With own or Rental Car

We recommend all our guests to use an own or rental car, in order to be flexible in exploring the unique countryside of Central Portugal. From the airport of Porto, you will reach us after 1,5h of driving, from the airport of Lisbon after approximately 2,5h. The motorways in Portugal are of very good quality, but please note, that you have to pay tolls for their usage. You can pay cash or with bank card (no foreign bank cards accepted) on the control points, or – what is way easier – you get the Via Verde activated by your rental car agency. Choosing this option, you will pay automatically by credit card and don’t have to stop at the control points.
