Holiday Rentals in Oliveira do Hospital - A Guide to Oliveira do Hospital
As you will have guessed, this municipality and town in the north-east of Coimbra district was at one time the home of the Knights Hospitalers. In this mountainous region, Oliveira do Hospital holiday rentals are very similar to Viseu holiday rentals and Guarda holiday rentals in neighbouring districts.
The totally stunning scenery is provided by the mountains of the Serra da Estrela National Park, most of which is in Guarda district to the east.
In this pristine paradise, the main activities are walking, fishing and swimming in the rivers and lakes. The two main rivers are the Mondego (forming the northern border with Viseu) and the Alva in the south. However, your holiday rental in Oliveira do Hospital is likely to be within easy reach of a sparklingly clear river or stream, teeming with fish and offering safe bathing.

Types of Holiday Rentals in Oliveira do Hospital
This is farming country but many farmers have discovered that an Oliveira do Hospital holiday rental brings in more income than their flocks of sheep. Consequently, quite a few farms have been renovated and converted into holiday accommodation.
These Oliveira do Hospital holiday rentals range from large farmhouses accommodating up to 10 people, to tiny cottages offering romantic hideaways. Imagine honeymooning in peace and quiet, surrounded by those incredibly beautiful mountains!
Many of these Oliveira do Hospital holiday rentals do have gardens, often terraced as not much of the land is flat, but you may have difficulty finding a swimming pool as river swimming is the norm around here. A wonderful view from the terrace or garden is almost de rigeur.
Main roads are not much in evidence and the nearest motorway is near Coimbra City. It all adds to the feeling of tranquillity and relaxation.
