A creative house in the hills—yours for the week.

For retreats, offsites, or just space to think.
A place where ideas get clear.


30 mins from Lisbon airport. Surrounded by silence. Built for presence, not pressure. For those who need an inspiring space — and time away from the noise.

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!

The Sunset Cove

A secluded open-air cove carved into the hillside. Protected from wind, open to the horizon.

A crackling fire. A circle in the sand. Complete silence—except for birdsong and the distant rustle of trees.

This is where evenings slow down. Where people open up. Where creative retreats often begin and end.

The Sunset Lounge

A warm, intimate indoor space with epic valley views—ideal for group sessions, deep conversations, acoustic music, or shared meals.

Upright piano, guitars, amps. 4 satellite speakers + 3 subwoofers for immersive sound. All neatly wired and always ready—no clutter, no cables in sight.

The Bassment

A fully sound-isolated room downstairs. Huge Yamaha PA with deep sub, electric piano, and Fender bass amp. A second drum kit with a different feel.

Can be used independently or synced with the Lounge above — multiple room setups possible, including live recording or spatial performance layouts.
