Come and find a unique haven of tranquillity, on the corner of a meandering river of reeds and lilies, in a protected natural landscape, where it may take you more than a moment to enjoy the difference, to “chill” and fathom the depths of your own “discriminating awareness” of reality. Reality? Finding yourself in a painting by Monet, with the leaves whispering an air of Erik Satie or Debussy.
On the edge of a rural village, where people great each other on passing, and where time is marked by the “capela’s” bell or the sound of the little train known as the “Vouginha” that stops (on request) at the bottom of the road and connects Taipa-Requeixo with Aveiro and Agueda. These sounds soon fade into those that linger, a distant dog, a thrush in the vine by the window and time returns to mirror the gentle flow of the river. Does your mind and spirit not deserve such a respite in pure peace and serenity?
But nevertheless, sophisticated sights, sounds and activities are not far; Porto, 40 min., Coimbra 30 min., and Aveiro 20 min. drive away. All offering their unique history, culture and art. Others, activities abound nearby. There are the long beaches and dunes of Costa Nova or Barra, or the costal nature reserve of São Jacinto, riding, sailing, surfing, golfing and many other popular diversions.
