The Hidden Meadow – Óbidos, Central Portugal
€30 per night (for the plot, includes 2 people)
Quinta Stay – A secluded meadow terrace near Óbidos, tucked into a quiet pocket of trees and natural land.
About This Place
Hidden Meadow sits just outside Óbidos, tucked down into a quiet meadow-like terrace surrounded by trees, natural edges and open rural land.
The area feels peaceful and set apart. The camping area sits within a wide, sheltered meadow-like terrace surrounded by trees and natural vegetation, giving it a secluded feel that’s hidden from the surrounding landscape.
It’s a simple, private place for a tent or low-impact off-grid stay, the kind of spot where you can settle in quietly, listen to the land around you, and enjoy a hidden corner of countryside close to one of Portugal’s most beautiful medieval towns.
This is not a polished campsite. It’s a raw, rural meadow stay with privacy, space and a naturally sheltered feeling.
