Feel like escaping the “big city” crowds and heading off to enjoy a unique blend of history, nature and countryside? Then may we suggest the compelling combination of Tomar and its lovely namesake accommodation.

These lovely apartments are located in the heart of the lovely city of Tomar, one step away from the Nabão River, and offer a privileged scenic view over the Convent of Christ, surely one of the most impressive monuments in the whole of Portugal, if not Europe, and which for some reason remains relatively unknown (though that is changing).

When visiting the surroundings, you will find many “tascas”, old little shops that seem to be coming from another era. Have a little break in one of the charming historic cafes and walk through the true Farmers Market with real local farmers to buy some good quality products. Here, you will be able to enjoy the charm of a small countryside town in a contemporary setting framed by quietness and comfort.   

The property offers apartments with one, two or even three bedrooms. Each of which includes air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a flat screen TV and one or two bathrooms.

The architectural design of the apartments has a unique history: even though all rooms have been restored in order to modernise facilities and infrastructures, they have kept many of their original materials and retain that intangible thing called authenticity.

In the morning try out the delicious breakfast service. And for lunch and dinner time, cook some homemade meal in the fully-equipped kitchen or check out one of the cosy restaurants lying nearby.

During the day, you have to explore Tomar! Let yourself be delighted by its natural beauty and impressive historical legacy as capital of the Knights Templar/Order of Christ. All this within an hour’s drive from Lisbon.  

In short: if you looking for a place where culture meets nature, Flattered to be in Tomar might just be the perfect place for you.
