An off-grid homestead by the River Dão.
Surrounded by gardens and woodland, Moinhos do Dão is our family project & home.
Come for a day, stay for a few days or bring your favourite people.
Moinhos do Dão is a small place in central Portugal, near Viseu — with old watermills, gardens, woodland and a quiet stretch of river to swim in.
Spend time outside, discover how life works off-grid, follow the season and make room for days that feel a little different.
An invitation to slow down. What it feels like to be here
Listen to birdsongs.
Swim in the river.
Pick herbs from the garden.
Listen to the water in the old channels.
Collect the eggs.
Plant a seed.
Harvest what you’ll eat.
Learn how things work off-grid.
Do something for the first time.
Or do very little for a while.
Moinhos is not a finished hotel or a polished retreat. It is our home and an old mill valley that we are slowly bringing back to life.
