About the host

Hosted by Casas do Baleeiro - Whaler's Houses

Host profile image
Surrounded by incredible beaches with crystal clear water, the Whaler's Houses are located in the center of a small and picturesque fishing village. Get ready to face the uneven gastronomy of this locality, to spend evenings at the end of the afternoon on the incredible beach terraces, so as not to want to say goodbye to this stunning and unequal population in the end.

Here, the sea meets the mountains and its thunderous fauna and flora, here you will know a charming fishing village that has always been linked to the sea and its customs. In this wonderful land of beaches and sun, delight yourself with the excellent and peculiar gastronomy rich in fish and seafood. Discover peace here. We already know her.
