About the Hotel

Eco-Friendly Cottages in Vila Franca do Campo

Here on Quinta dos Curubás we believe that living in a different way is possible. Hence the Quinta dos Curubás is strongly committed to sustainability, efficiency, reducing waste and in the use of healthy products for the environment. We also feel it’s important to help our community because it is what supports and validates our journey towards sustainability. We mainly believe that living in tune with nature is something logical and actually quite pleasant.

Quinta dos Curubás has five houses in total, three detached and two semi-detached. Our pinewood built houses have excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, making the environment even more restful. Overlooking the sea and surrounded by green vegetation, the houses are perfect for a relaxing holiday. The semi-detached houses are ideal for families or a group of friends, having a communicating door.

The houses have a 67 m2 area, comprising one room with a double bed with ample garden view; living room with a sofa bed, flat screen TV, cable; a kitchen equipped with an electric stove, microwave, toaster, kettle and a bathroom with bathtub and hair dryer.
