Welcome, we are Mario and Loes. We live at Nova Alofa with our two dogs Marley & Safir and our cat Tijger (Dutch for Tiger). Staying at Nova Alofa is staying in the Portuguese countryside surrounded by mountains. The river on the edge of our terrain creates a cool place to sit and the sound of the flowing water is very relaxing. If your looking for action just put on your walking shoes and step outside into nature or go swimming or surfing in one of the beautiful bays on the west coast. You sleep in the caravan in a spacious bed of 180x200 cm. There is air conditioning and heating so it is never too hot or too cold. You live in the spacious veranda and of course outside. There is a kitchenette in the caravan. There are pots and pans, plates, mugs, bowls, cutlery, water cooker, coffee maker. The toilet is in the caravan, the private bathroom in a separate building outside next to the caravan. You can park your car on an enclosed site under a shelter so that it stays nice and cool. You can also use the swimming pool and the terrace on the water.

The name Nova Alofa is derived from Nuku’ Alofa, the capital of Tonga, an island in the South Pacific. Since we saw this farm for the first time in 2015, this is our nova alofa (new love). Nova Alofa is a small holiday resort with a 2 person house, 2 person caravan in a seperate area, and our own house. Together we make use of the swimming pool, the deck by the river and the infinite starry sky. Looking for the most beautiful beach, or a nice walk? We are happy to help you on your way. Loes speaks Dutch and English and a bit of everything. Mario speaks besides Dutch, English, French and Spanish, also fluent Portuguese and is happy to translate for you should the need arise. You will receive info about the Wi-Fi network and the password on arrival. Wifi is free and we have enough Mb´s to internet, FB and mail but streaming (Netflix, Spotify etc), gaming, YouTube, etc. is not allowed. There is internet on almost the whole terrain but there is no reception in the caravan itself. Nova Alofa is locares in an ecological area with small farms and wood production. Sounds form argricultaral vehicles and machines can occur.
