THE FARM

Feixe Farm is a century-old estate built in 1882. It is about 8 ha, located in Lugar do Feixe (Basto-Santa Tecla) in Celorico de Basto. It is part of a unique forest of sycamore, chestnut and oak trees, and crossed by a stream of clear waters.

It consists of three totally independent cottages each with its own private pool and well spaced to ensure privacy and a different ambience and livability.
The originality of the architecture of each house is well integrated inthe landscape, with full respect for the surrounding nature. Each of them is decorated in an elegant, functional and comfortable manner, for maximum comfort and well being at any season.
Thoroughbred Lusitanian horses are the great passion and the reason for the existence of this property. Here we breed, teach and practice traditional Portuguese riding with Lusitanian horses, considered the world's best saddle horses, whether in classical riding exercises or simply to enjoy a stroll in the farm or in the surrounding forest.

FIG TREE HOUSE (GUEST HOUSE)

The former caretaker's house,completely rebuilt and renewed, a 150 sq. meter abode, consists of 2 suite bedrooms, large common room with fireplace and kitchen, plus a comfortable and cozy mezzanine. It is fully equipped with appliances, satellite TV,internet and heating. It accommodates 4/6 people. The house is dominated by a secular fig tree.

The living room has access to a large terrace overlooking the private pool and surrounding lawn.

THE HORSES

Here we breed, teach and practice traditional Portuguese pure blood Lusitanian riding horses, and we are equipped with all necessary infrastructures, so you can take advantage of the world’s best saddle horses in classical riding exercises or simply trot in complete tranquility in the surrounding nature. Individual lessons and internships in Portuguese horsemanship and riding are available.

    A uniquely beautiful holiday. The house is located somewhere in nowhere and is ideal to switch off. The hosts, José & Anna, are super friendly and accommodating. We spent many evenings with them. They have brought us closer to the Portuguese way of life. Our daughter was able to ride on the horses regularly and the house dogs Tobias and Mikes have always taken care of us. Who likes the country life, is in good hands in the country house Quinta de Feixe in Celorico de Basto. We will definitely go there again ...

    This holiday house is a true gem. It combines elements of the old structure of the 19th century with a modern architecture, a great pool and a quiet and green environment. The house offers more than enough space for a family, a well-equipped kitchen, cool sleeping rooms and beautiful bathrooms. José gave us a warm welcome and was the perfect host throughout the week. We very much enjoyed the company of the horses near the house. If you are looking for a base to explore the beauty of the north of Portugal, then this is a perfect location. Thank you José and Ana for your efforts - we had a perfect week at your holiday house.

    What a wonderful holiday; a chance to experience and see the real Portugal away from the tourist traps. The villa itself was lovely; large, cool in the heat and traditional with all the luxury amenities including a superb pool. It was quiet with no traffic and only horses, dogs and kittens for company. Glorious views across the hills and winding roads between the many small villages that dominate this area. Jose and Anna could not have been more helpful and welcoming. A great base to explore the coast, Porto and local mountains all of which can be reached in no time. Will definitely be back if this review hasn't booked the villa for the next 10 years....
