What is a lodge?
According to Wikipedia a lodge is a building for recreational use. That's quite a flexible definition. We prefer to use the term 'lodge' because 'tent' does not do our lodges justice. Our lodges are basically log cabins with canvas outside walls, and have a bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen, living and veranda.
Is Silver Coast Glamping quietly located?
It is wonderfully quiet here, Silver Coast Glamping is located in the Portuguese countryside, just outside a small village, in a quiet area. But certainly not in the "middle of nowhere"! For example, it is a few minutes' drive to the main road, and 10 minutes to the beach.
Of course sometimes a tractor is driving by, or a dog is barking, that's part of country life. And if you are a super light sleeper, do ask about our 'countryside silencers'!
Is there an airco or heater?
There is no airco available, but all windows (with screen mesh) can be opened. If it is a bit cooler in the evening in the early or late season, we can install an electric heater. The extra electricity costs will be settled after your stay.
Can we bring our cat or dog?
Sorry, pets are not allowed.
Can we come for a stay with our caravan or campervan?
No, Silver Coast Glamping is not a campingsite, we only rent out our 3 luxury lodges.
Can I take an option?
Outside the high season and during school holidays, we can sometimes offer a short option period. Unfortunately not during the busier periods.
