While Caratão is peacefully off the beaten track, within a short drive are the delightful old towns of Gois - famed for its river bathing - and Arganil - with a good range of shops and many other attractions. Walking, horse riding and canoeing are just some of the activities open to you.
Further afield is Coimbra, a former Portuguese capital and still its leading university city - a place of unique charm with a wide range of places to see, good shops, restaurants and cinemas.
The whole district is packed with historic towns and villages, reached via journeys of dramatic beauty.
