Retreat, not rental
The house is the reason you go
Casoneta finds places in Portugal and Galicia where two or three days spent at the property is the trip — a converted mill, a glass house in the pines, a working vineyard you wake up inside. Every one comes with an honest brief: what there is to do without leaving, who it suits, what to know before you book, and a direct link to the owner's own booking page.
Three kinds of house
Every place here is one of three things, and only one. Pick the one that sounds like your week.
Reimagined Places
Buildings that used to be something else.
Architectural Escapes
Houses where the architecture is the reason to come.
Experience-Led Stays
One thing on the property sets the shape of the week.
Featured stays
Houses worth the drive, the flight and the week off.
The first houses go up shortly. Leave an email and they will reach you as they do.
Collections
Ways in, if you already know the shape of the trip: wine country, big groups, water you can swim in from the steps, a pool worth planning around.
The first collections open shortly.
Where these houses are
Portugal — mainland, Madeira and the Azores — and Galicia, across the northern border. Tight on purpose: we would rather know two places properly than list twenty.
