Casa Ruiva - Boutique Retreat with Pool

Casa Ruiva is my escape from city life, now available for those seeking rest with comfort and soul in the West of Portugal. Once a 13th-century inn, it’s now a 3 bedroom house with a guest annex, a pool, a garden with fruit trees, and vineyard views. Perfect for couples, families or friends. New deck, air conditioning, and renovated pool in 2025. Between the beaches of Baleal and Peniche, and historic towns like Óbidos or Nazaré. Comfort, authenticity and nature, all for an unforgettable holiday The space Updates for 2025 - New deck in the outdoor and pool area, much more beautiful and comfortable. - Central air conditioning (hot and cold) throughout the house. The Atelier has a portable air conditioner. - New pool water filtration system and updated vinyl lining. Clearer water and a more comfortable pool. - The kitchen oven has been replaced with a new one. Casa Ruiva is my weekend, holiday, and retreat home when I escape from Lisbon. I live 45 minutes away, in Lisbon, and I am passionate about travel and architecture — the result is this house, full of soul and personality. At Casa Ruiva, you will find a village house decorated in an original Mediterranean style with natural, locally sourced materials. I love beautiful, cozy homes with character. Casa Ruiva consists of the main house, the atelier, and a fantastic garden with a pool — all exclusively for the guests. In the main house, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a complete bathroom with a shower, a small bedroom with two single beds (one is a bunk bed, 1.70m in length, ideal for children), and the master bedroom on the first floor with a double bed and stunning views of the vineyards and the century-old chapel of our neighbor’s estate. The Atelier, full of charm, features a cozy suite with a double bed and a small bathroom. Every booking, regardless of the number of guests, guarantees exclusive access to the house and the garden. The garden, in addition to 300m² of lawn, fruit trees, and inspiring little shrines, has an 80m² sun-drenched deck (shielded from the wind — essential when it's windy at the beach) with a pool, an outdoor dining table with six chairs, a sun umbrella, and canvas chairs for lounging in the sun. The scent of fruit and flowers is ever-present... You’ll find regional fruit trees (pears, peaches, apples, lemons, and loquats) and seven-meter-tall bamboo. At Casa Ruiva, I hope you’ll enjoy a memorable holiday in a home unlike the usual accommodations found on booking platforms — a lived-in, authentic house unafraid to showcase its old and rustic origins! I would love to welcome you, show you the house, and share tips and suggestions about attractions and places in the region!
