Mountainside site near the city of Fundão
Spectacular views of Cova da Beira and the Serra da Estrela
Pool, play area, communal barbecues and restaurant with balcony

Ah, Portugal... a mighty pretty place with a mighty amount of stuff to see and do. As is most certainly the case at mightily scenic Parque de Campismo Quinta do Convento in Fundão... it's surrounded by lush green groves and has spectacular views of Cova da Beira and the Serra da Estrela. Wildlife watching, hiking are top picks here: the site's nearby city of Fundão (five minutes' drive away) is south of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, the biggest natural conservation area in Portugal. Skiing's a swish option too at the Serra da Estrela just under an hour's drive north, and around 250 kilometres of marked trails meander around nearby mountain bike centre for cycling. Bikes can be hired on site. Parque de Campismo Quinta do Convento is on the foothills of Monte de São Brás in the Gardunha mountain range. Make the site restaurant with balcony a very early aim, for alfresco eating among this splendid scenery, or sizzle up supper at one of the communal barbecues with foodie supplies from the Parque de Campismo Quinta do Convento supermarket or from the shops in Fundão. Lots of lounging around should be done while on site too, at the outdoor pool or around the grounds while the kids burn off energy at the playground. A games room and TV room are indoors, and the site has free wifi.

Local attractions

An adventure park with tree climbing circuits is nearby, along with a climbing wall, mountain biking trail and a mountain bike centre. For walks, try the (fairly tough) historical route of Alpedrinha-Castelo Novo or have an even headier time hiking the peaks of the Serra da Gardunha. Otters, wildcats, badgers and bullfinches are among the species to spot at the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, home to Portugal's biggest mountain range. For sightseeing, drive about half an hour north east of the site to the Serra da Estrela's highest peak Torre: if you've been hiking or climbing so far, you might be chuffed to hear that the summit can be reached by car via Regional Road 339... Nearby Fundão has enough to do to keep all tastes occupied, such as the José Monteiro archaelogical museum and its collections covering millennia of human history in the region, or the plays, concerts and exhibitions of A Moagem. Just outside town and 20 minutes' drive from the site is Castelo Novo, one of the 12 Historic Villages of Portugal.
