ESCAPE TO NATURE MADE EASY
A BRANDA
Crafted from natural materials and inspired by the traditional mountain shelters of northern Portugal, this eco-friendly tiny house rental in Northern Portugal — A Branda — is a cozy retreat designed for stillness, simplicity and deep rest.
Nestled in the hills of Sabadim, just outside Arcos de Valdevez, this tiny house blends rustic charm with modern comfort — offering two queen-size beds, a full kitchen, and an outdoor fire area to slow-cook dinner under the stars.
Every detail invites you to unplug and reconnect with the rhythms of nature. Wake up to birdsong, walk the nearby eco trail, or simply breathe in the silence of the Peneda-Gerês landscape.

Slow living starts here
SLEEP WELL, WAKE HAPPY
Both beds in A Branda are queen-size, with hotel-quality mattresses and soft cotton linen.
One is nestled in the mezzanine, the other on the ground level — both equally cozy and designed for a deep, peaceful sleep.
Open the windows and let the morning light in — or stay under the blankets a little longer. This is your time.
Every detail invites you to unplug and reconnect with the rhythms of nature. Wake up to birdsong, walk the nearby eco trail, or simply breathe in the silence of the Peneda-Gerês landscape.
COOK, PLAY, UNPLUG
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need — and some lovely surprises.
Cook a simple meal indoors, or head outside and use the fire pit to make grilled veggies or homemade pizza under the stars.
Inside, you’ll find board games, books and cozy nooks to rest or play.
There’s Wi-Fi if you really need it… but we recommend forgetting your phone for a while.
MEET THE NEIGHBOURS
Sometimes, the only traffic here is a herd of local cows walking past — or a wild horse appearing in the distance.
A Branda is part of a small rural community where life moves slowly and nature is respected.
You might hear the rooster in the morning, meet a shepherd at sunset, or simply watch the clouds roll over the mountains.
This is the simple joy of countryside living.
