Encosta dos Túneis – Tourism and Leisure: Where nature embraces you and tranquility takes shape. In the heart of Paradela, by the Vouga River and just 4 km from Sever do Vouga, lies a true hidden gem between the sea and the mountains: Encosta dos Túneis, a charming retreat nestled within the historic Quinta do Vale Côvo, a property with roots dating back to 2003. This unique space is crossed by a peaceful stream and the former railway line, now transformed into the picturesque Ecopista do Vale do Vouga — perfect for walking or cycling in full harmony with nature. Surrounded by lush vegetation, ancient trees, and native flora, the estate invites you to rest, embrace silence, and reconnect with what truly matters. Every corner reveals a new experience: refreshing dips in a waterfall pool, close encounters with animals such as peacocks, trout, wild rabbits, and horses, as well as visits to vineyards, blueberry fields, and citrus groves rich in the scents and flavors of the land. Encosta dos Túneis was designed for those who seek more than just a place to stay — it’s an invitation to deep relaxation, simplicity, and the quiet beauty of rural life, all with the comfort of modern amenities. Let yourself be carried away by the sound of running water, the green of the landscape, and the peacefulness that only nature can offer. Here, every moment is a well-deserved pause.
