Praia do Sal, Alcochete
Golf and relaxation in Alcochete!
A lovely apartment beside the Tejo river in the authentic village of Alcochete, located on the southern bank of Rio Tejo as it flows through Lisbon! The interior design of Praia do Sal is in Scandinavian style. From Lisbon airport you drive across the Vasco da Gama bridge to the accommodation in approximately 25–30 minutes on the motorway (toll).
Lisbon is, as you know, a very interesting destination for a day out and is easily accessible from Praia do Sal with your own rental car or by local bus which departs directly outside the accommodation to the well-known meeting place Oriente Station in Lisbon. From the nearby small town of Montijo there is also a fast catamaran ferry (20 minutes) going directly into Lisbon city centre – good parking available at the ferry terminal in Montijo.
Praia do Sal is perfectly located in Alcochete within walking distance to the village centre and main streets. Around the square and the surrounding quarters there are many cafés and restaurants that are open all year round. Here the local population and tourists mix pleasantly.
Praia do Sal is a modern accommodation with very high standards, both inside and out. The apartments are bright and well equipped with fast Wi-Fi, international TV channels and good kitchens. Praia do Sal has a spa with indoor pool, gym and sauna, as well as a lovely outdoor pool area. Down by the harbour there are many good fish and meat restaurants. An evening stroll along the river at sunset, or for that matter a morning jog, is balm for the soul.
The small town of Alcochete is very popular and well-known as a picturesque, charming little village with a relaxed pace and pleasant local atmosphere. In the square the local gentlemen sit and drink their "bica – coffee" and philosophise. Alcochete also has Europe's largest outlet, a popular shopping area "Freeport Lisbon / Alcochete Fashion Outlet", well worth a visit.
In Lisbon there are plenty of nice little restaurants and on the small side streets you will always find a pleasant lunch restaurant at a good price.
The selection of museums is large, and a visit to the Ocean aquarium at Oriente is an experience. A stay at Praia do Sal in Alcochete is not just about golf – the whole of Lisbon is open for you to explore.

Accommodation details
Lisbon
About 25 kilometres west of Lisbon lies Estoril, this classic and elegant little resort at the mouth of the Tagus river. Often called the "coast of sun" or "the Portuguese Riviera", Estoril (and neighbouring Cascais) was where Europe's rich, famous and even royal figures sought refuge during the Second World War when Portugal was safe and neutral. Grand hotels and Europe's largest casino were built to welcome them, and it was here that Ian Fleming got the idea for James Bond.
South of the river, in Seixal and Alcochete, you live peacefully and close to nature – with quick access to the capital's culture, restaurants and local life.
The golf courses are nestled in the pine forests south of the Tagus – peaceful, classic courses without crowding. On your rest day, you take the bridge or ferry into Lisbon: tram 28 through Alfama, pastéis de nata in Belém and the view from São Jorge castle. Sintra with its fairytale palaces and Cascais seafront promenade are within an hour, and the winter months offer clear, mild days that are perfect for both golf and city walks.
