River beaches in rural Portugal
One of the highlights of this region is the river beaches. Spend the day swimming, sunbathing, and cooling off in the water. Then return to Casa Chaouen for a relaxed evening in the garden or an outdoor meal.

Serra da Estrela mountains
The Serra da Estrela area is ideal for a day trip when you want bigger views and mountain energy. It is a great option for hiking, photography, and simply being somewhere that feels wide and wild.
Slow food and local culture
This part of Portugal is perfect for slow travel. Explore local villages, discover small cafes, and pick up ingredients to cook outside at Casa Chaouen. The outdoor kitchen and BBQ area make food a big part of the experience.
Stargazing and quiet evenings
At night, the countryside gets properly dark. That means stars. Some of the best moments at Casa Chaouen happen after dinner when the air cools and everything goes quiet.
