A perfect holiday getaway
We enjoyed so much staying in this beautiful house with private swimming pool. The place is surrounded by tranquil nature but the town is very close by and the closest shop and restaurant are in a walking distance. The hosts were really nice and helpful and provided us everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Everthing is also very clean and well organized. The atmosphere in this place is unique. We would love to go again.

Peaceful and Relaxing
The hosts Mark and Lerryn are great hosts. Very attentive. Casa Lerryn is a lovely place to spend a relaxing week. The most noise we could hear are the crickets chirping in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay. The pool area is a real sun trap and a great place to get a tan. Thank you Mark and Lerryn for letting us stay in your Casa.

Wonderful, quiet, peaceful paradise in the middle of nature
We had a wonderful stay. Casa Lerryn is a wonderful little paradise in the middle of nature. You can relax in and around the pool or at the other seating areas. There are many birds, butterflies, some frogs and we also saw two deer. It is a quiet place to come to rest and become one with yourself and nature. In the garden we play badminton, football and tennis. Everything is already in place for each sport. Lerryn and Mark are wonderful hosts. They are always there if there is a question and have good tips for excursions. With a rental car, you can explore a lot of the surrounding area. Tomar, Coimbra, the N2 route and more. We also visited Lisbon and Porto, which are only two hours away. Serta is a nice little town, good supermarkets and bars. Beautifully situated by the river. We will be back, that's for sure. Thank you very much to Lerryn and Mark!

Highly recommended, beautiful location, peaceful.
Thank you to Mark and Lerryn. This is a really beautiful property, in a wonderful location. I booked it based on previous reviews. Waking up to the sound of bird song is wonderfully peaceful. We have walked and canoed and felt at one with nature. The coast is just over an hour away. The pond in the garden is home to water voles, lovely watching the adults and their young come out to feed. Frog made me jump one nightr! We have returned really refreshed. There are some lovely traditional restaurants in the area, which are very reasonably priced, and the food is wonderfully traditional. The house and the pool are immaculately maintained, and Mark and Lerryn are on hand and are very responsive. We would thoroughly recommend, and will return.

Lovely relaxing holiday
We had a lovely relaxing week at Casa Lerryn, it is in a lovely quiet area in the countryside but only a 5 minute drive into Serta. The villa was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with great outdoor spaces including a lovely barbeque area. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor games available to entertain young children. Lerryn and Mark were great hosts, they provided lots of information and advice on places to go to and things to do. We had a lovely week at Casa Lerryn.

Idyllisch
Die Casa Lerryn liegt am Ortsrand, wunderbar ruhig mit Vogelgezwitscher und dem Rauschen der Bäume. Uns haben die verschiedenen Aussenräume sehr gut gefallen: der private Pool-Bereich, die gedeckte Sitzecke vor dem Haus (Ende Okotber mit Decken ausgestattet), die Aussenküche mit Grill. Dazu eine sehr grosszügige Wiese mit verschiedenen Zonen zum Spielen, zum Sitzen, und vielen Blumen. Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet und bietet auch in kühleren Tagen eine angenehme Unterkunft. Für uns war die Region Sertà bisher unbekannt. Wir waren überrascht, wie viel die Region zu bieten hat. Die umgebenden Hügel mit den Wandermöglichkeiten, die Flussbäder, die unzähligen hervorragenden und preiswerten Restaurants und selbstverständlich Städte wie Tomar oder Coimbra, welche mit dem Auto in ca. 1 Std. zu erreichen sind. Lerryn und Mark waren als Ansprechspersonen stets präsent und haben uns herzlich in Empfang genommen. Herzlichen Dank Euch beiden.

Wunderschön, ruhig gelegen und gemütlich
Wir hatten wunderschöne, entspannte 6 Nächte im September in der Casa Lerryn. Wurden zu Beginn super nett von Lerryn und Mark empfangen. Die Kommunikation war von Anfang an sehr gut und unkompliziert. Die Casa selbst ist total gemütlich, sodass man es sich auch an kälteren Tagen drinnen gemütlich machen kann. Der Außenbereich ist ebenfalls ein Traum. Der Pool ist kristallklar (dank Mark, der sich morgens drum kümmert), die Außenküche und verschiedene Sitzmöglichkeiten laden zum verweilen ein und im Garten kann man sich etwas im Schatten aufhalten oder eine Runde Federball spielen :). Mir hat auch die tolle, detaillgetreue Dekoration total gut gefallen. Man merkt, dass Lerryn und Mark auch ihren Gästen für die Urlaubszeit ein kleines Zuhause schaffen wollen. Also, wer Ruhe mag ist hier absolut richtig!! Wir kommen gerne wieder. Großer Dank an Lerryn und Mark! Svenja & Stefan

Fabulous family holiday
This was our first visit to Portugal and it didn’t disappoint. Casa Lerryn was the perfect location for our family holiday. The property was clean, well equipped and modern. Our girls loved the pool that Mark maintains to such a high standard. The outdoor spaces were all lovely, we made good use of the BBQ and kitchen. The location was perfect for us, quiet and relaxing surrounded by nature but only a 5 minute drive from Serta with it’s great selection of shops and restaurants. There were lots of things to see and do within the area. We didn’t manage to visit everything, we might have to go back one day! Lerryn and Mark were super hosts. They are always on hand with some helpful suggestions for days out etc but never intrusive. If you fancy a holiday away from the masses and a bit of adventure I can’t recommend this area and property strongly enough. We have come home relaxed and rejuvenated. We all agree this was the best family holiday we have taken.

Ideal para descansar
Foi uma experiência maravilhosa. Procurávamos o local ideal para descansar, num local sossegado, mas com todas as comodidades. A casa estava completamente preparada para receber a nossa família. Apreciamos o facto de terem todos os apetrechos necessários para fazer churrasco (incluindo carvão e pinhas), detergentes para a loiça e roupa (o que ajuda para grandes estadias ou para quem não viaja de carro), a existência de toalhas de praia, insufláveis e várias espreguiçadeiras junto da piscina. A casa era acolhedora, muito limpa e cuidada, com tudo para o nosso conforto. O nosso anfitrião (Mark) todos os dias de manhã bem cedo limpava a piscina e cuidava do espaço exterior. Sabendo que tínhamos uma criança pequena foram colocando novos brinquedos no jardim, como o cavalinho de baloiço e um jogo de argola. Recomendamos e esperamos lá voltar com amigos, pois a casa comporta bem 2 casais com filhos ou até 3 casais. Um muito obrigada à Lerryn e ao Mark.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Bry

Host profile image
In the Uk we ran music stores,selling CDs and musical instruments. In the 80s & 90s the music business was vibrant,fast moving and fun. Later in life we worked in social care.With our savings we decided to embark on a new,exciting adventure in Portugal.Lerryn and I moved to the beautiful central region of Portugal in 2015.
We began renovating an old farm ,completing Casa Lerryn in 2016.The Portuguese life is slow,friendly and embraces fresh food,excellent wine and wonderful,welcoming locals. We love the wild birds living in our valley, they have thrived since we created a perfect environment in and around our meadow.
Having so many historical places of interest, river beaches , pine covered rolling hills and affordable living offers us and our guests so much. Medieval towns and cities including Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, Aveiro, Viseu, and Castelo Branco each have their own individual characteristics. There is always something unexpected to discover. Our smaller towns cater to summer visitors using themes linked to their history and specialities. We found the Festa dos Tabuleiros in Tomar an amazing event full of colour and artistic skills. Their medieval festival showcases horsemanship, music and plain good fun ! Coimbra university gardens include ancient trees and tropical plants, originally used for medicinal science but now lovingly maintained in stunning formal gardens. Coimbras university city caters to all ages, offering trendy eateries and eclectic shops. The Jardim Do Paco Episcopal gardens in Castelo Branco with their mazes ,tiles and ancient statues guarantee great photo shots. We always enjoy our visits to Aveiro and our guests have too! The town celebrates its art deco architecture and proud history of fishing. The canal boat rides are fun, and even better, finding atmospheric fish restaurants by the waters edge. Our guests have made the worthwhile trip to the Atlantic coast on many occasions, they love surfing, quiet beaches and nature at its best.

Why they chose this property

Sertá is an undiscovered region,offering a retreat from the hustle and bustle of busy lives.
We fell in love with Sertá because the pace of life is slow,but enriched with a passion for good food,wine,and friendly people.
The town is picturesque, the large river dominates the centre of town and pine covered rolling hills surround Serta.
We have some of the best restaurants in the area and Serta has a famous dish, Maranho & Bucho,which is celebrated throughout the country.
