1. Rustic Rondavel with Wood-burner & Sauna – Long-stay Winter Retreat

Our rustic wooden Rondavel offers a truly unique stay in central Portugal – a circular cottage with isolated wooden walls, cozy wood-burner, and views stretching over the valley and orchards of our one-hectare quinta. It’s the perfect retreat for winter stays, remote work, or simply slowing down in nature.

Inside, the Rondavel has a comfortable double bedroom plus an extra room that can be set up as a children’s bedroom or a small home office, making it flexible for families or longer stays. The living space includes a private bathroom and a simple kitchen area for self-catering, while outside you’ll find a private terrace and firepit.

Guests also share access to our pool area with an authentic Finnish-style wood-fired sauna, outdoor hot tub, and a game house with pool table. Firewood for the sauna, hot tub, and fireplaces can be rented per use or included with a monthly upgrade for unlimited access.

Located just 20 minutes from Nazaré – home of the world’s biggest waves – and 10 minutes from the historic town of Alcobaça, the Rondavel combines rural peace with easy access to Portugal’s coast and culture. Surrounded by orchards, gardens, and forested hills, this is an ideal setting for writers, families, couples, or digital nomads looking to overwinter in comfort and tranquility.
