    Amazing breakfast. I was with kids and they simply love everything. Very peaceful, surround by the beautiful alentejana planice. Amazing to wake in the tree house and watch the sun rise.

    Fantastic hosting Luis and all family were super welcome. It exceeded our expectations for a tent stay, the weather upon arrival was not the best but the tent was extremely comfortable. It was wonderful to wake up by the sounds of the...

    The whole experience: the goats, the breakfast, the nature. People are friendly and helpful. The sheets, towels, and bathroom are great and clean (bear in mind the bathroom is rustic).

Company info

It is a small, cozy area, where you can live simply yet comfortably in a beautiful tipi or bring your own tent. Leave your daily life behind and enjoy the perfect peace of the area, climb the tree house to stare at the countryside or take part in the daily life of the farm. Your neighbours on the surrounding pastures will be the curious flock of goats and the small family of pigs relaxing in the sun or taking baths in their own pond. You can enjoy the small beaches of the Montargil lake nearby or water sport activities, take endless walks in nature, cycle the dirt roads or stay on the farm watching the animals, being alone by our two small ponds or just doing nothing. It’s time to relax, take it easy and let the nature do its magic!

Property info

Once upon a time… … in beautiful Portuguese Alentejo … in one of the sunniest spots in Europe … in a wild area away from big cities … in a small village by the Montargil lake … on a traditional farm, quiet yet full of life … there was a piece of land with a soul. We fell in love with it and wanted other people to experience the blissful atmosphere as well. This way our campsite was born.

Neighborhood info

We are located in a riverside village, near the Lake Montargil. Here we have "endless" sandy beaches where you can bathe with all the privacy, away from the large population clusters. We are only an hour's drive from Evora, a World Heritage city. The Portuguese capital, Lisbon, is an hour and a half away.
