You will camp at the Quinta das Corujas, the owl farm. The place is surrounded by flowery gardens with olives and a stone's throw from the river. The surrounding grounds are 3 acres and consist mainly of olive groves where there are also a few other cottages. On and around the property there is ample opportunity for rest and entertainment: a hammock among the olive trees, the bank of the Rio do Mondego for cooling, suitable for swimming. This oasis of peace in the protected natural area of Serra da Estrela offers the opportunity to enjoy to the fullest in a beautiful landscape. The area is not only very suitable for hiking enthusiasts; there is also plenty to do for swimmers, bon vivants and doers. Bring your own tent and camping gear and enjoy this beautiful place! You may use the covered outdoor kitchen, bbq, shared toilets and shower. The camping spot itself does not have electricity, but the outdoor kitchen does.

The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is the largest protected area in Portugal and is located in the central massive mountain region, on a plateau that slopes slightly to the northeast. The mountains here are separated by river valleys. Among others, the Mondego and Zêzere rivers originate here. The quinta is located on the Caminho de Santiago pilgrimage route. The breathtaking small-scale cultural landscape alternates with vistas and rugged nature in the valley of the Mondego. For the experienced hiker there is the trek to the top of the Tentinolho (950 meters) from the nature house. The less experienced hiker can walk from the farmhouse, parallel to the Rio do Mondego river, through the valley to the Mizarella and Pero Soares. We advise you to come by car because the farm is remote. The nearest supermarket is 25 min drive. Don't have a car? Then take the cab that will drop you off at the traffic circle near the quinta. From there it is a 10 min walk.
