lets you rest.

Panoramic hot tub

Panoramic Hot Tub

The indoor hot tub in the winter garden, with glass walls facing the forest. Yours alone for your entire stay.

Open-plan, with a granite worktop linking the kitchen and the dining area. Meals shared together, just like at home.

The Attic

A solid wood ceiling and the forest at the window. The favourite room of whoever is always last to the dinner table.

A Terrace in the Forest

The place where your phone finally goes on silent. Forest, fresh air and a quiet you didn’t know you needed.

Why Vila ELENA

The only hard moment at Vila ELENA? The one when you have to go home.

Vila ELENA offers 200 m² over three levels, with 3 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. It is a villa where you can come with family or friends, and where everyone has enough space and privacy.

But our favourite spot is the winter garden, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and greenery all year round. This is where you’ll find the indoor hot tub, looking straight out onto the forest – and in winter, if you are lucky, you can watch the snow fall.

From the terrace you can hear the Zamora stream, and the forest is right beside you.

It is the kind of place where, once you arrive, you are in no hurry to go anywhere.

Whatever the season, this space feels like a natural extension of the forest: in summer you are sheltered by the freshness of the fir trees, and in winter the lush green of the indoor plants creates a spectacular contrast with the white snow outside.

All of it set to the hypnotic sound of the Zamora stream.
