Your hosts
We are Diana and Jay — a Romanian and a British person who found in Portugal a place to call home.
With our children, Rex and Erica, and our Labradors Kaya and Sasha, we have built here a simple, welcoming and lively retreat, in the heart of the mountains of Arouca.
We love welcoming people from different parts of the world and sharing the peace, nature and authenticity of this very special place for us.
We hope you feel at home.
Where nature slows down time.
