Come stay. Leave with an album.

A writing and recording sanctuary for signed musicians.
30 minutes from Lisbon, surrounded by silence.
Built for presence, not pressure.

For publishers and managers looking to give their artists real creative space.

The Groove House is such an inspiring, relaxed place. We were looking for somewhere chilled, in beautiful country surroundings, to reconnect and focus on new songs without the distractions of city life. Gennaro provided us with that, and a lot more: great mics, full drum kit, guitars, and space to spread out and experiment. Thirty minutes to the beach, the airport, and Lisbon…we’ll be back!
