Nestled on the banks of the River Laboreiro, we find this old mill that is part of the ‘Moinhos do Poço Verde’ (Poço Verde Mills)!
It has been restored to comfortably welcome all those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and allow themselves to be lulled by the sound of the cool waters of the Laboreiro River, which once turned the millstones that skilfully ground not only cereals but also cocoa. This is because this mill supported the grinding needs of the chocolate factory that existed in the same place, dating from the early 20th century.
Well equipped and comfortably decorated, it invites long conversations by the fireplace in winter or, in summer, a refreshing dip in the Laboreiro River or the natural pools of Poço Verde, located next to this mill, which gave its name to this place.
Featuring a kitchenette with fridge, electric hob and microwave, a living room with sofa bed and fireplace, and a bathroom with shower, it is fully equipped for a peaceful and comfortable stay. Climb the iron stairs to find the mezzanine with a double bed and a balcony overlooking the floor below, and let yourself be carried away by the sound of the river flowing outside!
For your comfort and convenience, it also has a smart TV and free Wi-Fi.
A short distance away is the village of Castro Laboreiro, with its rich archaeological and landscape heritage, which easily captivates those who feel at home in nature. The nearby trails lead guests to discover the rich biodiversity of the National Park, making this accommodation the perfect place for hiking enthusiasts.
Here you will undoubtedly find a sheltered place of pure freedom and well-being, a serene refuge to relax, a testament to the ability to preserve the past while embracing the present, in short, a true treasure within the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
This mill shares the beauty of the place with another old mill, which has also been restored. The two can be rented individually or together and exclusively.
Come relax and enjoy all that Castro Laboreiro has to offer!
