Here's what one of our cherished guests shared:

10/10 and would rate more if I could! We stayed at Magnus' place for 10 days with our family. The house and its surroundings are absolutely stunning, offering everything we hoped for and more. Magnus' responsiveness and Joao's kindness as our local host were unparalleled. I could go on for hours about our delightful stay. We're eagerly planning to book again and highly recommend this heavenly retreat to everyone. Truly, it's heaven on earth ❤️'"

The pond: a relaxing corner for evening unwinding

Our lovely pond is a calm spot where you can hear frogs and see Koi fish gliding through the water. It's the perfect place to enjoy a drink or a beer in the late afternoon.

Beaches near the house: the Atlantic´s wild beauty

Just 10 mins drive from our house, the beaches here are a window to the wild Atlantic Ocean. Here, the water may be cooler than the Mediterranean, but it's also more magnificent, with dramatic cliffs framing the powerful waves. These beaches are never too crowded, offering a peaceful escape for anyone looking to soak up the sun, surf the perfect wave, or take a refreshing swim.

Watch the surfers ride the waves or lose yourself in the soothing sight of the ocean's rhythm. We have a special morning ritual – grabbing a coffee at the local café by Praia Sao Juliao or along the boardwalk at Foz do Lizandro. It's moments like these, with the sea's vastness in front of us, that we're reminded of nature's simple joys.
