Our History

An immersion in the peace of the mountains

In the heart of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park lies Salto do Lobo, a charming retreat created by acclaimed Portuguese writer António Alçada Baptista. This magical place was designed to offer moments of peace and harmony amidst nature.

For over 100 years, the Baptista family has owned this stunning area, and in the 1960s, António Alçada built rustic houses on the banks of the Ribeira das Cortes. These houses were designed to seamlessly integrate with the landscape, preserving the existing rocks and respecting the terrain's morphology. Every stone, every tree, every detail was carefully considered to create a unique and authentic atmosphere.

“The location was a dream, the house is beautiful, the people who hosted us were truly warm and pleasant. I will always remember this trip with a smile.”

“An excellent place for a mental retreat, amidst nature with beautiful landscapes. A place worth visiting more than once. Highly recommend.”

"Lovely place. Very spacious. The owner of the house was very attentive and welcoming. The only downside is that the house is quite cold, but there are heaters in the bedrooms and living room, which make the rooms more comfortable. A stay different from what we've had before, great for those looking for something more rustic. Easy access, close to the tower, with a river passing behind the house. Highly recommend."
