Paulo is an excellent host and wonderful communicator, which was really appreciated. The views over the lake are incredible, and would be very inviting in summertime with a quick walk to the lake to cool off. It is very peaceful and centrally located for touring around the area.
Great place for relaxing weekends in the nature!
A villa e magnífica, muito bem equipada e com uma vista incrível sobre o lago. O Paulo foi sempre disponível e nos permitiu fazer o check-out mais tarde, o que foi muito apreciado. Uma experiência excelente!
I stayed for a couple of nights in January and can say that this is going to be one of the best memories of my life - location is perfect, the house is unreal, the whole experience was just as a dream (except it was real). Thanks Paulo for being such a great host and allowing us to enjoy your house! I hope to visit again in the summer
We had a great time staying with Paulo and Paula, the house is well arranged. The environment is sublime with a breathtaking lake view. I highly recommend it.
Ah Lago Azul! What an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place. The Blue Lake House was the perfect getaway. All the amenities, (plus a sauna and heavy bag), super peaceful, warm and comfortable. And dog friendly which is always awesome as our Willow loved the lake and surrounding area. This was one of our most favourite and memorable stays.
It is really good house which so close with lake and you can enjoy beautiful landscape from windows also you can use sauna and swimming pool! Some barbecue station is well! I really appreciate place is allowed dog our trip was really wonderful thanks this place🥰
Paulo was a spectacular host! He promptly responded anytime I had a question. He went over and beyond to help with any and everything I asked! The house was very welcoming and just as described! Beautiful views and peaceful environment! I highly recommend staying at the Blue Lake House if you visit Lago Azul! You won’t be disappointed!!! I can’t wait to visit again!
We had a fantastic stay! The house had an incredible view and was very comfortable for 6. We had a great time barbecuing and eating in the balcony overseeing the lake, as well as sunbathing and swimming in the pool. Paulo was very friendly and responsive, and helped us throughout. Would most definitely return!
Blue Lake House has exceeded all expectations. The location is extraordinary for those who like to spend time in nature. The house is large and is very well equipped with several outdoor areas to enjoy.
The views at this property were outstanding! Paulo was excellent at communicating both information about the house and also the surrounding area. There is lots to do in the area and close enough to Porto for a day trip. I highly recommend.
We had a lovely short stay in Paulo’s place, it’s very lovely peaceful and in beautiful location!
Wonderful house to stay, we really appreciated the tips from paolo, the amazing view, the sauna & also the fireplace. Unfortunately, even though check in is from 14h, they needed some more time to clean - so we came back at 16h. Not a problem, just good to know :) Thanks for the (petfriendly) wonderful stay!
Wow, what a place! Located in the most amazing area, right above the lake with a stunning view. the house is in a quiet area with beautiful nature around. the house itself was well equipped and suited all our needs. we used the sauna and BBQ and just had the best time. we will definitely be back.

Hey there! As a creative director, art enthusiast, and musician, I've always found inspiration in the beauty of Lisbon. But there's something truly special about Castelo de Bode Lake that's been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up, my family and I cherished summers by the lake, a tradition passed down from my mom's roots near Tomar. Since 2018, it's been a joy to open our doors to fellow nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Nestled by one of Portugal's largest and most breathtaking lakes, our little paradise awaits you. Let your adventure begin! Paulo
