Come stay. Leave with an album.

A writing and recording sanctuary for signed musicians.
30 mins from Lisbon airport.

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!

Book a Residency

This space is for signed bands, artists, and their teams. Whether you’re writing, rehearsing, or recording—share a bit about your project, who’s coming, and what you’d like the week to feel like.

 

In the age of algorithmic music, real presence is a revolution. This is a house that listens back.

Epic views over a natural valley. Real piano. Drum kit. Surround sound and 3 subwoofers. Underfloor heating. Wood-burning fireplace.

Permanently wired to the mixer—just press record and forget. No setup. No cables in sight. The tech disappears. The vibe doesn’t.

A cosy soundproof room for full-volume freedom—record or jam without ever disturbing the house above.

Massive subwoofer and full-range PA system you can feel. Electric piano, second drum kit, Fender Rumble bass amp. Dimly lit, tuned for focus.

Fully wired into the Sunset Lounge upstairs. Record both rooms together, or isolate them completely. Endless creative setups. Total sonic control.

The Sunset Cove

Crackling fire. Endless views. Total stillness.

This hidden outdoor nook is shaped like a natural amphitheatre — open to the valley, protected by earth.

Surrounded by wild silence and golden skies, it’s one of those rare places where songs often appear by themselves.Ideal for sunset listening, writing, or reconnecting with the reason you make music.
