Coja Holiday Cottage, Lovely Views, Near River Beach, Sleeps 6/7
Lovely self catering holiday cottage in the attractive market town of Coja in the Arganil district. This property was renovated in 2007 to provide comfortable self catering facilities for your perfect holiday. Many original features have been kept such as the stone walls, large wood beams and the wooden shutters. There are 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room with Portuguese satellite TV (includes some foreign channels) and wood burning stove for the winter. There is a door that opens on to the large balcony overlooking the river and across the valley to the mountains beyond. The kitchen and dining area are in the old converted wine cellar which opens out to the patio and garden with stone built BBQ and outdoor dining furniture. New for 2014 free wi fi connection in the house. The house is 200ms to the river beach and 500ms from the town centre with cafes, restaurants etc. Coja is a small market town of approx. 1500 inhabitants in the district of Arganil The Rio Alva runs through the centre and is spanned by an ancient Roman bridge to join the 2 halves. The house is situated in the more residential half overlooking the river and across to the old cobbled centre on the other side. Central Portugal is a beautiful, rural part of Portugal that remains relatively undiscovered by the hordes of tourists that are normally attracted to the Algarve in the South. There are forests and rivers, mountains and valleys, rural villages and ancient cities to explore. A beautiful area to come and explore or just relax!

Fabulous holiday home
We had a fabulous stay in Jane's house in Coja. It's right on the river front so perfect location. The house is spacious, comfortable and clean. I'd highly recommend and hope to return. Thank you.
Cette maison ancienne en schiste avec vue sur le rio Alva nous a enveloppé de bonheur.
On part se baigner à pied à la praia à 300 m et on part faire les courdes et boire l'apéro à pied à 500 m au village.
Belle ballade à pied pour aller à Barril d'Alva
Nous n'avons pas eu le temps d'aller à Gois ni à Piodâo, il faut au moins une semaine pour tout faire.
Casa muito agradável, nada de modernices, muito funcional, com tudo o necessário para passar umas férias agradáveis. Uma Sitio espectacular, bem localizado, tranquila, boa paisagem, relacionamento um pouco limitado mas suficiente. OS miúdos adoraram a casa. Um agradecimento especial à Jan pela sua simpatia, apesar de falar só pelo telefone, espero voltar e que da próxima tenha o prazer de a conhecer.
Thanks very much
A casa é bonita, muito bem equipada e serve bem para 6/7 pessoas, tal como anunciado.
Fica bastante próxima da praia fluvial mais próxima (cerca de 5 minutos a pé!) e muito próxima também do centro de Côja com bares, cafés, restaurantes, talhos, clínicas, farmácia, etc.

Charming house full of character
Our family of four had a great time in Coja. The house has a good layout, plenty of space including two outside terraces overlooking the river. Everything was clean, working and full of character which for us is the most important aspect. Just a few minutes from a lovely river beach with cafes. The town is also nearby, no need to drive, everything extremely pleasant. The neighbours were very nice and welcoming too. There is a road behind the house, but traffic noise not a problem as it is not busy. This is not a 5 star residence but it is homely, cheerful, comfortable, clean and relaxing and we felt it was very good value. The river beach is one of the best in the area although the house is also a good base to explore further afield. We had a marvellous holiday.

Characterful? Or just old and in need of modernisation?
To each their own opinion..... for me it was the latter. Very dark and musty in some parts of the house and very uncomfortable beds. In its favour, it’s very close to the local river beach.

Lovely house overlooking the river!
This pretty house is conveniently placed within walking distance of the local shops.The accommodation is comfortable and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. It is delightful sitting out on the verandas and we enjoyed some lovely sunshine even at this early time of year!
Jane the owner was most helpful and left information about all the best restaurants in the area and many great places to visit.

A lovely cozy cottage for a Winter's stay.
I had a lovely cozy seven week stay at this beautiful cottage which is an ideal place for an Autumn or Winter's holiday. I would highly recommend this property to my family and friends, and I would like to add to my experience here and return in the summer for a visit too. It truly is a very special place.

Casa bonita en Coja
Passamos boas ferias en casa de Jane e Vasco en Coja. A casa e bem equipada e restaurada com tudo que nos precisamos. Os dias de calor passamos no rio muito perto de casa e as noites jantamos no jardim de casa!
Certeza voltamos!

Relaxing house, beautiful village.
Côja is a beautiful village and the house is equally as lovely, right on the riverside. Only a few minutes walk from a bar/ restaurant and where you can swim in the river. 5 min walk from the town centre. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
