The Da Silva Surfcamp is a typical Portuguese country house in a quiet location with a wonderful view over the countryside to the sea. Twice a day a shepherd with his flock of sheep passes by here, in the morning one is woken up by the crows of a rooster and otherwise one only hears the birds chirping. To the beach one walks in 20 minutes, with the Beachcruiser, which can be rented for free, it only takes 10 minutes.
Description:
The terrace room is located on the first floor of our main house above the fireplace room. The room has a loft bed with a double mattress. Below there is a WC with washbasin and a small table where you can play cards. In the front part of the room there is a cosy sitting area. The sofa can be folded into a comfortable double bed, making the room suitable for two couples or a couple with two children. But the highlight is undoubtedly the big sun terrace (partly roofed) from which one has a great view over the wide landscape up to the Atlantic Ocean. The terrace can also be reached via an outside staircase (from the inner courtyard). Therefore, sometimes other guests sunbathe there, but in the evening we ask you to keep the night's rest. Showers can be taken in the shared bathroom on the ground floor or in the (warm) outdoor shower around the corner. Breakfast included.
The da Silva Surfcamp is just right for people who want to relax and escape the stress of the big city. It is ideal for families with children. Around the house there is mainly a lot of rustic nature. You can take wonderful walks along the country lanes. On the other side of the valley is the typical farming village "Zambujeira". There is nothing but a small café and a mini grocery shop. However, a visit is worthwhile anyway, as it is really still very original there. Once a year, sometime in August, there is a big village festival for which even the great-grandmothers dress up again. If you want to go out in the evening, you have to go to Praia da Areia Branca or Peniche, but we take you there with our shuttle bus. So you don't have to worry, you won't get bored.
Surroundings:
In the immediate vicinity of Casal da Murta is Praia da Areia Branca, a typical bathing resort of the Portuguese.
Fortunately, there are only very few hotels or holiday resorts here, but in August there is still a lot of activity on the beach, as many Portuguese from the surrounding area come for a swim. There is a lifeguard looking to the right and hundreds of typical beach tents that can be rented for a small fee. Some parts of the beach are guarded by professional lifeguards in summer. Those who want to escape from this hustle and bustle only have to walk one or two bays along the beach and already they have a bay to themselves again. In Praia da Areia Branca there is a beautiful beach promenade with many small cafés and good restaurants. The place is especially suitable for families with young children, as there is a very nice and manageable nightlife and the contact to the locals is very easy. The express bus between Peniche and Lisbon stops almost every hour in this place. The county town Lourinhã with big supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, health centre, pharmacies, post office and bank is only 3 km away. Praia da Areia Branca is only 15 km south of the port city of Peniche, whose beaches are the best surfing area in Europe. The waves of the legendary surf spots Supertubos or Lagido are ridden by surfers from all over the world. Our shuttle bus will take you to the best waves and most beautiful beaches in the area. Some of the nearby bays are so-called Secret Spots, the location of which is reluctantly revealed by the locals (local surfers).
Location and arrival:
The surf camp is located 65 km north of Lisbon.
The journey from Lisbon airport to us is very easy! There is a shuttle bus to the bus station and from there an express bus that stops directly at our place. We will pick you up at the bus stop and bring you directly to our surf camp. We also pick you up at the airport in Lisbon or take you there. This makes sense especially if your flight takes place outside the travel times of the express bus. Prices on request. We offer a daily shuttle to the nearest supermarket and of course to the beach. Bicycles can be rented free of charge. So you are quite mobile even without your own car.
