Vale da Silva Villas

We had our wedding here, and it was perfect. There’s loads of space, gorgeous gardens, and charming animals around the property. The host was so friendly and helpful. If you’re coming in summer, bring mosquito spray, since they can get pretty lively then.

The place was even lovelier than the photos suggest. We adored the cute accommodation and its great atmosphere, and the animals made it extra special. Lots of love to the baby goat who kept following us around for pets 😅 100% recommend!

This hidden gem was the highlight of our holiday. Isabel was wonderful, so generous, and had everything organised perfectly from beginning to end. We absolutely loved our stay 😍

We bought groceries and had a homemade breakfast in our tree house, then spent time with the animals. There was also time for sunbathing and table football before dinner at Isabel’s restaurant, which is more of a cozy room. Isabel’s husband is a great cook. I’m lactose intolerant, but the cod with cream he made caused me no issues at all. The menu is fixed, so everyone gets the same meal, but the portions are generous and the prices fair. Our tree house was rustic in the sense that you have what you need, as long as you can adapt. Still, the bed was super comfy. To my partner’s surprise, there weren’t any flies or mosquitos, and we slept like babies. Isabel was also kind enough to let us check in two hours early. We had a blast. It was a one-of-a-kind first for my partner and me, and we’ll definitely sleep in a tree house again. This place feels like a little bit of heaven in an area that otherwise seems fairly poor and “forgotten.” Highly recommended, but book ahead and expect to spend a bit more than you would for a standard Airbnb. You don’t get to sleep in a tree house every day!
