Surrounded by privacy and designed with great care and attention to detail, as soon as you open the gate, you are struck by the magic of the place and its iconic “Penedo” (rock), which lends its name to this accommodation.

The outdoor space has been designed and organised so that you can enjoy a rejuvenation of all your senses, surrounded by the sound of water flowing in the stream, the breeze rustling the leaves on the trees and the birds singing, inviting us to listen to their meditative melody. A forest just for you awaits...With native trees, an old wood-fired oven and a small wooden hut for the little ones, this little corner of nature is your exclusive retreat!
This is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and return feeling lighter and deeply relaxed!

comfort, cosy, and quiet Excellent place to relax with family and friends We have great moments feeling like home. The area is quiet and close to the centre and roads
Outdoor living in a quiet area, a fabulous escape from the city where you can walk, hike, cook and relax outside in the quiet of nature. We spent a week that was too short, will definitely return as soon aspossible.
