Eco-friendly & Low-impact Holidays in Central Portugal

Eco-friendly? So much is labelled as such these days. Here is a selection of holiday accommodation with a 'close to nature' or 'different' & low impact living experience. Yurts in a forest setting, a small house built entirely from river stones, a beautiful mongolian yurt, and more. Use compost toilets, eat fresh organic veg direct from the garden, take a solar-heated well-water shower. Go on, try a truly environmentally friendly setting for your vacation.

Pure Portugal also lists holidays on organic farms, off-grid holidays, and venues that can cater for vegetarians, that may also be of interest to you.
