Our big, cozy house is located in the valley of Santo Isidoro, right next to Ribeira d’Ilhas, a world-famous surf spot. The moment you enter our house, you can feel the special vibe and enjoy the spectacular views. The house has five rooms, all of which have a private bathroom and access to the common areas and facilities. Our rooms have just the right amount of classic luxury and a cozy, warm feel. Large windows bring natural light into every room, most of them with beautiful views of the Ribeira Valley. All rooms have a private bathroom, Wi-Fi, heating, and a table to get some work done.
The living room offers a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a big fridge. A tea and coffee corner with a good filter machine and grinder to make your freshly ground coffee. A big table in front of the fireplace to enjoy a good meal with your fellow housemates. A reading corner with lots of books and games and a big lounge sofa overlooking the Ribeira Valley and garden.
Attached to the house you will find our Barefoot Coworking, with 8 communal desks, good office chairs or stools and a separate phone booth for your private call or meeting. Find a seat at our communal table and join our Barefoot family. Need a break, fresh air or some inspiration. We have a beautiful garden looking out over the Ribeira Valley. A space to do yoga, meditation or your work out. Or get some waves in between meetings.
The garden has a veranda with inspiring valley views. Another grape-covered veranda with a barbecue and a huge Portuguese table. A pool with sunbeds and some cozy areas to chill. You can rinse off your salty and sandy feet in our outside shower and store your surf gear in the shed. And did we mention that it is only a 10-minute walk to Ribeira Beach and the world-famous surf spot?
We work with local partners to make our property a place to connect, explore, and learn. Think about gardening, pottery, yoga, climbing, mountain biking, and apnea training. But also enjoy our weekly Farm to the Table Dinners, where we support our love for seasonal and plant-based food.
At our place, we like to think about the environment and believe that we can make a difference together. The house has been completely renovated since 2021 and has a much better energy level now. We use a heat pump, have a charging station for your electric car, use eco-friendly cleaning and skin-care products, and much more.
