Salty Escape by Portugal Active
Salty Escape by Portugal Active is a true coastal haven where contemporary comfort meets laid-back elegance. The home boasts three bright and inviting double bedrooms, each adorned with soft tones and carefully selected details that create a serene, restful atmosphere. Two bathrooms — one with a modern shower and one for guest convenience — offer both functionality and style.
The crown jewel of the property lies outdoors: a private terrace bathed in sunlight, furnished with both dining and lounge areas. It’s ideal for leisurely breakfasts to the sound of the sea or starlit summer dinners. The barbecue sets the scene for delicious moments in good company, blending rustic charm with modern flair.
Air conditioning ensures absolute comfort all year round, and a private outdoor parking space adds convenience to your stay. Salty Escape is more than an apartment — it’s a sensory experience designed for those who wish to enjoy the best of the Portuguese coast in style and serenity.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire property. The concierge service from Portugal Active is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to assist with any needs, from organizing local excursions to booking personalized services, such as a private chef. To ensure availability, please request any services at least 72 hours in advance.

Located in Carreço, a charming coastal village just minutes from Viana do Castelo, Salty Escape is immersed in a peaceful atmosphere where the Atlantic breeze meets the slow rhythm of local life. It’s the perfect setting for those who appreciate authenticity, natural landscapes, and the rich flavors of Portuguese tradition — whether it’s a seaside stroll or a dinner of freshly caught fish in a local tavern.
Carreço train station is within walking distance and offers direct connections to Viana do Castelo, Porto, and other nearby cities. There are also local bus stops nearby, providing easy access for guests who prefer not to drive — though having a car offers more flexibility, especially for discovering hidden beaches and the lush greenery of the Minho region.
