Wake Up To The Rio Maior Salt Pans | Single Stor

Space to live. A landscape to fall in love with.

Imagine morning coffee on the terrace as the mist lifts over the valley, revealing the extraordinary Salinas de Rio Maior Europe’s only fully operational inland salt pans of their kind, with a salt-making tradition documented since 1177.

Set within 3,720 m² of private grounds, this spacious single-storey villa offers countryside tranquillity, beautiful views and room to enjoy life.

Picture long lunches beneath the covered terrace, children playing in the courtyard, or summer evenings around the barbecue with good food, local Portuguese wine and a cold beer. Among the gardens, fruit trees, olive trees and cork oaks, there’s space to relax, entertain and simply breathe.

A short stroll leads to the Salinas’ charming wooden cottages, traditional salt shops and Solar do Sal, loved for its famous peri-peri grilled chicken.
