Who we are

We are Winy and Wouter. In 2025 we opened Vivenda A Nossa Coroa: three bungalows, a swimming pool, a hot tub and a lush garden at the foot of the Serra do Açor. It is a place where we welcome guests the way we welcome friends, and where we share our knowledge and love of Portugal with you. We live close to the bungalows, so if you need anything, someone is always nearby.
Welcome to our place, welcome home.

How we got here

In 1999 we moved to Portugal with two small children. We were drawn by the lovely climate, the beautiful countryside, the relaxed way of life and, not least, the friendly people. Arganil became our new home.

Walking in the nature reserve

Winy is a certified walking guide and knows (almost) all the footpaths and beautiful spots in the area. She has mapped out dozens of routes in the Serra do Açor nature reserve, from a gentle morning stroll to longer walks for experienced walkers. You can find all the routes on our Wikiloc page, and several of them start right from your holiday bungalow.
