The nature house is located right by the sea, on a large piece of land and is part of Arrabida Natural Park. It is built on top of an ancient, horizontally growing Portuguese Pine tree. The sea is a 5-minute walk and in 20 minutes you walk to the beach. The land gives beautiful views of the sea, the lights of Lisbon, Cascais and the mountains of Sintra. The sunsets are unforgettable. In the background you can hear the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. F. Pessoa, the great Portuguese poet, was the inspiration for the treehouse. The 2 skylights, let you enjoy nature even more. The kitchen is simple but has everything to prepare fine meals, including a small refrigerator. The double bed has a good mattress. Your own compost toilet and shower (since March 2025 with hot water!) are among the trees. Outside: table & chairs, hammock and deck chairs. There is a lot of privacy. Eggs from our chickens are for sale! Mosquito net is available but rarely needed.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house surrounded by 6 acres of farmland, is located in rugged nature. We live on the land together with 4 dogs and 5 cats. The coast consists of high rocks interspersed with sandy beaches. Praia das Bicas is known for its beneficial mud. The beaches are very quiet by our standards. There are many hiking opportunities. The bird lover and (wind-)surfer comes into his own at Lago Albufeira. Cabo Espichel has a beautiful 17th century church with adjacent pilgrims' quarters. Climbing is possible in this area (well-maintained routes). In the village there is a mini-mercado, a bakery, a restaurant and a coffee shop. Sesimbra is the neighboring town with a castle, promenade, eateries, small harbor and beach. The sea is calmer here, you can canoe and dive. A short drive away is Park Arrabida with its monastery and the harbor Portinho da Arrabida, where you can eat on the waterfront.

    A beautiful little house with all the basic amenities and a super cozy, personal decor.
    The owners, Nuno and Suze, are incredibly kind and warm people.
    Highly recommended for anyone who loves peace, space, and nature.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Fantastic surroundings! We had an absolutely wonderful time! Ocean views with a beautiful sunset, pine trees providing plenty of shade. Lots of unspoiled nature—a treat for both body and mind. We completely unwound in the silence. It’s also great to hike along the steep cliffs and through the deep valleys.

    We had a wonderful week here. We immediately felt at home and were warmly welcomed by Nuno and Suze. The cottage is super nice and has everything you need. The surrounding nature is just a dream. Perfect for hiking or just being on the beach and watching the sea. At night you can see an incredible starry sky. It's great! We didn't want to leave.
