The perfect mountain retreat

With a large balcony and a stunning view over the Cerdeira’s Brook valley, the Casa da Árvore is ideal for those who want nature’s colors dictate their inspiration.

The entrance door on the ground floor leads directly into a social area with a kitchen, a dining table, and a welcoming living area with a wood burner, an armchair, and a sofa bed.

Through the stairs, you reach the second floor with a double bed, a bathroom, and another balcony, from where you can see the natural pool.

With the artistic creations of António Fernandes and Vanda Vilela, nature is present in this house in a unique way.

Like all the other houses in Cerdeira, the Casa da Árvore has been restored using ecological and regional materials and favoring the use of local contractors. All houses have central heating and offer great comfort both in winter and summer. In the kitchen, you will find basic staples such as salt, sugar, spices, olive oil, and vinegar. To guarantee that you make the most out of the village’s quietness, we have chosen not to install TVs or radio in any of the houses.

You can make your stay even more special by booking one of our creative experiences or joining one of the workshops we host throughout the year.
