Main House

A Home of Comfort & Connection

The Main House offers 8 rooms on the first floor, accommodating up to 16 guests. For larger groups, we are happy to explore arrangements for additional spaces. Retreat organizers may also have access to a private, two-room area on the ground floor, offering added convenience and privacy.

Catrinandes is proud to be wheelchair-friendly, with a residential elevator in the main house to ensure accessibility for all guests.

All communal areas are on the ground floor; a welcoming lounge with a wood-burning stove invites relaxation, while the communal kitchen and dining area provide the perfect space for gathering, sharing meals, and connections.

Our guest rooms

Each of our 8 rooms is thoughtfully designed for your comfort and relaxation. All rooms feature heating, air conditioning, a wardrobe, high-quality memory foam mattresses, and luxurious Portuguese-made blankets. Premium linens, seasonal duvets, and soft pillows ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.  


We offer 6 bathrooms for your convenience - 5 are ensuite, providing added privacy for 6 rooms, while the remaining 2 rooms share a spacious bathroom located nearby. All bathrooms include hair dryers, along with fresh bath and face towels.  


Each room is uniquely styled with simplicity and care, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Four rooms offer breathtaking views of the Caramulo Mountain range, perfect for sunset gazing, while the others face a serene forest area, where gentle sunrises greet you each morning.  


At Catrinandes, every detail has been lovingly curated to offer a space for deep rest, ease, and true reconnection with yourself.

Every detail has been considered to support your retreat experience, making meal preparation both practical and inspiring - a space where nourishment begins.

Dining Area

Our communal dining haven is a space where shared moments, whether lively or in peaceful silence, take center stage. At its heart is a beautifully crafted oval table, elegantly stretching up to 4.5 meters to seat up to 18 guests. This timeless centerpiece reflects the connection and wisdom nurtured during retreats with us.

Designed to bring people together, this versatile and inviting space is ideal for sharing meals, heartfelt conversations, and creating lasting memories. Come and experience the warmth and togetherness that make Catrinandes truly special.

Lounge Area

Our serene lounge is designed for relaxation and connection. At its heart is a stunning green sofa with two chaise longues, perfectly placed to invite you to rest and unwind. Let the wood-burning stove become your "flat screen," with the soothing crackle of firewood and the dance of flames enhancing your sense of peace and relaxation. 

The lounge also offers a quieter corner for intimate conversations or enjoying a book from our collection. During warmer months, open the doors to welcome the beauty of ancient olive trees into your renewing experience and fresh air. Connecting to outdoor seating on both sides of the house, this area is designed to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect.

Just two steps from the main house lies the Rose Hall, a serene yoga shala and multi-purpose space for group activities. This 60 sqm retreat sanctuary, with two washrooms and stunning views of the surroundings brings nature into your practice through its expansive windows. Fully equipped with eco-friendly yoga props and other essentials, the Rose Hall complements the restful charm of the main house.

Catrinandes can be booked either self-catered or you can opt for full vegan/vegetarian organic fresh food provided by our talented team.


For deeper relaxation and renewal, take advantage of on-site therapies, including massages, Reiki, and Akashic records healing. Or, immerse yourself in the artistry of a pottery workshop with Molelos Black Clay Pottery artists—a creative experience that ties the beauty of tradition to your retreat.  

At Catrinandes, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect, recharge, and feel at hOMe.
