What makes our location unique?
Each house has spectacular views of the river and Amoreira beach. At Amoreira beach, there is a beach restaurant. The river is calm and flanked by sand which makes it ideal for families with children. At low tide, you can cross the river back to your villa (plan on getting your feet wet though) via a restaurant perched on the cliff.
The National park comes with a wide range of hiking routes, horse trails, beautiful secluded beaches, cliffs and magic restaurants for which we publish recommendations in our guidebook. Bespoke surf tours can be arranged depending on your ability.
Aljezur has a charming historical section and castle which is great for a little walk to soak up the atmosphere and numerous dining options. On the other side of a small dividing river, you will find many amenities such as a pharmacy, car repair, banks,, shops, supermarkets, weekly markets and more dining options.
Another nearby place worth visiting is Arrifana with a spectacular surf beach and numerous bars and restaurants. During winter time with the bigger swells (and when the waves may be too big to surf at Monte Clerigo) this is the safest and most consistent area to surf - particularly in low tide. In between Arrifana and Monte Clerigo we find Val De Telha with the local Hugos bar and other cosy bars and restaurants. When venturing a bit further north set course for Rogil has a nice bakery and access to a number of stunning beaches. Further north stop to visit various seaside towns such as Odeceixe and Zambujeria do Mar, or visit the vineyards nearby.
Driving along the coast to Sagres, visitors can visit dozens of beautiful beaches and visit small seaside towns like Carrapteia (Borderia) which come with their own stunning beaches and cliff views.
We are only a 30 minute drive from Lagos and Sagres, one hour and 15 minutes from Faro airport and 2 hours 45 minutes from Lisbon.
