🌍 Your Ultimate Portuguese Roadtrip Starts Here!
Hello to all nature lovers 🌲, freedom seekers 🕊️, and explorers!
If you vibe with the idea of always being on the move 🚐, taking in breathtaking views ⛰️, falling asleep under a blanket of stars 🌌, and waking up at a different beach every day 🏖️... your dream roadtrip is just a few clicks away.
We are Gus and Sol 👋. We are passionate about overlanding, the open road, and that unique feeling of exploring at our own pace—whether it's discovering dirt roads or finding authentic local spots and hidden taverns 🍷 that aren't in any guidebook.
We want to share this passion with you! We know what it's like to travel light, so we've got you covered. We are entirely at your disposal (we speak English 🇬🇧 and Portuguese 🇵🇹) not just to hand over the keys, but to give you the best local tips and ensure you have an unforgettable experience in Portugal.
We are thrilled to introduce our trusty companion, Nómada: our Kia Ceed equipped with a Roof Tent, designed to take you anywhere! 🗺️-----🚙 The Car: Practical, Economical, and Adventurous!
Our Kia Ceed is the ideal road trip companion! It combines the ruggedness 💪 needed to eat up the miles with the massive advantage of being an agile and practical vehicle. Unlike a bulky motorhome, it allows you unrestricted access to secluded beaches 🏄, easy parking in any city center 🏙️, and benefits from Class 1 toll rates 🛣️ (the cheapest in Portugal!), saving your travel budget significantly.
Powered by a highly reliable diesel engine, it is incredibly fuel-efficient ⛽. Inside, you'll find a very comfortable and air-conditioned cabin ❄️, paired with a generous trunk featuring the perfect space to neatly organize all your luggage and the camping gear we provide 🧳.-----⛺ The Tent: Your 'Suite' Under the Stars
Sleeping in nature has never been this practical and comfortable! Perfect even for first-time campers, our hard-shell roof tent sets up in under 5 minutes ⏱️, freeing up your time for what really matters: enjoying the adventure.
With capacity for 2 adults and 1 child 👨‍👩‍👧, it offers generous space and is built with premium materials, tested to guarantee total protection against the elements 🌧️. The smart design allows for perfect ventilation 🌬️, while the blackout interior fabric blocks the morning light for days when you'd rather skip the sunrise and sleep in 😴.
For getaways during the colder months, the booking automatically includes a complete Winter Kit ❄️🔥 (thermal insulation, appropriate sleeping bags, and an anti-condensation base mattress) so you always have warm and cozy nights.-----🎒 All-Inclusive 'Fly & Drive' Gear: Just Bring Your Clothes!
Since we know many of our guests fly into Portugal with limited luggage, we designed the Nómada to be 100% ready for the road. We provide a fully equipped camping inventory at no extra cost, so you can start exploring from minute one.
To make this overland experience possible while keeping a true 'home away from home' comfort, and especially for those who love to prepare their own meals in nature, here is what we have available:

• 🛌 Sleep & Shower: A waterproof mattress protector, fitted sheets, warm sleeping bags, comfortable camping pillows, bath towels (so you don't need to waste luggage space!), and a portable solar shower for off-grid washing.
• 🍳 The Outdoor Kitchen: A portable gas stove (with 2 gas cartridges included), a Moka pot for your morning espresso, a pot, frying pans, a grill, a cutting board & knife, a clever collapsible washbasin, a basic cleaning kit (sponge, dish soap, cloth, and trash bags), and a complete dining set (plates, cups, and cutlery for everyone).
• 🪑 Chill & Dining Area: A foldable outdoor table and comfortable camping chairs to enjoy your meals with a view.
• 💡 Off-Grid Essentials: A 15L water jerrycan to keep you hydrated, a USB rechargeable camping lantern, and headlamps for hands-free nighttime navigation.
• ⛑️ Safety First: For your total peace of mind, the Nómada comes with a homologated first-aid kit, a 1kg fire extinguisher, reflective vests, and a warning triangle.

-----🌟 Optional Extras (On-Demand)
To make your trip even more relaxing and tailored to your needs, we offer a few optional extras for a small additional fee (payable upon check-in). Just let us know when booking if you'd like to add any of these to your trip:

• 🏖️ Sun Kit: Includes 2 large beach towels and 1 beach umbrella. Perfect for those sunny Algarve and Alentejo beach days without buying gear you can't take on the plane!
• 🧼 Hassle-Free Cleaning: Vehicles must be returned clean, but if you prefer to skip the final cleaning on your last day of holidays, we offer a convenient end-of-stay cleaning service.

-----⏰ Operating Hours, Check-In & Check-Out
Operating Hours: 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM

• Check-In (8:00 AM - 7:00 PM): Vehicle pick-up must be scheduled within our regular operating hours. When you arrive to pick up the Nómada here in Oeiras, we won't just hand you the keys. We will take the time to do a full walkthrough of the car together, demonstrate exactly how to pop up and close the roof tent, show you where all the gear is safely stored, and clear up any doubts. It's also the perfect moment for us to share some final local tips for your route!
• Check-Out (8:00 AM - 7:00 PM): Drop-off also takes place within our operating hours. The check-out procedure is very simple and relaxed: we will meet back at the initial location, do a quick walk-around to check the vehicle and the gear, confirm the fuel tank is full (just as we delivered it to you), and—most importantly—hear all the amazing stories from your trip!
