Fodor's Expert Review Monte da Várzea
Casa Branca, Abrantes, Santarém, 2205-134, Portugal
This farmstead 20 km (12½ miles) east of Abrantes is set in fertile land dotted with lagoons near the banks of the Tagus River; its 12 houses—some traditionally decorated, others strikingly modern—take advantage of this peaceful setting. Breakfast is included, and lunch and dinner may be served in the restaurant or, on request, in your accommodations. There are plenty of opportunities for country walks and birdwatching.

- staff can arrange canoeing, horse riding, mountain biking
- the gem of a pool once stored water for irrigating the fields
