  • Sustainable, eco-friendly stays on a small farm in Casal dos Feros
  • Santa Cruz beach 10 minutes away by bike; an hour's drive to Lisbon
  • Plunge pool and kitchen on site, plus organic garden for guest use
Holidays by the sea are a pretty surefire way to boost your happiness – and there’s an added feelgood factor for those staying at Lugar Do Sol, a peaceful rural spot in Casal dos Feros, just under two kilometres from Santa Cruz beach. Stays here are in a natural retreat that provides a peaceful haven on a small farm well away from the noise of the resort (and yet within easy walking/biking distance of the sands). The place is set up according to ecological, sustainable and self-sufficient practices – water comes from a well, energy is generated through solar panels and food is harvested from the organic garden. Guests are welcome to help themselves to a little bit of whatever’s available in the garden and take it over to the covered outdoor kitchen, which has an oven, a hob and plenty of other bits and bobs for cooking (along with a table for eating your meals). There are plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants for other ingredients, or times when you’d prefer to eat out. Compost toilets, solar-heated showers, a washing-up area and recycling facilities are also available for guests – and, for a little downtime on site, there’s also a plunge pool, a small play area and hammocks hung among the trees for a lovely shaded siesta.

Liked: Bonito sitio campestre donde relajarse y conocer la actividad de campo dentro un aérea cerrada. Trato maravilloso con los huéspedes, amabilidad y buen rollo. Nuno es un anfitrión estupendo, con muchas ideas de conseguir un entorno magnífico con materiales reciclados... te ofrece todo lo que tienen allí. Aparte de pasar un buen rato de charla, te da a degustar todo lo que elaboran y tienen en el huerto. Un lugar sostenible como meta el reciclaje. Único a mejorar para mí el inodoro seco.... Pero hablamos de un lugar sostenible. Muy recomendable en todos los aspectos... Conocerlo!!!!! Fuimos en una Camper y nos sentimos como en casa y pudimos descansar sin ruidos perfectamente.

Unpowered grass and sand tent site

Liked: Niets m, lijkt wel een perceel voor hippies. Nog geen gesloten douche en deftig toilet ziet er uit als een toilet van de tijd dat de boeren nog op de plank gingen. Alles onverzorgd.

Disliked: We hadden de tent opgezet en moesten afrekenen maar dit kon niet via kaart dus wij naar de automaat. Daar alles echt versleten is had mijn partner het versleten hekken per ongeluk uit de verroeste scharnieren getrokken. Mijn partner is Engelstalig en de eigenaar kwam als een razende terug toen we terug waren. Het was volop aan het regenen dus bleven we in de auto zitten. En mijn partner zei gewoon sorry my bad… een poort zoals dat zie je nergens. En we vlogen van de camping terwijl het eigenlijk niet nodig was want door de regen bleven we in de auto. Niet aan te raden tenzij je op een onverzorgd perceel wilt staan met nog geen deftige douche of toilet. Het ergste we vlogen weg voor niets en kregen onze voorschot niet terug. Helemaal niet aan te raden een plaats voor mislukkingen.

Liked: Please try the campsite before you leave a review, this place was a breath of fresh air. If you are having trouble finding the site, just put in the directions that come with the email pitch up provides into Google maps, it will take you straight there. No signage but it is the right place. Loved the following: Campfires People Dogs Size of pitch Environment Would recommend to anyone who wants a real camping experience. But the facilities are all there and you are more than welcome to use what you see. Only problem was we had to leave before saying goodbye properly. Goodbye all

Disliked: The misleading bad reviews

Liked: We were welcomed by 3 friendly dogs and shown around by Nuno's lovely mum. Although she couldn't speak English and we couldn't speak Portuguese, we were able to understand her hand signals! We were made to feel at home. All of the facilities were spotless. The kitchen had everything you needed. The compost toilet was clean and didn't smell. Showering under the stars was unforgettable. Nuno's girlfriend makes her own natural wash products which were available to use. They were so great, I bought some before leaving. Everything you see is made thoughtfully from reusable materials. 20 min walk into Santa Cruz.

Disliked: Nothing, it was perfect ❤️

Local attractions

Presumably you’ve primarily chosen this area for its beaches? That’s fair enough, given that this stretch of coast has some fabulous ones to choose from. The nearest is Praia de Santa Cruz, about a 10-minute bike ride/25-minute walk from the site. The long sandy stretch is great for strolls, sunbathing and surfing (there’s a surf school in town) but the waves might be a bit too much for many swimmers. If it’s calmer waters you're after, head a little way north to Praia de Porto Novo (10 minutes’ drive/20 minutes’ cycle), which is a more sheltered spot for swims, paddleboarding and canoeing. If, on the other hand, you’re more in search of an adrenaline hit, you can have a go at paragliding over the cliffs at Praia de Santa Rita (10 minutes’ drive/20 minutes’ cycle) or try flying a plane from Aérodromo de Santa Cruz (five minutes’ drive or cycle ride). To expand your horizons a little further, it’s certainly possible to sort day trips to places like Sintra and Lisbon (both an hour's drive away), visit the castle and churches of medieval Óbidos (45 minutes) or take tours of the area’s wineries (several within a half-hour drive).
