Poço Verde Mill | River | Peneda-Gerês National Park

Description:
Imagine yourself with your eyes closed, sitting on the rocks of a river and inhaling the purest and most peaceful air of the mountains. Take a deep breath! Open your eyes and discover these sensations in reality, on the banks of the Laboreiro River, in a unique retreat, restored from an old mill whose name was adopted from the Poço Verde (Green Well) located a few metres away and where the old Chocolate Factory that operated in these parts was also located. The famous ‘Chocolate Carabel’ kept its freshness on the banks of this river that runs alongside it.

Its interior, carefully renovated, offers contemporary comfort without sacrificing the authenticity of the place and its people, in a gesture of cultural and environmental preservation, in a story that carries the weight of time that also falls in love with the present.

Allow yourself to feel, with the smell of chocolate, this place that will enchant you at first step. The invitation is made by the murmur of the crystal clear waters and their ripples on the rocks, by the falls in the Laboreiro River and by the mountain in the background. Let yourself be enchanted by the magnificent surrounding trails, on an exciting journey through the fauna and flora of this magnificent setting that is the Peneda-Gerês National Park.

In autumn and winter, the scenery changes and autumnal colours (re)cover nature, where so often a beautiful white blanket of snow also settles in an embrace with the soul of the mountains. At times like these, it is the fireplace that calls. In its cosiness, sit down with a book in one hand and a hot chocolate in the other, and let yourself be warmed by the heat of the crackling flames.

Moinho do Poço Verde invites you to contemplation and adventure. Come and join us!

This mill shares the beauty of the place with another old mill, which has also been restored. The two can be booked individually or together and exclusively.
