ABOUT US
Deveza, meaning “protected land”, is nestled within a nature reserve in São Pedro do Sul, in central Portugal. Set on 3.5 hectares of lush land, filled with vineyards, fruit trees, and hidden relaxation spots, it offers a peaceful green oasis to unwind and reconnect.
Surrounded by mountains and located 400 meters above sea level, Deveza combines tranquility with convenience — just a 4-minute drive from the town center, where you’ll find supermarkets, restaurants, bars, a cinema, and the famous thermal baths. The city of Porto is only a little over an hour away.
Across the land, you’ll find several cozy tiny houses and secluded gems tucked between the vines. On warm days, guests can cool off in the swimming pool or gather in the shared chill area to enjoy homemade wood-fired pizza, fresh breakfasts, and relaxed moments around the long table.
Deveza is lovingly run by Giel and Karin, who look forward to welcoming you to their beautiful retreat this summer.
WHAT DO OUR GUEST THINK
Florine, June 2025: "A beautiful, lovely place to stay. In Tiny House Sun, I was able to wake up for a week and – yes – see the rising sun from my bed :). The place has been built with love, you can feel that immediately. I enjoyed the wonderful energy of Karin, Giel, the dogs, the lovely volunteers and the chef's cooking skills. Everything is just right here :) Highly recommended!! I also gained some great interior design inspiration (thanks, Karin!)."
Lise, October 2025: "Last week, I was lucky enough to enjoy a wonderful yoga holiday at Land of Deveza. Wow, it was blissful! Without a doubt, the best gift I've ever given myself. ☀️ Giel and Karin have created a place full of little joys. Whether you choose one of the cosy tiny houses, the fully equipped glamping tents or the spacious guest house, every spot has been decorated with so much love and exudes comfort and cosiness. The programme for this retreat week was also put together with equal care. It was the perfect mix of me-time, connecting with others, relaxation and enjoyable activities such as an afternoon of wellness. As an extra, I booked a breathing session with Karin. I highly recommend it, she is an expert at what she does. ✨ But Giel also has a wonderful talent, namely cooking. During the retreat week, he spoiled us every day with a varied breakfast, a surprising lunch and a refined dinner! Always completely vegetarian and using ingredients from the local greengrocer as much as possible. I've already mentioned how delicious it was, haven't I? 🧡 In short: a week to really unwind and return home with your batteries recharged."
