With two rustic country houses, beds for up to 20 guests, shared kitchens, and breathtaking views over the valley, this sanctuary invites groups, creatives, and retreat-goers to breathe deeper, rest longer, and feel more present. The Space: Abrigo dos Maias blends simplicity, nature, and community in perfect harmony. The property includes two beautifully restored stone houses that preserve their rural soul while offering the comfort of modern amenities. Inside, the earthy tones of granite walls meet cozy wooden details, creating a welcoming and grounded atmosphere. The sleeping arrangements are perfect for group stays, featuring bunk beds and single beds spread throughout spacious shared rooms. Altogether, up to 20 guests can be accommodated comfortably. Whether it’s a yoga retreat, a creative workshop, or a long-overdue gathering of friends, the layout supports connection: a large communal kitchen, multiple dining spaces, open lounges, and quiet corners for reflection. And outside? Vines, fruit trees, wild paths, a private waterfall, and the endless Douro landscape set the mood for grounding and awe. Guest Access: All house space and amenities are included in this booking. Feel completely at home. Please note that there are common areas to be shared with other guests, such as the kitchen and the yoga room. The Neighborhood: Located in the peaceful hills of Mesquinhata, Baião, this is a world away from the city buzz. The surrounding area is known for its vineyards, ancient walking trails, and small, authentic villages where time seems to pause. You’re in Douro Verde, a region famous for nature, wine, and stillness. It’s the kind of place where silence speaks volumes, and the rhythm of nature invites you to slow down. Getting Around: Abrigo dos Maias is reachable by car. We highly recommend having a car. However, you will receive the GPS coordinates before the check-in.
