Imagine sleeping in a treehouse right in the middle of Gerês…
Here’s a little spoiler: sleeping in a treehouse in Gerês is much more than spending the night somewhere — it’s about living in harmony with nature in an intimate, special way. And at Quinta Lamosa, that experience becomes even more enchanting.
The Treehouse makes you feel like part of the landscape. Suspended above the ground and surrounded by century-old trees, you’ll feel isolated from the world — yet still right inside Peneda-Gerês National Park. It’s the best of both worlds: far from everything and close to everything.
Access is via a small wooden bridge crossing a peaceful stream, creating a magical and unexpected entrance. Inside (and outside) these four walls, time slows down and every detail invites relaxation — the perfect setting for a stay focused on comfort.
Step inside the Treehouse
Built from spruce wood and raised two meters above the ground, it combines rustic charm with the comfort of a modern home.
Inside, you’ll find two cozy bedrooms, a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private bathroom. The outdoor balcony invites you to relax while overlooking the oak forest surrounding the property. And because the experience should be truly complete, the Treehouse also includes air conditioning, fiber internet, and television.
