Countryside by the sea, at Encosta do Salgado villas you can enjoy the best of both worlds! This community of modern villas overlooks the tranquil countryside and village of Famalicão da Nazaré, on Portugal’s iconic Silver Coast. Home to the beaches of Praia do Salgado, São Martinho do Porto and Nazaré.
These modern homes, each with a private pool, are situated in a tranquil community with spacious plots and split-level homes that follow the natural slope of the “encosta”, all with panoramic views over the countryside and village. The connection with nature is ever present in this location with walking paths that connect you to the village and the sea.
The architects were inspired by the old Portuguese communities that settled on the Silver Coast and built their homes right in the middle of the “encosta” (slope), sheltered from the sea breeze.
The homes are south facing and have sun all day long. With a modern open plan design and panoramic views across the valley, each with spacious gardens and a private swimming pool. A safe place for children to ride their bikes and play in the street, with “cul de sacs” and a caring community to look after them.
Elements of the region are present in the architecture of the house, such as the natural stone that connects with the surrounding landscape of Serra da Pescaria. Just walk out your door to the surrounding green hills, where the occasional windmill stands out against the blue of the Atlantic Ocean and the horizon.
Wake up with the rising sun in a house full of natural light, modern finishes and spacious, light-filled interiors, which flow seamlessly between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Families love this location for its proximity to the village, nature and beaches. Famalicão is a traditional Portuguese village with a picturesque church square, bandstand, cafés, restaurants and a chemist. Restaurants serve traditional dishes such as grilled fish. At Tasca do Janeca, a restaurant on the road to Salgado beach, you will experience a true Portuguese meal: simple flavours, made with local ingredients and generous portions that reflect the genuine joie de vivre that awaits you in this region of Portugal!
Nature is on your doorstep with walking and cycling trails that connect you to this iconic coastline, with its protected green areas and beautiful beaches. You can walk safely inland or along the coast, and there is so much to discover, including remains of ancient pilgrimage routes, the old church of Sao Gião and the farmland once cultivated by the Cistercian monks.
The Silver Coast is famous for its beaches, with Praia do Salgado nearby. A pristine sandy beach that goes on forever. If you are looking for a tan, surf or solitude then Praia do Salgado is the beach for you.
Nazare is a 3 minute drive from the house, as is Praia do Norte – the location where Garrett McNamara, the American professional big wave surfer, broke the world record for the largest wave ever surfed, featured in the blockbuster HBO documentary series, ‘100 Foot Wave’. São Martinho do Porto with its natural shell shaped bay, a favourite with young families with its protected shallow waters, is just a 7 minute drive away.
The rental potential of these villas is excellent, the combination of the tranquillity of nature with the beach and the many entertainment options makes this a highly sought after location for all generations. Situated in the heart of the Silver Coast, it is renowned for its popular historical sites, traditional restaurants, cafes and plenty of things to discover all year round. An excellent option for permanent residence in a region considered “The Real Portugal” or a second home for unforgettable holidays on the Silver Coast.
