Your Sunny Retreat at the Barefoot House – Space, Comfort & Inspiring Views

Welcome to the most spacious and light-filled room in the Barefoot House — a peaceful retreat designed for comfort, creativity, and slow living. With its generous layout and two large windows, the room is bathed in natural light throughout the day and offers beautiful views of the side garden and the breathtaking Ribeira d’Ilhas Valley.

You’ll sleep soundly in the kingsize bed and enjoy the privacy of your own bathroom. A large built-in closet provides plenty of storage, while a cozy sofa-bed* invites you to unwind with a book or host an extra guest. The vintage wooden desk, once belonging to my granddad, adds a touch of heritage and makes for an inspiring workspace — perfect for writing, working, or simply gazing at the majestic Jacaranda tree outside.

*The sofa-bed can be used for an additional €25 per night.
