Villa Pedra Natural Houses Retreat

About This Retreat

Situated on a slope of Serra do Sicó in the Beiras region of Portugal, this village had been abandoned for over 70 years. Discovered and resurrected by a group of friends that were charmed by its unique beauty and idyllic location, the entire village of 10 houses was restored and brought back to life. Carefully respecting the spirit of the region and the historic aesthetics of the structures, traditional handcrafting and construction techniques were used to recover and showcase the authentic character of the houses.

It’s a contemporary but faithful renovation that uses traditional limestone block walls, and bright whitewashed interiors with gleaming concrete floors. Add an eclectic mix of mid-century furnishings, and a handpicked selection of ethnic objets d’art from around the world, and it’s a fascinating mix. Each of the houses features fully-equipped kitchens and sleeps between two to five guests.

The restaurant provides simple and delicious locally-sourced fare nightly from a rotating menu and a few breakfast snacks in the mornings. The extensive rambling gardens and terraces offer plenty of fresh air and unspoiled country vistas and a lovely shared pool. You can watch the swans and ducks on the small lake and enjoy fresh eggs from the house chickens.

This is a truly unique retreat where you can embrace the concept of peace and serenity of the country life with stylish contemporary comforts.
