Oak House is much more than a simple rural accommodation — it is a home with history, soul, and family tradition, nestled in the peaceful Vale do Lobo, in São João do Monte (Caramulo). Belonging to the same family for several generations, the house was inherited in ruins and lovingly restored between 2008 and 2011 — a project carried out mostly by the family itself, with dedication and care. For years, it served as a private holiday retreat, until in 2025 the dream of sharing it with other travelers came true. Today, Oak House Caramulo opens its doors to those seeking rest, nature, and authenticity in one of the most charming areas of the Caramulo Mountains. This fully equipped holiday home is perfect for families, groups of friends, or couples, offering warm and comfortable spaces. It features three spacious bedrooms, two of them with private bathrooms, ensuring privacy and convenience. The shared areas — a cozy living room with a traditional fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and an outdoor patio with a barbecue and dining area — are designed to create moments of togetherness, peace, and well-being. At Oak House, every detail reflects the love and care invested in this family project. Here, you will truly feel at home, surrounded by mountain landscapes, fresh air, and the authenticity of Portugal’s countryside. Come and discover the Caramulo region — and create unforgettable memories in this house full of soul and history.
