Welcome to Zororo (which means 'rest' in Shona). 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 luxury and sophisticated accommodation exclusively to adults who enjoy time away from the stresses of everyday life (and children!) in the company of others 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 LCD TV, DVDs, board games, a selection of books etc.

Outside in the gardens is our new 11 metre swimming pool with a hand laid mosaic sun terrace, hard surface tennis court, BBQ area, vineyard and orange, lemon and kiwi trees.

Your stay includes breakfast and the opportunity to join us for 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 afield is the old capital and university city of Coimbra, with the often deserted sand dune backed beaches of the Silver Coast beyond.
