ABOUT US

A house with history, transformed into a peaceful retreat in Gerês

Villa Lijó Suites was born from the careful restoration of a century-old house, preserving the identity, memory and authenticity of a traditional granite stone building. More than a renovation project, this space was designed as a place of welcome, where contemporary comfort blends naturally with an architecture shaped by history, simplicity and the character of the Gerês region.

The renovation respected the soul of the house, enhancing its original materials, the strength of the stone and its close relationship with the surrounding landscape. At the same time, bright, elegant and functional interiors were created to provide a peaceful, comfortable and genuine stay.

At Villa Lijó Suites, every space reflects this balance between tradition and modernity. The result is an accommodation where the presence of history can still be felt, while every detail has been designed to meet the expectations of modern comfort. A place to rest, take in the scenery, discover the region and experience Gerês in a more authentic way.
