Ninho Saloio  

In the heart of Venda do Pinheiro, Mafra — a small, family-friendly guesthouse just 10 minutes by car from Serro and Tapada Nacional de Mafra Park. The Iberian Wolf Recovery Centre is about 5 miles away and Campo Grande sits roughly 26.8 km distant. Lisbon and surf town Ericeira are reachable in around 20 minutes, making this a handy base for day trips.

A compact, quirky property with just 8–9 rooms and a cosy, family atmosphere. Rooms include private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs with cable, safes, coffee/tea makers, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries, with daily housekeeping. Expect a terrace and garden views and an oddball decorative twist that gives the place character.

Take in the terrace and garden, lounge by the outdoor pool, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected and free self-parking is available onsite. A roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge (available 24 hours).

Complimentary wireless internet and express check-out make short stays efficient. Luggage storage and a safe-deposit box are available at the front desk.

Buffet breakfast is served in the mornings (weekdays earlier, weekends slightly later) for a fee. There’s an on-site restaurant where you can taste local Portuguese cuisine. Picnic and barbecue facilities let you take meals outside on sunny days.
