Carnota: Rent an apartment or holiday home

In Carnota, in the municipality of Alenquer, looking for an apartment or holiday home goes hand in hand with exploring small attractions in the parish of the same name. Its place names range from Santana da Carnota and Pipa to Serra. When renting, check the property’s exact location: the parish includes several places and is larger than the individual town center.

Mills and a park in the parish

The local parish council lists Moinhos da Serra and Parque de Merendas do Chafariz in Pipa as places to visit. The mills and the area designated as a park offer different ways to explore the parish. Their inclusion on the list alone, however, says nothing about access to the mill buildings or the park’s facilities; check these details locally before your planned visit.

A separate excursion to Arruda dos Vinhos

For a visit focused on wine and historic architecture, Quinta de São Sebastião offers a specific program. It is located in Arruda dos Vinhos, outside Carnota. The operator describes an 18th-century building, a chapel, the wine cellar, and a walk through the vineyard. Another option is a drive to the viewpoint overlooking Vale Encantado.

All visits to Quinta require an appointment in advance. Plan this excursion as a booked activity, and distinguish the estate’s address on Estrada de S. Sebastião from the separately listed office and cellar address. Renting an apartment in the parish of Carnota and booking an appointment at the wine estate are two separate decisions.
