Ciara Corrigan • July 7, 2025

Located in central Portugal’s scenic city of Porto, just 10 minutes from Foz do Arelho beach and the Óbidos Lagoon, this private five-bedroom property fuses modern luxury with thoughtful, environmentally conscious features. 

Set on 1.19 acres in Gaeiras and represented by Amanda Vieira and Teresa Guégués of   The Agency Portugal,  the property was crafted by top architects and interior designers using high-end, locally sourced and recycled materials.

Perhaps best known as the Tijosa Eco-House Camp, this property has earned widespread acclaim as a standout in sustainable and authentic tourism in Portugal. It was nominated for the 2023 National Tourism Awards in both the Sustainable Tourism and Authentic Tourism categories, and was awarded Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award, placing it among the top 10% of hospitality destinations worldwide. The property was also recognized by the prestigious Boa Cama Boa Mesa guide for both 2024 and 2025, and took home honors for Best Authentic Tourism and Best Sustainable/Ecological Tourism.

From its A+ energy rating to solar panels with battery storage, a geothermal heat pump, and a smart irrigation system, this retreat has been designed with sustainability in mind.

Thoughtful architectural details, including 23-foot panoramic windows, skylights, and natural stone walls, create a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the surrounding gardens. Inside, find five bedrooms (two of which are ensuite), four baths, a fully equipped commercial-grade SMEG kitchen, walk-in closets, and smart-home integration systems.

Additional eco-conscious features include underfloor heating and cooling, cork cladding, and thermal mirrored windows that maximize energy efficiency while allowing natural light to fill the interiors.

Outside, find a small vineyard, fruit trees, 10,764 square feet of manicured lawn, a stream, a private yin-yang pool, and an additional 10,000 square foot area that offers potential for a second villa or a tennis court. 

 

Located just five minutes from Caldas da Rainha, 45 minutes from Lisbon, and moments from top-tier beaches, this estate offers quick access to the city while delivering a true escape into nature. Contact  Amanda Vieira and Teresa Guégués  to learn more or arrange a private tour.
