Frequently Asked Questions
For whom is Casa Gemeos suitable?
When both houses are booked, a maximum of 14 persons + 1 baby can stay. We focus mainly on large, multi-generational families who travel together but still want enough space. Newly formed families, grandparents with children and grandchildren or parents with teenagers/young adults & sweethearts for example.
Casa Gemeos is unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair users because of the stairs nor a party destination because of its quiet location.
Pets are not allowed!
What is there to do?
Enjoying life (outdoors) is very important to us. That is why we focus on outdoor recreational activities for all ages:
Heated swimming pool 8x4m (April – October), barbecue, darts, table tennis, petanque, hammocks, sports equipment…
The outdoor facilities at the back of the garages are shared by both houses.

Where is Casa Gemeos located?
Casa Gemeos is situated on the Silver Coast, 100km above Lisbon, 20km from the popular surfers’ beach Nazaré and 6km from the cultural centre of Alcobaça. It is advisable to book a (rental) car to explore the area. There is limited public transport, but on holiday you prefer to do what you want, don’t you? You can also park your rental car safely and for free within our domain. There is a supermarket within 3km.
What extra services do you offer?
Beds are made and a welcome drink is waiting for you. Only the short (swimming) trousers usually have to be put on. For those who wish, there is also the possibility of breakfast.
Because we, as owners, live at the back of the house, there is direct and personal contact. This does not mean that we do not respect your freedom and privacy.
An advantage is that we are directly approachable in case of questions/remarks. We will be happy to share our favourite restaurants and places with you! For those who are interested, we also organise a cosy pizza night one evening a week.
Is there a washing machine?
No, there is no washing machine in the houses. However, you can use the washing machines available at the Intermarche in Juncal (2,5km). It costs 5euro for 8kg and takes 35min.
Is there heating available?
Especially in the low season and in the evening it cools down in our region. Therefore, we have a pellet stove in the left house, and a wood stove in the right one. All bathrooms have an extra electric fire. Pellets, wood and electricity are included in the rental price!
