ED Refnr. 3175386

Casa dos Jacintos is located in São Jacinto, a fishing community across the lagoon from downtown Aveiro, in a building next to the Ria de Aveiro waterfront, near restaurants, cafés, and the ferry terminal. The unspoiled beaches of the São Jacinto Dunes Natural Reserve are in walking distance, making this upper-floor flat a cozy getaway for active vacations close to nature, romantic weekends, or digital nomad work-ations.

PLEASE NOTE: The quaint fishing community of São Jacinto is connected by car ferry (15 minutes) and bus - with WiFi - with downtown Aveiro across the lagoon. The ferry runs from early in the morning until late at night. It takes about 20-25 minutes to reach downtown Aveiro. If you're looking for direct proximity to Aveiro's downtown area or the university campus, this apartment is not for you. Our guests come for peace and quiet close to nature. They also use São Jacinto as their base camp for excursions in the Aveiro region and to Porto and Coimbra.

House Rules: No pets. No smoking on the premises, including the balcony, building hallway, and outside entrance area. For safety reasons, we only allow children age 12 or older. For guests with younger children, we recommend Apartment A on the ground floor.

Our guests have their nearby pick of several restaurants with outdoor and indoor seating that serve fresh local fish specialties. You'll find cafés next door and a popular bakery/pastelaria around the corner.

São Jacinto is located on a peninsula across the lagoon from downtown Aveiro. From the international airport in Porto, it is roughly an hour south by car or motorcycle or about 2 hours by public transportation. Coming from Aveiro or further south, you would take the (car) ferry, which runs all day until late at night between Forte da Barra and São Jacinto.

São Jacinto makes it easy to shed your car (it is safe) and explore the neighborhood on foot or by bicycle. This includes excursions - or even daily visits - to downtown Aveiro or its sprawling university campus and to the neighboring, more crowded (!) beach communities of Torreira, Barra, and Costa Nova.

Trips to Porto or Coimbra without a car require only slightly more planning and reviewing ferry, bus, and train schedules, but it is worth it.

Hourly speed trains connect Aveiro with both cities. In Porto in particular, finding free parking can be difficult outside the season, and almost impossible during the summer. You will be glad you took public transportation.
