About an hour from Lisbon, in Setúbal, you simply take the ferry across the river Sado to get to the resort of Troia. On this bank, you’ll find one of the most extensive beaches in Portugal, 18km long, which you can claim for yourself. The mild temperatures of its microclimate allows you to spend a few days full of activities, whether it’s summer or winter.
On the golden sands that extend to the horizon, with the clear waters of the sea on one side and the pine forest on the other, you can have fun with the whole family and, weather permitting, even enjoy some water sports. The area is perfect for windsurfing and sailing, as you can tell by the busy Troia Marina.

It’s very common to see dolphins at this point where the river Sado meets the sea, and taking a boat ride with time to observe them is always a good idea. Or go bird watching in the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park or the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, where there’s no lack of interesting species. Not far away is Carrasqueira, a very traditional fishing port built on stilts.

This port constitutes a unique copy throughout Europe, and its construction started in the mid-twentieth century. Based on wooden stakes embedded in the sludge or in the water, this anchorage seems to be snaking from the margin and the estuary of the Sado to within hundreds of meters, making this structure very unusual.In the course of the path, there are small collections built by the fishermen, where they keep their fishing tackles.
Walking seems like an adventure of risk, however the broad years of existence of the structure and the fact that even today serve the purpose of its construction, the Faina, ensure the safety of those who pass by it and marvel at walking on the water.

3km from apartment.
Situated in the Nature Reserve of the Serra da Arrábida, the Azeitão area includes various characteristic villages, in particular Vila Fresca and Vila Nogueira , which adopted the names of the quintas (country houses/estates) around which they developed.Several aristocratic families made this delightful region, of great natural beauty, their summer residence. They built fine country houses and mansions, such as the palace of the Dukes of Aveiro, which is built in pure Renaissance style.A visit to Azeitão also provides the opportunity to taste the excellent regional products, such as the cheeses, the famous tarts and the wines.

14km from apartment is Setubal.
It is in the downtown area that one can find much of the traditional trading.
Stores for every taste, with representations of some of the most recognized global brands, mingle with others from older times, where one can discover some rarities and less conventional products.
But the downtown does not live solely of commerce. culture peeks around every turn, some buildings are living testimonies of a city that grew, which is modernized, all without forgetting its historical centre.
Practically all the downtown streets converge to Praça do Bocage, one of the key meeting points of the people of Setúbal and those visiting the city.
