Tucked comfortably between the Mira River and the Atlantic Ocean, this small village, with it’s delightful architecture, wonderful natural environment and abundant outdoor recreational activities is the ideal place for a rented, serviced apartment or holiday letting.

To fully enjoy this region’s natural environment why not take a stroll over to one of the several beaches near the village. Praia do Rio, the river beach, is just the perfect place to unwind and take in the gorgeous river views as well as enjoying a cooling dip in the river’s inviting waters. Estuary beach is accessed via a wooden walk way and here you can enjoy clean, soft sands and calm, clear waters. There is also a restaurant and a snack bar so you can really make a day of it.

The surrounding woodlands are an ideal place for a walk and a quiet picnic and, if you are really lucky, you may even spot one of the wild boars or foxes that reside in the forest. On further exploration you will find one of the several small waterfalls in this area, why not just sit and take in the soothing atmosphere for a few moments. Very tranquil.

For those who fancy something a little more adrenalin fuelled there is a paragliding training centre within close proximity of your serviced residence or aparthotel in Vila Nova de Milfontes where you will receive all the appropriate tuition you need before taking that death defying leap. A small safari park close by is an interesting place to visit and a real treat for the kids and a walk along the estuary will enable you to view the abundant birdlife that occupy this region.

For those interested in architecture a climb up the cliffs will bring you face to face with the lighthouse. This somewhat obscure building doesn’t bear much resemblance to a lighthouse in fact it’s more like a whitewashed dwelling with it’s terracotta roof typical of this region and a box attached to one of it’s gables housing the light. But it is still an interesting place and the surroundings are spectacular with wonderful views of the River Mira estuary and Atlantic Ocean, which is particularly impressive when the surf has picked up.

Your apartment rental or holiday let in Vila Nova de Milfontes is also within easy reach of Tasco do Celso where you can enjoy some superb Portuguese cuisine amidst pleasant surroundings. With a vast wine list, excellent service and even a complimentary basket of nuts, dried fruit and local liqueur samples after your meal this place is a must. Make sure you try the loin of veal and the acorn liqueur, just divine.
