Why Alpedriz is the Silver Coast’s Best Kept Secret for a Farmstay Escape

Alpedriz

Tucked Away Between the Pines and the Ocean

When travelers think of Portugal’s Silver Coast, they often picture the colossal giant waves of Nazaré or the towering medieval walls of the Alcobaça Monastery. Yet, just minutes away from these world-renowned landmarks lies a tranquil countryside haven: Alpedriz.

Located in the municipality of Alcobaça and close to the pine forests of Pataias, Alpedriz offers the rare balance of rural peace and immediate access to the ocean. It is here, nestled in this green landscape, that our 5-hectare family farm and glamping dome welcome guests seeking an authentic Portuguese retreat.
