Get in Touch

Hosts: Paulo, Marta & Luisa

We are a a family of 3 (plus the cat Dominó and chickens Chicka and Carol :-), a couple of architects from Portugal with a strong environmental consciousness.

Paulo has a 25+ years experience on multiple areas of design, having worked for a consultancy multinational of the City of London for many years prior to moving back from southern England to northern Portugal; Marta is an Urban Design expert, working on the private and public sector accross Portugal and the UK, now both living on the countryside of Vila Nova de Cerveira, Portugal, aka the village of the Arts, with their daughter Luísa.

We have become fully aware of the importance of learning something new each day, transforming it into principles of action and applying them daily as much as possible. Continuous learning, permanent activity – close to and in balance with Mother Nature – and breathing clean air while practising what you preach are the key to a healthy living. Surrounded by lush, leafy Nature in pristine conditions at this Aldeia de Portugal® – Covas.

Give yourself a break and try the power of slow living and contemplation, bringing awareness and healthy pleasure to your life.

Hence the name of this place:

Casa do Lento, the Slow House.
