For those who value quiet landscapes, local character, and a more personal way of travelling, this new place is being prepared as a calm retreat in northern Portugal — a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the region at a gentler pace.

A new place,
inspired by simple
and meaningful stays

Currently being prepared, this rural house is designed for guests looking for authenticity, comfort, and a closer connection to the surrounding landscape and culture

More than just a place to sleep, it is imagined as a welcoming base for discovering the rhythm of northern Portugal — its nature, villages, traditions, food, and quiet beauty.

With a warm and personal hosting style, this future stay is meant for travellers who appreciate sincerity over excess, atmosphere over noise, and places with a human touch.

A warm welcome
begins with the people

Behind this new project is a host couple known for making guests feel genuinely welcome.

After years of creating positive guest experiences in their previous lodging, they now begin a new chapter in northern Portugal, bringing with them the same warmth, friendliness, and personal attention that guests appreciated before.

Their way of hosting is simple and sincere: being available when needed, offering thoughtful local suggestions, and helping each stay feel comfortable, relaxed, and human.

This is not about formal hospitality.
It is about receiving people with care.

* Heidi & Christophe

The hosts are exceptional people and do everything to ensure that everything is to your liking.

Vila Nova de Cerveira

Vila Nova de Cerveira offers a rare mix of river, ocean, mountains, and culture in one of northern Portugal’s most distinctive settings. Set by the River Minho, close to the Atlantic coast, connected to the Caminho da Costa de Santiago de Compostela, and surrounded by the character of Alto Minho’s hills and mountain landscapes, it is a peaceful and inspiring base for discovering the region at a slower pace.
