      It is a 15-minute drive from the town of São Jacinto and 43 km from the city of Aveiro. This building from the 60s is built on pillars above the water, and affords an up-close and special connection with nature.

The rooms are modern and decorated in warm, bright tones, and have a balcony with views of the gardens or the lagoon.

      The Pousada Ria has free bicycles at your disposal, which are typical in the area, for discovering the village, and you can leave your vehicle free of charge in the Pousada's car park.
