The distance
between Lisbon Airport and Quinta da Vida Serena is 100 kilometres,
approximately an hour’s drive.
Leave the
parking lot for rental cars and follow the direction called “Centro”. Soon you
will see a roundabout. Follow the roundabout, direction A1 (mind the traffic
lights). Head for the A1/A12 highways. Then take the A8 ‘Oeste’ going to Leiria,
Loures. Attention: you will need to filter in left pretty quick. After a while
this highway continues as a toll road. Take one of the left toll gates, but not
the one on the left end.
ATTENTION: Never take a toll gate signed with a green-white coloured ‘V’. This
is a toll gate for cars equipped with a special device for the toll road. Here
you can not draw a toll road ticket.
After you
passed the toll gates the road splits up in two directions. Keep to the left.
Good to
know if your rental car is low on gas: there is a petrol station 6 kilometres
after the toll entrances.
Stay on
the A8 until you reach the exit for Sao Martinho do Porto/Alfeizerão. Take
this exit. Then take the roundabout and then take the direction to Alcobaça.
Stay on this road until you see a big yellow building on your left (Hotel
‘Tres Torres’), then take the first exit on your right, to Macalhona. Follow
this road until you see an intersection. Here you keep left (name of the
street: “Rua Principal”). Follow this road until the next intersection. Here
you take a right. The first house on your left (painted in white and yellow
colours) is Quinta da Vida Serena.
