Location
About the surrounding area of Casa CelaCasa Cela can be found in the picturesque village of Cela, in the heart of the countryside, near the Atlantic Coast of west Portugal. The house is approximately eighty-five kilometres from the nearest international airport of Lisbon Portela. Within walking distance, the village is home to minimarts for holiday provisions and welcoming bars and restaurants.
Take a walk in nature and discover the local flora and fauna on well-trodden trails. Seek sanctuary in the nearby medieval Alcobaca Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit a vineyard and take a bottle or two home with you.
The nearest beach is just seven kilometres from the holiday hot spot resort of Nazare, with an organised sandy beach and famous big waves; it attracts surfers from all over the world. Swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters, or try your hand at jet skiing. A more leisurely way to spend the day is a relaxing boat cruise around the coast. Walk to the iconic Nazare lighthouse before a stroll around the historic old town of O Sitio, which is located on a cliff overlooking the beach. Visit the Nossa Senhora de Nazare Sanctuary, take the funicular railway to the top of the town, browse the market for souvenirs, and dine in seafront restaurants on the local delicacies of bacalhau and caldeirada.

ABOUT THE SILVER COAST
The Silver Coast in Portugal, or Costa de Prata, is a stunning stretch of coastal towns on the western side of Portugal, neighbouring the Atlantic Ocean. The region remains largely unknown and therefore untouched by tourism, meaning those who do visit can bask in the extraordinary “silver” sand.
Another of the many reasons to love the Silver Coast in Portugal is its proximity to Portugal’s major cities. With Lisbon to the south and Porto to the north, the Silver Coast is well situated in between both of Portugal’s largest urban centres. At the same time, it is inexpensive, authentic, and relatively undiscovered.
The Silver Coast is home to some of the best beaches you’ll ever see in Portugal. Since it’s away from the main crowd of the country, the beaches here are wilder and more pristine. Also, being popular for fishing is a great place to try local cuisine and experience the culture.
The cuisine from the Silver Coast in Portugal is some of the finest that Europe has to offer and forms an integral part of the region’s culture. The area has a rich heritage, and tourists love the narrow, picturesque streets of the towns and villages that dot the countryside. The regional agriculture also adds an authentic touch, with numerous small farms, vineyards, windmills as well as fruit trees. Many local farmers grow soft fruits such as grapes, melons, pumpkins, and maize.
Kids
Best Suited For: Babies & ToddlersThe nearest golden sandy beaches are a short seven-kilometre drive away; Praia da Nazare is highly recommended for families, with its calm waters that are suitable for swimming. Your older kids may enjoy a day at Praia do Norte, famous for its big waves, where they can watch the windsurfers. The beaches also offer surfing and bodyboarding lessons for them to learn a new skill.
Take a walk in nature or use the bikes on site at Casa Cela to discover the local flora and fauna. You can also rent bikes in the town of Nazare and ride the coastal routes or skateboard in the parks.
Spend the day in the family-friendly resort of Nazare, take a boat cruise along the coast, see the Grutas da Moeda, a cave system with underground formations, take the funicular railway to O Sitio, stroll in the Parque Infantil with its children's playground, and go to the Nazare Water Park, with a mini zoo and archaeological museum.
