Description
This property was created for guests who love nature and relaxation. Surrounded in the lush vegetation of the Vouga Valley, it is a large, minimalist space, with strong lines and large windows overlooking acres of greenery.

The hotel was created with a sustainable ethos, using natural materials such as wood and stone. Energy is produced via solar panels and energy-saving lamps are used throughout the property.
