Casa da Amieira: Nature as Your Neighbor in the Quiet Heart of the Ribatejo<\/h1>\n\n

You won\u2019t find Amiais de Cima on any \u201ctop ten\u201d list in Portugal. It\u2019s a small hamlet in the Ribatejo region, nestled among the rolling hills of Central Portugal<\/a>, a 1.5-hour drive from Lisbon. Here, surrounded by cork oaks, fig trees, and almond trees, lies Casa da Amieira\u2014a charming hotel where nature is literally part of the scenery. <\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s not Glamping or an intimate cottage for two. Casa da Amieira is a full-fledged hotel with bungalows, an extensive spa, two outdoor pools, and even a petting zoo. If you\u2019re looking for peace and nature combined with comfort and amenities (and all in a place that most tourists tend to overlook), you\u2019ll find exactly what you\u2019re looking for here. <\/p>\n\n

\n

With its 32 rooms and bungalows, Casa da Amieira is larger than the typical small-scale accommodations featured on Nature Travel Lab. What makes this hotel worth a visit? Its location in the heart of an undiscovered corner of Portugal, its direct connection to the surrounding landscape, and its genuine dedication to hospitality that\u2019s well-suited to its size. It\u2019s not the place for you if you\u2019re looking for a secluded spot, but it is perfect if you want to combine nature with comfort and amenities. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

The Ribatejo: the part of Portugal that most people skip<\/h2>\n\n

The Ribatejo (the region along the Tagus River north of Lisbon) is one of the least-visited regions in Portugal. While the Algarve is packed with tourists and the Alentejo has become a well-known destination, almost everyone just drives through here on their way somewhere else. That\u2019s exactly what makes it so special. <\/p>\n\n

The landscape there is both gentle and rugged: rolling meadows, cork oak forests, and limestone cliffs. The area around Amiais de Cima borders the Parque Natural das Serras d\u2019Aire e Candeeiros, a limestone plateau featuring caves, river springs, and hiking trails that are well off the beaten path. Right next to the hotel: the Nascentes do Alviela, the source of the Alviela River, one of the most beautiful wetlands in Central Portugal. <\/p>\n\n

The hotel: a peaceful, green setting, popular with guests<\/h2>\n\n

Casa da Amieira has grown from a family-run hotel in the Ribatejo region into a full-fledged destination with its own distinctive character. The design is modern yet earthy: wood, neutral tones, and large windows. The rooms and bungalows are named after the trees that surround the property: fig tree, olive tree, almond tree, and cork oak. This is no coincidence: this hotel wants you to know exactly where you are. <\/p>\n\n

Guests are consistently enthusiastic about the staff. Several reviews echo the same sentiment: the staff are attentive, speak English, and are very helpful. The breakfast is consistently praised: fresh, local, and varied. <\/p>\n\n

Rooms and Bungalows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Accommodations range from compact standard double rooms (starting at approximately \u20ac70 per night) to luxury two-bedroom bungalows with a kitchenette and private terrace (starting at approximately \u20ac180 per night). The bungalows offer wonderful privacy: they\u2019re detached and surrounded by greenery, with a private balcony and a spacious layout. <\/p>\n\n
