Casa Penedo is a charming retreat nestled in the lush nature of the Serra da Mantiqueira. Here, the true highlight is the natural setting: the sound of birdsong, the gentle flow of the stream, curious squirrels, and a peaceful atmosphere that refreshes both body and soul. To complete the experience, the property features a one-of-a-kind pool in the region, with an adjoining firepit lounge — perfect for enjoying the day or cozying up on cooler evenings. A counter separates the pool area from the lounge, creating an inviting and connected space where those in the water can chat with those by the fire, surrounded by greenery and the soothing sounds of the forest. The house is old, spacious, and full of character — perfect for spending quality time with family and friends. Due to its historic construction, it maintains rustic features such as natural creaks, occasional visits from small animals, and other authentic touches that give it its unique charm.
