Dornes is a truly enchanting village, a true hidden gem in Portugal, famous for its picturesque location on a peninsula that juts out into the spectacular Albufeira do Castelo do Bode. This large dam and the resulting lake create a breathtaking landscape, and Dornes is one of the most charming spots.
The village is dominated by its iconic Pentagonal Tower, a unique medieval fortification that stands majestically offering panoramic views of the water and surrounding hills.
