Come and stay in our romantic Mongolian style yurts, nestled in the mountains of central Portugal, about one hour inland from the ancient university town of Coimbra. Olives, vines and fruit trees surround the yurt; our own spring provides the water; and energy is solar powered. Whether you’re looking for a lazy rural retreat, or an active holiday in the hills, there’s no better way to get back to nature without foregoing any creature comforts.

You don't want to come here without a car. Can't imagine that you could. We had trouble finding our way but we just k ept callling Derrick and he would giggle and tell us what to do next with his delightful London accent. Upon arrival we were enchanted and only became more so with time. Our visit was in the middle of September and it can be cold at night in this area, then there was some much needed rain. The food, the company, and Derricks laughter and wise anecdotal narratives of his many and varied travels were fun and informative. If you're made of the right stuff you will truly love this place.

We went to Yurt Holiday Portugal for three nights. The best thing about it was the food. Derrick made some amazing meals during our stay. Make sure since you are far from everything that you request the extra meals. Also, the beds were super comfortable. This place is rustic and you will need to go up and down stairs to get to the yurts. I have a bad knee but am still able to navigate the terrain. The thing I did not like was the composting toilets. If you are ok with this then you will be fine. There is also hot and cold running water so the showers were very nice. It is east of Coimbra so you can get to most places from here. We also had a chance to go swimming in a river. Overall, a really great experience!

A wonderful place to go eco-glamping. Everything is taken care of with respect to the environment. No internet, great food and cosy yurts. Very good walking routes and waterfalls nearby. Derrick (who was there alone at the time we were there) proved to be very good company and a great cook. You can talk to him about anything and he has good suggestions as to what to do or where to eat out. Really nice place to chill down for a while and. Lily, the cat, is very social and always in for a cuddle! We stayed there for 5 nights.
