About this property

A Refuge in Nature and Mountains

Located in Canelas, Arouca, very close to the Paiva Walkways, the 516 Pedestrian Bridge (one of the largest suspended pedestrian bridges in the world), the Trilobite Museum, the Vau and Areinho River Beaches, and a few kilometres from the centre of Arouca and the Serra da Freita mountain range. The house is prepared for 6 people, has a private pool, air conditioning, and internet. It has magnificent views, ideal for those who want to be peaceful and in harmony with nature.

It was designed for people to enjoy unique moments in harmony with nature. It was completely restored, maintaining and respecting its architecture, reusing materials whenever possible, always thinking about the preservation of the natural environment. For us, nature is "A Greater Good" that we must value and protect, living in harmony with it.

The house, the pool, and the surrounding garden are private, for the exclusive use of the guests who book the property. The house is rented in its entirety regardless of the number of guests who book it, with no shared spaces with other people.

Inside the house you will find a book with information about various nearby places you can visit (museums, river beaches, historical sites, etc.) and local services (restaurants, cafes, mini-markets, bakeries, pharmacies, etc.).
