The Grove Houses: An enchanted retreat where time stands still

Antonio Vidigal by Antonio Vidigal
The Grove Houses: An enchanted retreat where time stands still

Located in the heart of Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal, The Grove Houses is more than just accommodation — it is a magical retreat where romance, nature and comfort coexist in perfect harmony. Originally built in the early 20th century as a holiday home for a merchant and industrialist from the Vale do Ave, the property has remained in the same family to this day.

Now transformed into an exclusive tourism destination, The Grove Houses invites guests for an unforgettable stay in two distinct buildings — Casa da Penha, with three bedrooms, and Casa do Jardineiro, with six — both nestled within a romantic 4-hectare garden, officially recognized as part of Portugal’s Historic Gardens.

Its woodland, listed as a public interest site since 2019, features winding granite pathways where rabbits, squirrels, and birds are often spotted, creating a truly immersive nature experience.

Each house has its own unique atmosphere, offering a warm, elegant, and relax setting. Casa do Jardineiro can be booked either in full or partially, making it ideal for family moments, gatherings with friends, or professional stays. Casa da Penha, on the other hand, stands out for its beautiful common areas — a reading room, a dining room with a stone balcony, and a cozy fireplace — perfect for moments of pure relaxation.

The Grove Houses also hosts unique events, from intimate garden celebrations to private dinners, meetings, or even art exhibitions. Its versatile spaces and stunning natural surroundings offer an unmatched setting.

For those seeking memorable experiences, the property also offers tailored picnics in charming corners of the garden, as well as guided outdoor tours, available to both guests and the general public upon reservation.

The Grove Houses is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the beauty of a place where every detail tells a story.

Convento de Cabanas – A rarest form of luxury
