A Porto one-off, this girdle-buster of a meat-filled, cheese-egg-topped, sauce-doused sandwich is an institution. Eateries jostle to claim the crown for best Francesinha in town! These will prove invaluable once you get back in your campervan and hit the road to discover what awaits beyond the city. 

Portugal’s famed hand-painted tiles take on another decorative dimension in Porto. Check out the tiled murals in São Bento train station, or the tile-coated Igreja do Carmo church and prepared to be blown away!

Recreating the picture-book image of the perfect bookshop, the Livraria Lello is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. Its stunning stained-glass skylight, winding staircases and upper gallery almost outdo its selection of books.

Brash, buzzing and bubbling over with history, Portugal’s second city offers visitors an authentic experience of local city culture with no sign of fairground artifice. While Porto does frequently steal the show, the entire region is full of wonders. Exploring the highlights of Northern Portugal in your camper allows for more variety and off the beaten path experiences than a typical road trip.

Campervan Hire In Porto - Rent Your Motorhome From Porto Airport

Tumbling down to the Douro in a whimsical yet perfectly ordered mishmash of architectural charm, Porto embraces visitors with its take-me-as-you-see-me bravado. It may be Portugal’s northern metropolis, where iconic modern buildings designed by world-famed architects sit alongside the narrow-street mesh of centuries past, but it somehow retains a familiar, laid-back small-town vibe. Unknown yet somehow familiar, this is a city to soak up and relish. Grab a drink in a riverside café or in a cool bar in Galerias. Wander the backstreets in wonder, cross the river to Gaia and visit the famed port wine cellars, or climb historical towers and explore mesmerising churches.

Porto really has it all. From promenade-fronted beaches in the west to wine estates perched above the meandering Douro river in the east; from colourful, bustling alleys in Bolhão and Ribeira to the city-scale vastness of the Avenida dos Aliados. The city and riverscapes viewed from atop Dom Luís Bridge are just as spectacular as the leafy calm of the coastal City Park. Those in search of musical grandeur shouldn't miss Casa da Música and lovers of modern art will find everything they seek at the Serralves Museum. There’s something for everyone in this sprawling-yet-cosy city.

Brash, buzzing and bubbling over with history, Portugal’s second city offers visitors an authentic experience of local city culture.

Campervan hire

When you're ready to explore further afield, hop in your camper and drive just west of the centre. Belém indulges with its UNESCO status buildings and monuments and its modern museums. It’s also home to the Pastel de Belém, probably the finest example of Portugal’s custard tart. These are pretty filling, so if you feel a sudden urge to take a nap, the bed inside your camper van folds down easily. We're big fans of a good midday nap.

Former factory buildings transformed into quirky shops, restaurants, cafés, bars – this is city regeneration at its coolest. On Sundays, the open-air market fills the streets with stalls selling local colour. You should not miss a chance to check this place out, but be prepared, it's popular and does get busy. It's probably best you park your campervan a few streets away from the entrance for a smoot exit when you're ready to hit the road.

Market turned into a multi-restaurant food court, where kiosks offer gourmet, vegan, shellfish… you name it! Great way to experience Lisbon’s famed food scene, condensed into a few hundred square metres. This local gem is a great alternative to the very popular Time Out Market Lisbon. Whether you choose to visit one, or both, you'll be pleased to discover that the charm of Lisbon extends beyond the usual city centre and exploring the outskirts of Lisbon by van is a great way to do it.

Undoubtedly one of the most alluring capitals in Europe, the City of Light, as Lisbon is known, overwhelms with its charm, bustle and beauty, and yet, just a short drive away, there are so many more wonders waiting to be discovered…

Campervan Hire In Lisbon - Motorhome Rental Lisbon Airport

There’s a reason everyone is talking about Lisbon. Some highlight its location, sprawling over seven hills and down to the shores of the mighty Tagus and the Atlantic beyond. Some boast about its historical credentials, as a former powerhouse of Europe and HQ to the Age of Discoveries and gateway to the New World. Others prefer its cultural and artistic charm, where castles and monuments rub shoulders with futuristic architectural icons, where museums meet overlap with theatres and concert venues. If all that isn't enough reason to go check out Lisbon, there is the robust food scene, its kindhearted people, colourful shops, endless bridges, vibrant markets, lush parks, and of course, Fado.

Whatever the reason, Lisbon can’t help but win you over. Whether riding high, aboard a retro yellow tram; on foot, surprised by sudden, unexpected glimpses of the Tagus, framed at the end of steep cobbled streets; on a scooter, zigzagging along the broad walkways of the riverfront; or bobbing above the modernity of Parque da Nações in a cable car, Lisbon is a treat for the senses. Some of these Lisbon treasures are best explored on foot. For the others, let's just say you'll be very glad to have your campervan parked nearby.

Portugal’s cosmopolitan capital is steeped in history and beauty. Experience one of the most charismatic and vibrant cities in Europe.

Dare you travel the world’s first cross-border zip line? While you'll have to get out of the comfort zone of camper van for this one, you'll have a unique chance to Zoom from Sanlúcar in Spain to Alcoutim in the Algarve, in a matter of seconds, high above the River Guadiana.

Enjoy a tour and tasting session at one of the world’s leading artisan olive oil farms, Monterosa in the charming village of Moncarapacho, and discover why its oils win gold medals year after year. And the best part, whatever you decide to purchase, you can immediately put to good use as your fully stocked campervan kitchen is ready for you to practice your chef skills. 

Time it right and you’ll be able to hitch a lift down the coolest lazy river ever! Float upstream (tide going in) or downstream (tide going out) around the curves of the Ribeira de Aljezur at Amoreira beach, in Aljezur, or equally the Ribeira de Seixe, at Odeceixe beach, Odeceixe. No need to strap big paddle boards to the roof of your camper either, the local scene is prepared to accommodate your group no matter how many friends you packed in the van.

More than sun, sea and golf, the Algarve is a vibrant playground of scenic, cultural and gastronomic delights. Beyond the stunning coastline you’ll find historic towns, colourful villages, and mountains and valleys blessed by nature’s hand. Hire a campervan in Faro if you want to go straight to vacation mode with no detours.

Faro campervan hire, offering the best new, retro, classic & vintage Volkswagen campers to rent. Call: 00351 289 843 766 for a quick quote or book online to secure your Portuguese motorhome holiday today!

Campervan Hire In Faro - Motorhome Rental Faro Airport

The region’s capital of Faro, or in particular the nearby seafood paradise of Olhão, provide a launch pad to stunning off-shore islands, spreading eastwards all the way to Tavira, one of the Algarve’s most picturesque towns. To the west, the coast develops into a wonderland of cliffs, caves and coves, the source of many a postcard shot. Cruise further west in your camper, and the coastline turns northwards, at the surfing hotspot of Sagres, becoming wilder and all the more dramatic.

Inland, the rolling hills facing the coastline give way to fertile valleys and to the endless serramountains beyond. The Serra de Monchique, in the west, and the Serra de Caldeirão in the East produce some of the Algarve’s most memorable scenery and traditional villages abound. You’ll have endless opportunities to find out what’s behind the next bend in a rural idyll full of surprises. The key is to take it slow and enjoy the ride.

Home to many of the Algarve’s best beaches. Jump in your camper and head for the Beach.

When we venture out into the big wide world, we need to be sure we can do so safely. For this reason, we’d like to tell you about the extra precautions we are taking to ensure your safety and to also inspire you to pursue the freedom and connection only a campervan road trip can bring.

2020 has been a roller coaster ride of emotions, bouncing us along on a journey from anxiety to inner discovery. It also led many to reconnect with families, loved ones and reassess life’s values. The suspension of our normal routines gifted us with the realization that we don’t need to collect things to be happy, but we do need to seek meaningful interactions and experiences. A road trip can gently move your mind, give you a sense of safety and peaceful distance as you nurture your soul and gain a new perspective on life.

At Siesta Campers, we pride ourselves with cleanliness and attention to detail.

We design our campers with top quality materials that are practical and easy to keep clean. Rest assured we stepped up our hygiene and cleaning processes with vigorous precision.

Each day we ask our team and guests to stay vigilant, respect hygiene procedures, wear masks and keep a safe distance at all times. Our bases are equipped with foot pump hand sanitizers and our staff have daily infrared thermometer checks.

Our campers undergo a 2 stage sanitizing and cleaning process:

Deep clean. On return, campers are thoroughly sanitized with certified disinfectant products by our knowledgable staff equipped with protective gear, disposable suits, gloves and masks. 

The general cleaning includes 40ºc hot water, anti-bacterial upholstery wash.

Special attention is given, in both stages, to areas frequently touched, such as: light switches, hard  surfaces, dashboard, door handles, steering wheel and gear shifter.

All bedding is cleaned by laundry specialists at 60ºc.

We offer full support before your arrival via email or phone. We arrange all necessary administrative tasks before your arrival and answer questions to speed up the handover process and minimize contact.

We adapted our cancellation policy to provide enhanced support during these uncertain times:

If your flight is cancelled more than 48 hours before your booking, rest assured, we’ll reschedule your dates for another time that suits.

You will be issued a credit in the form of a voucher.

The credit voucher can only be used to rebook once and must be used by the end of 2021.

We are a small family business dedicated to providing quality experiences and memories. From these core values, we act with a compassionate response to all situations.

We offer you the adventure of a lifetime. It’s time to slow down and enjoy the journey. To learn how to appreciate where you are, who you’re with and where you’re going.

Siesta Campers - COVID 19

We updated our policy for your safety and peace of mind...

We each have our own parenting survival strategies, carefully crafted and structured over time around a steady routine, so how could this possibly fit into a campervan? How will your kids sleep without their usual 6.30pm bath, familiar beds, books and mobile chimes? More often, opting for the comfort of a hotel or Airbnb, with rooms, doors and the screen nanny, a place where you can easily pack up your routines and adapt them to another building, feels like the easier option.

I’ve been restoring vintage VW buses and building new T6 campers for almost 20 years with my partner Loyd.  We have also been fortunate to experience many family road trips with our two daughters. Even though they have now grown from babies to teens, we all still love the feeling of packing up the basics  into a little home and driving off to either an old familiar favourite cove or roaming to discover new pastures. There is underrated freedom that comes from the lack of routine. Life in a campervan also provides a great opportunity to bond as you and your family navigate through practical yet simple tasks. At the end of a calm yet exhilarating day, there is a real joy and ease in bedding down in a small cosy space together. Children and babies seem to sleep very well in our buses, thriving in close proximity. As adults, we are blissfully released from being plugged into our habitual daily technological pacifiers, allowing us to truly be with our families and live in the moment.

How to road trip with your family in 7 simple steps:

Our campers are very well equipped. We provide everything you will need for a comfortable camping experience including cutlery, glasses, plates, bowls, warm bedding, cleaning supplies and much more. You will need a lot less than you think when you are out on the road and it helps to have less luggage to live with in these compact spaces. Cases can be stored under the beds in the Atlantic T6 campers. Soft bags are much better than the rigid hard suitcases. We can store any oversized items such as pushchairs at our base to make your camping experience comfortable and hassle-free.

There is a double bed at the top and at the bottom in all of our family campers. Behind the back seat there is a space that becomes a safe and cosy cot  for smaller children ideal for afternoon naps leaving your main living space functional. In the classics, the slow pace of life combines perfectly with soft, colourful interiors to create a cosy camping experience for young  families. Our Siesta Atlantic T6 campers allow for an optional sleeping arrangement for a 5th family member, with an additional cab bunk bed for your smallest child.

All our campers are fitted with a shade over the side sliding door, extending your living space. In the classic campers, this is a small clip on canvas. On the modern vans this is a pullout awning. These truly do change the feel and up the comfort level no matter the camping location.

We provide a table that can fit inside, however you will be most likely to dine outside. If you seat your smaller children on the edge of the sliding door, with your table alongside, they will be at a perfect, safe and stable height to dine with you. They also cannot escape before the meal is over! We can also provide high chairs for the younger campers.

All our T6 and T2 VW campers are suitably low to allow you entry into height restriction areas including some beach carparks and supermarkets. You can park where you need to be without having to haul all your beach supplies too far. You will have the freedom of easy maneuverability that only a compact camper can provide, so you can explore the many narrow streets in historic towns and easily travel down one way roads to access remote beaches. Easy parking is a real bonus for a family beach day!

Portuguese culture thoroughly embraces children! It is perfectly normal to be out with your children and babies in restaurants, cafes and bars until whatever hour you wish. Restaurants are very accustomed to providing high chairs for your babies or toddlers and are usually very happy to accommodate any special requests.

We have designed some of our T6 Atlantic campers for families of 5. You can switch off the airbags if your child is in the front in a car seat. In the new Atlantic campers the back bench seat is crash tested for safety and has 3 x 3 point seat belts. We can supply car seats that fit this safely. The classic campers have one 3 point seat and one lap belt. It is possible to safely secure 2 carseats here.

In the end, traveling lighter, with less to worry about will allow for a deeper, more meaningful trip with your loved ones. Dedicate more time to spending quality time together and less planning. Let Siesta Campers worry about the details and let the journey begin!
