Welcome to Zororo (which means 'rest' in Zulu). A relaxing haven set in the heart of central Portugal's Beira region, frequently described as the most attractive and undeveloped corner of this special country.
Located on the borders of a traditional village in the Serra Lousa hills with the Ceira River a short walk down the valley side.
We offer half board luxury accommodation exclusively to adults who enjoy time away from the stresses of everyday life (and children!) in the company of others appreciative of delicious food, great local wines and stimulating conversation in well-appointed surroundings.
Our 5-ensuite double bedrooms are air-conditioned, centrally heated and generously sized and each has a balcony with views across the valley or forest.
There is a large guest lounge and dining room, with contemporary furniture over marble flooring, linked by a double spiral staircase in wrought iron and chestnut.
Downstairs there is a huge games room with a pool table, table football and large Plasma TV, DVDs, board games, a selection of books etc.
Outside in the gardens is our new 12 metre swimming pool with a hand laid mosaic sun terrace, hard surface tennis court, vineyard and orange, lemon, walnut and kiwi trees. Around the vineyard we grow much of our own vegetables (maize, onions, chou-chou, lettuce, greens, corvo, etc) using approved organic methods.
Your stay includes breakfast and an appetising three course evening meal using regional recipes and seasonal local ingredients with aperitifs, wine (including our own reds), coffees and liquors, all taken in the company of your hosts, Kevin and Tanaka, and fellow guests.
The area around Zororo provides a wide variety of country activities, including horse riding, organised hill walking, nature watching, canoeing, cycling, etc, as well as a unique opportunity to see and experience the 'real' Portugal, little altered for 100's of years, in the farming communities, villages and small towns of the area.
Only slightly further a field is the old capital and university city of Coimbra, with the often deserted sand dune backed beaches of the Silver Coast beyond.
