Close to it all. Far from the noise.
Rua do Bicão is where the village ends and the forest begins. Restaurants are 3 minutes away on foot, and the nights are quiet.
Here, time slows down. And so do you.

Why the spiral
Koru is the Māori name for a young fern frond still curled up. It stands for protection, eternity, friendship and personal growth. It is the spiral in our logo.
“A terrifying amount of peace.”
