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.
The Magic of Alpedriz & Surrounding Nature
Alpedriz offers an immersive look into rural Central Portugal. Life here moves to a gentle rhythm dictated by nature:
Ancient Waterways & Wells: Our land is nourished by a small river and a traditional Portuguese well (poço), keeping our olive trees and fruit orchards thriving throughout the year.

After a day of exploring UNESCO monuments or watching surf breaks on the coast, returning to Alpedriz feels like stepping into a private sanctuary.
Our luxury glamping dome accommodates up to five guests, offering a private master bedroom, a cozy mezzanine, a full bathroom, and a hot tub for relaxing under the clear night sky. Guests also enjoy full access to our outdoor swimming pool, fruit orchards, and wide-open spaces.
Whether you are enjoying fresh morning air by the farm’s stream or unwinding in the hot bathtub after a day trip to Nazaré, Alpedriz provides the slow-travel experience Portugal is famous for.
