Salto del Caballo

About

Tucked into the hills where Spain meets Portugal, Salto del Caballo is a Casa Rural for those seeking nature, calm, and something a little different. Once part of a smuggling route, the house now welcomes travellers with two spacious apartments, flowering patios, and sweeping views over the mountains. Each apartment has two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette. Natural textures, soft tones, and thoughtful touches create a quiet atmosphere where it’s easy to rest and reconnect. Guests are greeted with a welcome basket of local vegetarian treats, and just a few steps away, Bar Salto serves seasonal sharing plates and natural wines from the region. Trails begin at the door, birdsong carries through the air, and the old border tells its stories to those who listen. Salto del Caballo is part of the São Mamede Wine Project - an invitation to taste, explore, and live slowly in one of Europe’s last wild corners.
