At the entrance to the historic village of Castro Laboreiro, in the hamlet of Portelinha, we find Casa da Macheta.
This country house, typical of Castro Laboureiro and closely linked to rural customs, has seen an extensive renovation completely transform the existing dwelling, which included an animal guarding court and a hayloft, typical of the village way of life.
Today it has regained its splendour, and the traditional elements, such as the exposed stone walls and wide ceilings with bare wooden beams that remain as they were in ancient times, have been combined with the functionality and comfort of today, with an elegant rustic decoration that is very typical of the area.
Undoubtedly ideal for those seeking the peace and quiet of the countryside, the house offers a suite (private bathroom), a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, all of them centrally heated and carefully decorated with all the comforts to welcome small groups, families and children.
The calling card is a spacious open-plan living area, with a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room with fireplace, and generous glazed doors that provide a privileged view of the surroundings and flood the common space with light, creating a constant connection with nature.
Outside the house, there is a furnished patio with a barbecue, which invites you to dine al fresco while enjoying the tranquillity and views of the Laboreiro mountains beyond.
There is also a garage for two cars.
With the use of solar panels, it seeks to generate low environmental impact and low energy consumption, values that Casa da Macheta defends, seeking to promote a stay based on a sustainable relationship with nature, and committed to the preservation and conservation of Castro Laboreiro's historical and cultural heritage.
The residence's location is also privileged for those looking for the town of Melgaço, Monção or neighbouring Galicia, and excellent for discovering the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
Ideal for enjoying a few quiet days of relaxation, or for venturing out on the countless trails that reward you with beautiful waterfalls, idyllic landscapes and chance encounters with the local fauna.
Lose yourself in the tradition and gastronomy of Castro and in the vast archaeological and landscape heritage of what is one of Portugal's most beautiful villages.
Discover this refuge located in the far north of Alto Minho, where decoration gives way to nature and enjoying silence is imperative, and immerse yourself in an atmosphere that evokes memories of other times, discovering breathtaking landscapes!
