A green honeymoon haven in Portugal with beautiful wild swimming spots

When an email from Hannah dropped into my inbox, telling me about their green honeymoon package for their yurts, I was immediately grabbed by the opportunity for wild swimming  nearby.

Their romantic Mongolian yurts are nestled in the mountains of central Portugal, admist the family’s organically-run smallholding.  Surrounded by olive groves, vines and fruit trees, the yurts are beautifully furnished with private bathroom, eco loo and solar panels.

A romantic yurt hideaway in the Welsh Forest perfect for an eco honeymoon
