More Than a Place to Stay There are places we visit. And then there are places that allow us to pause. Our home in Gaula, Madeira, is a small sanctuary for those who want to step away from the noise and experience the island at a slower, more personal rhythm. Wake up to ocean views. Have your morning coffee beneath the fig and banana trees. Walk beside the little Levada next to the house. Practise yoga. Explore the island. Cook your own meals. Rest. There is no fixed retreat schedule and no pressure to participate in everything. You simply have the space to be.

A 7-day wellness experience to slow down, reconnect and simply breathe.

YOUR HOME IN MADEIRA

Within approximately five minutes walking distance you can find: • Grocery shop • Café/bar • Pharmacy • Bus stop From the house, you can enjoy views towards the ocean, Ponta de São Lourenço and, on clear days, the Desertas Islands.

We have two cosy rooms available, each with a slightly different atmosphere. 🌿 Spacious Attic Room A generous-sized room with a warm, cosy and peaceful atmosphere. The Wi-Fi signal is a little weaker here, making it particularly suitable if you are looking for a place to disconnect, rest and enjoy the surroundings. 🌱 Garden Room A smaller and very cosy room with private access directly to the garden. Surrounded by greenery, fig and banana trees, it offers a stronger Wi-Fi connection and is therefore more suitable if you need to work remotely or have online meetings. Shared spaces The large bathroom and living room are shared. You also have access to your own fully furnished kitchen, giving you the freedom to prepare your meals and enjoy your days at your own rhythm.
