for somewhere less hectic than the popular resorts further south, so more villas to rent in Cantanhede are becoming available.
Benefiting from two major routes – the A17 to the west and the A1 to the east – Cantanhede holiday rentals are easily reached by road. Even a day-trip to Porto is perfectly feasible.
