welcome to nature!

At Starbase18, you don't have to travel to experience nature, you are in the middle of it all. Wake up with the sounds of the many birds or the sound of the tiny bells of the sheep and goats. Put on your walking boots and walk the amazing Passadiços do Mondego or relax with a book on your own terrace. Fancy a picnic? Pick one of the many spots. Want to go for a swim? Pick one of the many river beaches or go to the big lake. Into culture? Visit one of our museums or one of the 12 historical villages. Discover our other activities as well.

We have 4 brand new fully equiped apartments, all with their private bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and terrace. Go directly to Torre apartment, Zêzere apartment, Mondego apartment or Dão apartment

Still need some online work to do? We got you covered with high speed internet and a dedicated co-working space.

As our name implies, little light pollution at night creates an awesome opportunity for stargazing

 We value the health of our guests and in particular the children, therefore smoking is forbidden at Starbase18 lda. If you want to smoke, you can visit the café just across the street.

Riverside Mondego - Kids Playing
Relax, read a book, enjoy each other, take part in a workshop or explore the mountains!
Fun times for kids AND their parents

A real vacation!

Having young kids ourselves, we know how exhausting holidays with kids can be. Wouldn't it be nice to have some quality time alone or with your partner as well? We organize workshops and activities for your kids while you can have some 'me' or 'we' time.

We also have workshops for adults focussing on self reliance, practical philosophy and growing your own food.

Our land is safe for kids and there is plenty of space to play some soccer/football or other ball games.

During the colder months, we have the option to play indoors.
