That said, it is clear that there are several factors in this market niche that contribute
to the development of the environment that surrounds them, be it tourism or just local
communities.
5 Five Glamping Sites in Portugal
5.1 Natura Glamping
Natura Glamping is located in Alcongosta, more precisely in Serra da Gardunha,
at 925 m of altitude, located 2 h and 40 min from Lisbon and Porto. This property
provides several tents with mountain views, so that guests can enjoy the fantastic
view that the accommodation provides them (Fig. 2).
Natura Glamping has two accommodation options: Geodesic Domes and Casa da
Guarda. Domes are considered luxury tents, with a maximum capacity of 4 people
and equipped with a whirlpool and a panoramic window, as we can see in Fig. 3.
