Encontro no Rio fosters encounters with
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.

Real stories from our guests
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.
