North Portugal is one big natural playground. When you visit with children, you realise quickly how child-friendly the country is. Not because of giant waterparks or endless animation teams, but because of something much more valuable: space, nature, adventure and the warm Portuguese culture, where children are always welcome.
At Eco Lodge Cabreira, child-friendliness means freedom, nature and discovery. No gaming consoles or organised kids’ clubs — instead you’ll find trees to climb, streams to build dams in, rocks to jump over, insects to examine, paths to wander and stories to invent among old ruins.
Children play here just as they should:
Nature offers a thousand and one play opportunities — from swimming in waterfalls to mud-paths, from building dens to family walks along hidden forest tracks. While the children are lost in their own adventure, parents find exactly the same: back to outdoors, back to calm, back to self.
The accommodations at Eco Lodge Cabreira are intimate, widely spaced and designed with respect for nature and calm. This means you never have the dreaded “kids-annoyance” — everyone has space, big and small.
You can choose from, among others:
And if you consider your dog a full member of the family: dogs are welcome.
Eco Lodge Cabreira is located in one of the most beautiful natural regions of Northern Portugal. Each season has its magic:
Throughout the year you can walk with your family, uncover hidden places, play in the forest, spot animals and go on adventure. A weekend is already great — but usually too short, especially when you consider that the Peneda‑Gerês National Park lies only 25 km away.
Several times a year Eco Lodge Cabreira organises outdoor and walking holiday weeks especially for families, with programmes tailored to different age groups (e.g., children’s walking holiday in summer, autumn or for toddlers).
