CLOSER TO NATURE

From the banks of the Mondego river to the top of the mountain

Welcome to Encontro no Rio. It is located directly on the Mondego river. This place has a special spirit: it is peaceful and calm. A place where time has no meaning. And where you can absolutely forget the stress of the daily working life. When you come down the road, it feels like entering into a different world. All around the farm is covered with trees in an up and down going of nature and the river.


We are living here family based with attention to nature, all our animals and guests. Everything here is based on encounter. That’s why we called the farm: Encontro no Rio. Our aim is to share this amazing and special place and welcome as much people as possible.

relaxing ones, active sports, trips, viewpoints and a lot more to do and discover…

Horse Experience

Kayak and Water fun

Hiking Tours and Walks

Fishing

We spent 3 nights as a family in this idyllic place, we were very well received by the Hesshaimer family, the apartment was spacious (5 people) and very clean. We love everything, the people, the animals, the connection with horses, the simplicity of things and the natural beauty of this Mondego valley is something truly unique. The pool is useful for kids, while adults just need a book and enjoy the view, it's an excellent retreat to rest and "clear your mind". I highly recommend a trip down the river, on a SUP or Kayak, at sunset, they are magical landscapes.
Thanks see you soon.

Between the river and the trees 

The Mondego river is a dam river. So, each month and season is totally different here and has its charming advantages. Spring and summer are the best seasons for swimming, and the rest of the year we have a big river beach. Although the farm and the river are surrounded by impressive forests, the property is open and wide. On the right river side we have beautiful and mystic sunrises – very special when the fog dances on the river.  And on the left river side we have sunny and intensive sunsets – sometimes the horizon is covered with magical colours. It feels like being in Paradise.
