Casa dos Livros is located in Vila Nova de Tazem in the municipality of Gouveia. Located in the district of Guarda (Center Region), Gouveia has neighboring municipalities Fornos de Algodres, Celorico da Beira, Guarda, Manteigas, Seia and Mangualde, the latter belonging to the district of Viseu. Integrated in the province of Beira Alta, Gouveia is on the northwest slope of Serra da Estrela, the largest mountain system in continental Portugal. Clearly an agricultural region, at the end of the century. XIX Gouveia was the sixth largest industrial center in Portugal. Currently, the region preserves its picturesque character and has been promoting tourism, promoting the region's peaceful rurality as a tourist attraction.
Crossed by the Mondego River and with slopes and plains, the municipality presents a diverse natural landscape with countless corners to discover. Biodiversity allows the observation of local fauna and flora, and the existence of parks and gardens enhances activity and the enjoyment of proximity to pure nature. The Gouveia Ecological Park, the UNESCO World Geopark Star and the Vale do Rossim Dam stand out as maximum exponents of local nature preservation. The best way to absorb nature is with your backpack on your back and your feet on the way. The integration of different landscapes allowed the creation of trails, routes and routes through the City Council that are possible to explore on foot or by bicycle, and showcase the best natural and scenic corners of the municipality, including the Rota dos Galhardos, the Rota dos Paths of Faith, the Vergiliana Route or the Vale da Cadela Route. The natural heritage can also be observed from the tops of the mountains and viewpoints, natural or built, that are found throughout the municipality, such as the viewpoints with panoramic views of Paixotão, Folgosinho and Monte Calvário. The cuts of rivers and mountains gave rise to natural wells and river beaches in Ribamondego, Vale do Rossim or Covão da Ponte.
The Serra da Estrela Natural Park was the first natural park to be created in Portugal, comprising a succession of plateaus that extend from Guarda, in the northeast, to the foothills of the Serra do Açor, in the southwest. The park covers 101 thousand hectares, spread across six municipalities (Gouveia, Seia, Manteigas, Celorico da Beira, Guarda and Covilhã), making it the largest protected area in Portugal. It is in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park that the highest point on the Portuguese mainland is located at 1993 meters above sea level – the Tower. Its landscape is characterized by granite and schist rock, high-altitude pastures, native forests made of oak and castinçais, numerous traces of the last glaciation, lagoons, peat bogs and the sources of three important national rivers: Mondego, Alva and Zêzere.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
