Welcome to a place that's got big, ambitious plans for the future… Casas do Bosque Valmaior is on a peaceful parcel of land planted with all sorts of varieties of fruit trees, a 10-minute drive from the parish of Valmaior. The family-friendly site has heaps to commend it – even in its self-confessed ‘ongoing project’ state – starting with its location, amid forested hills and terraced vineyards. You’ll have access to a sheltered area with multiple barbecues, plus plenty of firewood, a sink for washing up and picnic tables. While you’re busy grilling your meal, the kids can blow off some steam in the playground. For everyone’s safety, the site is monitored by surveillance cameras, and there are also amenities such as showers, water and electricity, along with facilities for disabled guests. Ready to explore the area? You might want to start by heading towards the Vouga river (10 minutes’ drive), where the Foz do Rio Mau scenic point marks the start of the Ecopista do Vouga cycle path. Skirting the water, you can pedal through woodland all the way to Praia Fluvial Quinta do Barco (half an hour by bike), where you can stop for a refreshing swim or hire a canoe or paddleboard. There’s more swimming at Fluvial do Alfusqueiro beach (half an hour’s drive) or, if you’d rather hike, you can head to the Parque das Minas do Braçal (half an hour), where forested trails lead past the remains of former mining structures. Several dramatic waterfalls, including Cascata da Fílveda, can also be reached within a 40-minute drive.

Local attractions

There’s lots to do in the city of Aveiro (half an hour’s drive), from surfing at its sandy Atlantic beaches to birdwatching among the dunes at the Reserva Natural das Dunas de São Jacinto, where you might spot woodpeckers, blue tits and lots of types of waders. Also worth a visit are the Salinas de Aveiro salt ponds and museums like Museu Marítimo de Ílhavo e Aquário dos Bacalhaus, exploring the area’s maritime heritage. Deep into the forest, Poço Azul (50 minutes) is a natural pool at the bottom of a small waterfall. You can take a dip in the crystal-clear waters here or hike around the area, keeping an eye out for colourful butterflies and blackbirds. If you’re into classic cars and motorbikes, you might want to visit the Museu do Caramulo (50 minutes) and take a guided tour through its ever-changing display of vintage vehicles, from a Ford Model T to Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis.
