Why go there?

Vila Nova de Milfontes is a graceful place. Very traditional, bursting with charm and brightness, and it is cozy. 

Here, you’ll discover plenty of options that everyone can enjoy. Such as water activities, relaxing boat rides and little games in the countryside. On the water, and pedestrian trails, and many other things.

It also has a rich and outstanding gastronomy and cheerful and rustic pubs.

What to do?

Take a ride through the center of town, there you will find little houses not very high. Most of them whitewashed and with cute little blue and yellow details! Multiple coffee shops around, with sunny and appetizing terraces… In short, the best of Portuguese culture!

Classified as Property of Public Interest in 1978, the Fort of São Clemente or ‘Castelo de Mil Fontes’ are today vital pieces that identify Vila Nova de Milfontes. The area carries with it a mystical feeling, perhaps due to the ruins and the surrounding green vegetation (which makes this fortress a special place). Due to its privileged location, we find here a great quality of panoramic views!

Spend a pleasant day at Franquia Beach, with a spectacular access, or cross the river by boat, to disembark at Furnas Beach, with blue waters and soft sand.

Cross the Avenida Marginal to the Milfontes Lighthouse and the Statue of the Archangel, ideal for a sunset walk, and where you can have a passionate view of the river. 

Bet on Vila Nova de Milfontes, you won’t regret it
