Hatch the
Perfect Sunset
Everyday you can see the sunset casting a golden glow over the rugged cliffs and vast expanse of the ocean.
You can see it from the cabin or a few steps away depending on the time of the year.
The Cabin
A Different Kind
of Egg-scape
45 min away from Lisbon, The cabin offers a chance to experience life off the beaten track, far from the usual tourist pecking order.
And depending on the mood of my chicken, you may find fresh eggs waiting for you in the kitchen when you check in…
A coop
of Wabi Sabi
The cabin was designed for one person, two, a couple or a couple with children up to 2 years old.
Furniture here tells a story - most of it was handcrafted. From the sturdy bed structure to the charming decor, every element of the cabin has been designed and curated not as a place to rent but as a place to saviour
A coop
of Character
The cabin feels comfortable and yet rustic and rough, much like a chicken's journey from egg to roost. Just as every peck in life leads to wisdom, each of the cabin’s items carries a tale of resilience and growth.
A coop
of Quality Time
Bathroom time should be more than just a routine - it should be quality time. Every detail in the bathroom has been thoughtfully hatched to create a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable and practical.
A coop
of Taste
Every vegetable, fish, or egg deserves to be respected. Much like a compact hen's nest the Cabin’s tiny kitchen is equipped with all the essential tools and appliances needed to bring any culinary vision to life.
A coop
of Connection
Finding the right balance between disconnecting from the hustle and bustle and staying connected when necessary is essential.
The Cabin offers Wi-Fi up to 500Mbps depending on the service levels of the internet provider.
A coop
of Warmth
The wood-heated hot tub is the perfect nest to truly unwind on a cool starry evening.
The cabin was design to be comfortable regardless of the weather, it has air conditioning for warmer days, radiant floor heating for colder nights, a heated towel hanger and a traditional wood oven to keep you cosy.
A coop
of Cosiness
The cosy outdoor table is more than just furniture - it's an invitation to enjoy your meals under the open sky either prepared by you or by any of the near by great restaurants.
A coop
with a Guardian
Lucas, our diligent guardian of the Chicken Raiser Cabin takes his job very seriously much like a rooster watching over his brood.
He does not have access to the Cabin but he can see and feel any visitor. Because of his unwavering dedication to keeping the cabin safe we regretfully cannot accept any other animals during your stay or otherwise he would bark all night.
A coop
of Convenience
Just like a chicken keeps his chicks nearby, a dedicated parking spot for your vehicle is just a short 5-step stroll from the cabin.
A self check-in process gives total flexibility and space to free range.

A short drive connects you to some of Portugal's most captivating destinations - just 45 minutes to the vibrant city of Lisbon, 30 minutes to the enchanting town of Sintra, a mere 25 minutes to the scenic seaside resort of Cascais and only 10 minutes to a variety of stunning beaches such as Adraga, Guincho and Ursa as well as restaurants, grocery stores and a pharmacy.
