Casa Lenta, or “the slow house”, lives up to its name. Because as soon as you set foot on this piece of Portuguese land, surrounded by mountains and sea, it exudes peace, nature and more tranquility. Slow-living is the lifestyle here, the 'modo de vida', in which you are completely immersed. Everything here is about taking a breath, leaving your busy schedule behind and enjoying, here and now, in this moment.

Rest is nice, very nice. But the eye also wants something, and it gets it. Âmago – Casa Lenta has six bedrooms, all equally beautiful. Combine modern design, sleek white walls and tropical plants with carefully selected terracotta shades and voila, you have a perfectly styled guesthouse with a wonderful natural vibe. That one modern meets natural atmospheres extend beyond just the bedrooms. In the garden, the fuchsia pink flowers stand out strongly against the whitewashed walls. If you know you know. Add some olive trees, cacti, white parasols and stark white striped bath towels and you're there. It doesn't get more Portuguese.
