Casa Velha

​Remote and good

Atop Candeeiros mountain, a recent house imitating an old one houses a typical restaurant, whose quality and low prices attract lots of people.

​Good quality, typical dishes (different each day, and with a narrow choice), and, maybe, the exotism of its location, make people gather there every day, with the noise of a Portuguese full restaurant becoming the greatest inconvenience. The people is gentle, and, no doubt, you will feel in the real Portugal.

Favorite Dish: Veal cutlet, Octopus rice, "Cozido à Portuguesa". Grilled Codfish

As mushrooms

What a surprise!

Atop Candeeiros mountain, there-se a village called Casal de Vale-de-Ventos, once very poor.

EXPO 98 open the door to stone exploitation, and business developed the area, without stopping people from leaving to easier places.

Many abandoned houses were recovered, and are now available for touristic renting, with all the conditions and a very interesting price.
​Of course, touristic attractions in the area are very few, but for those who want to stay in a very quiet place, with minimum comfort, and less than one hour distant from Alcobaça, Nazaré, Óbidos, Caldas da Rainha, Santarém, Leiria, Fátima, Tomar and more, this may be a very interesting and cheap solution for a group or large family.

Some friends stayed in one of those houses in New Year's eve, and I passed a few hours with them, in a big and comfortable house (12 of them slept there).

​The problem is that I couldn't find a regular contact to any of them. Maybe the restaurant "Casa Velha" (see my specific tip) may help
