Welcome to Maison Citrine

a place where you will feel at home, immersed in an authentic experience of sharing and conviviality, blending local living, a deep connection with nature, and a daily rhythm shaped by agriculture, garden flavors, and the presence of the house cats—friendly yet ever-present companions, something to consider for those with allergies

The Citrina house takes its name from the many orange and lemon trees surrounding it and the distant sea view.

Built in 2018, this family home, along with its traditional palheiro, offers four charming guest rooms nestled in a lush garden filled with a vegetable patch and citrus orchards. Its welcoming layout naturally encourages sharing and conviviality.

At the heart of the house, the central living space is designed for connection and shared moments. With its large glass doors opening onto the garden, the room is bathed in natural light and offers a seamless connection to nature.

It features a spacious kitchen with a central island, perfect for cooking together while chatting, a large solid wood table seating up to ten guests, and a cozy lounge area with a wood-burning stove and guitars available for music lovers.

Originally, the Citrina house was designed as a family home where Camille and Marco raised their four children. Now, with their three eldest having left the nest, the once-empty rooms have been transformed into guest accommodations, offering travelers a warm and welcoming space.

Opening the house to visitors not only keeps it alive but also helps support their children's education, while sharing an authentic lifestyle rooted in nature and hospitality.

The Rooms

The house offers four guest rooms, each with a unique setup to accommodate both families and couples:

  • Toranja (the largest room): Located in the adjoining palheiro, this charming room with stone walls is perfect for families. It features a large double bed, a central bathroom, and an additional room with bunk beds (a single bed on the bottom and a single bed on the top), comfortably accommodating up to 4 guests. It has a private entrance from outside while also being connected to the house through a door leading to the common areas.
  • Laranja: Another spacious room, ideal for a smaller family, with a double bed and a single bed, as well as a private bathroom. It also has a separate entrance from outside, while offering direct access to the shared living spaces inside the house.
  • Limão: A more intimate room located on the ground floor, featuring a double bed, perfect for a couple. It shares a common bathroom.
  • Mandarina: Situated upstairs, this cozy room also has a double bed, making it ideal for a couple. It shares the bathroom with Limão.
