1 room apartment of 141m² in Celorico de Basto

Wake up under vaulted wood ceilings, on the east-facing slope of Arnoia, to a wide-open view over the Marão and Alvão mountain ranges. This is the top floor of a recently restored home — an intimate, light-filled retreat for those who want to work in calm, unplug, and explore northern Portugal from a serene base. The apartment is fully independent, with its own entrance on the upper level. Life happens in a bright open-plan living room crowned by a high beamed-wood ceiling and characterful triangular windows, with a fully equipped kitchen and a large picture window that frames the valley — one of the best seats in the house to work from, with fast fibre internet throughout. One double bedroom, plus a comfortable sofa bed in the living area, sleeping up to four. One full bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower. Quality linen, blackout curtains and a SmartTV. The design is warm and contemporary throughout: natural wood, microcement floors, indirect lighting, a terracotta herringbone-tiled kitchen and black fixtures. Everything is included in the rent: electricity, water, fibre internet and periodic cleaning. Private parking; access via a short flight of steps from the parking area. Perfect for stays of one month or more — remote work, a sabbatical, slow travel, or simply a long quiet season for two. You're minutes from Mondim de Basto and the Fisgas de Ermelo waterfalls, the village of Celorico de Basto and the Tâmega eco-trail, with Gerês National Park and the Douro within easy driving distance. The area: Genuinely peaceful and rural, surrounded by nature, yet with shops, restaurants and the village close by. Ideal for hiking, river beaches, vinho verde country and the Romanesque route. Minimum stay: 5 days.
