Brunch in Chillum with a view 🥐
And it looks like our dear guests already found out an important vanlife hack: use as least dishes as possible! 😄
This is your sign to tell your bestie you’re going on a roadtrip together! ✨ good news: we still have last minute availability for september!
Email us to [email protected] to reserve your van!
Chillum in the wild!
Vanlife romance at its finest! ♥️
Postcards from Miss M‘s latest adventure!
Looks like she had the best time again 🫶🏼
We love receiving your vantrip snapshots at the end of your stay with us - allowing us these sneak peak into the magical moments you’ve had.
Traffic in the Algarve 🐐
Reminding us to take it slow, take a deep breath, smile at life’s interference and to go but local goat sheep soon 😄
Have you ever been in this kind of traffic jam? ⬇️
Getting ready to surf and waxing your board…
Early in the morning for sunrise?
Or at the end of the day for sunset?
Which waves do you ride? 🌊⬇️
Things to do when you visit Portugal:
• eat pastel de natas (lots of them) with a little bica (espresso) in one of the typical local snack bars
• greet the locals with ‘bom dia’ and ‘boa tarde’ and practice you’re (probably very bad) Portuguese with them
• take a stroll through Lagos or any other cute little town and admire the different coloured and patterned tiles on the old houses!
Let us know… have you done these things during your stay with us?! 🥰⬇️
Our superstar in red Chillum is off to a new adventure with these two! 🥳
We love it when couples decide to go for the vanlife! Who says a romantic holiday needs to be hotel sheets and whirlpools? When you can have the rays of sunsets and rises with the door open in bed on your face, secluded beaches just for you and secret camping spot in wild nature?
That’s a different kind of romantic!
Lucky Miss M! Gets to travel with these three charismatic Italian ladies for the next days. Have an amazing time, girls! 💙
Bye bye guys! 👋🏼🌞
Time to say good bye to another happily family whose time in one of our Snailys has come to an end.
Very last minute they’ve ended up with our van Migaloo - which actually is a great choice for a family of four!
Migaloo has lots of sleeping and seating space and is, as all of our vans, standing height!
Thank you guys for your stay with us and see you next time!

Let us introduce you properly to Bokito ♥️
Strong and muscular he has taken 6 girls with him on his trip down to Portugal. We don’t necessarily advise Bokito to travel with 6 but it is possible ;-)
He has 2 two person beds, an upper bed of 180x130 and a lower bed which is 160x170. The lower bed appears when you convert the couch into it.
He is of course furnished with all of the necessary items which you will need for your trip.
Bokito has a lot of live and storage room and drives just as ‘smooth’ as a Mercedez should.

Bokito enjoying the view!
Underneath the shade of cork and olive trees it’s always a great idea to stop for a little scenery break.
And in case you fancy a coffee or snack… your kitchen is right with you!

Be quick to grab this special summer deal and choose your favourite van for your road trip along the portuguese coast line!
Check out www.snailhousecampervans.com and send an email to [email protected] for bookings.
Looking forward to meeting you guys! ♥️🐌
Foggy, cloudy west coast days…
Can be a a blessing during the hot portuguese summer!
Living in the Algarve can feel like being in two different countries at times:
The south coast with little wind and sunshine non stop
And the west coast with sea mist and fog in the morning.
The choice is yours! 🤗
Sunday sunset time 🧡
