Just one hour from Lisbon, lies this amazing nature reserve Casas Na Areia. It consists of four stone cottages, each upgraded by adding a local wood and other materials furnished in an elegant minimalist style.

Interesting is the flooring – it is actually sand, which notes that a five minute drive away sea.

If you need a break, this is the place for you! Pine forest, river dolphins, sometimes even flamingos. If that is not enough – there is a pool and a terrace with sun beds and bicycles available to explore this picturesque area.
