Caravan
Cradled in the gentle hills of southwest Portugal, our vintage caravan retreat will leave you immersed in the tranquility of nature, nudging you to leave all the rest behind, just 20 minutes from the spectacular unspoiled beaches of the SW coast.
You’ll Love:
Waking to birdsong
Showering under the sky
Slow al fresco meals
Sleeping in silence, moonlight spilling gently through the windows
Start your morning to the soundtrack of the birdsong in the cork oak trees, take a short drive for a day at the beach before returning home for a warm shower in nature and dinner under the open sky… and don’t forget to cuddle up under the stars after dark.
The open air heated rain shower is just a few meters away, in a private corner sheltered by the trees.
The (also private) outdoor compost toilet is part of our intention to tread lightly—helping conserve precious water and return nutrients to the land.
We’re fully off-grid here, drawing our water gently from our own lake source, so we ask guests to join us in being mindful with water use.
Every drop is part of a delicate balance.
