🏡 Nestled between the countryside and the sea, just a 6-minute drive from Mafra and 8 minutes from 🌊 Ericeira, 🌿 Refúgio da Alma is a traditional house that seamlessly blends comfort with nature. An ideal retreat for solo travelers seeking inspiration, as well as couples or small families looking for tranquility. ☀️ In summer, the private patio and barbecue area are perfect for outdoor living; in 🔥 winter, the fireplace creates a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. A versatile space offering the perfect balance between cultural heritage, relaxation, and proximity to the coast.

🤍 YOUR STAY: We aim to provide a peaceful and comfortable stay, always respecting our guests’ privacy. To help you make the most of the region, you will find a welcome book in the house with useful information about the property, recommendations for restaurants, beaches and places to visit, as well as important contacts. We value a relaxed and independent stay, allowing you to enjoy Refúgio da Alma at your own pace. However, we will always be available should you have any questions related to your stay. Our goal is for you to truly feel at home and enjoy this retreat with complete peace of mind.

🗺️ EXPLORING THE REGION: The location is perfect for balancing relaxation with cultural discovery. The bus stop right next to the house makes getting around effortless. Within minutes, you can reach the Mafra National Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) or the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve, famous for its beaches and fresh seafood. For day trips, access to Lisbon is quick and direct—the capital is just a 30 to 35-minute drive away, while the mystical town of Sintra is also a brief 30 minutes away. In the house, you will find our welcome book with detailed recommendations to make the most of your stay. 🌿 THE VILLAGE RHYTHM: Here, the days move at a different pace. The house is set in an authentic rural area, where the peacefulness of nature blends with the natural sounds of the countryside: birdsong, the peacocks nearby and, occasionally, sounds coming from neighbouring properties. It is the ideal setting for those looking to slow down, disconnect from the rhythm of the city and enjoy a simple, genuine experience close to nature. 🍂 CLIMATE AND COZINESS: Due to our proximity to the ocean, the climate can be cooler and more humid during the winter months, which is typical for coastal areas nestled between the countryside and the sea. For your utmost comfort, the house features a fireplace and heating, creating a warm, cozy sanctuary on cooler days.
