About this property

Rustic earthen two story cottage in Quintas del Bosque sleeps two couples.

A romantic, unique two bedroom Cob Cottage that is built from earth clay, straw, sand and water and with no machinery, low carbon footprint. It's a perfect escape from the busy city life.

This rustic cottage - eco friendly - has walls that are 18 inches thick, a built in fire place in the second bedroom for warmth and ambiance in the winter, and cool in the summer.

This cottage is set up for up to two couple, one couple on the main floor, and there is another bedroom downstairs that can accommodate the second couple who share the bathroom on the main floor with you.

A two story structure, the living space with the kitchen, one bathroom, main bedroom and dining and relaxing area for 4 people are upstairs. A unique form of Glamping for those who enjoy unique green earth friendly environments. We do have many stairs from where you park to walk to the cottage.

Arrive walking down the white stone stairs, pass exotic bamboos and herbs, flowers in the garden to the top floor of the two level structure. All done in harmony with nature, and improve air quality. Here is a hammock waiting, a lounger and benches to stretch out on as you look across the mountain vista as if sitting in your own tree house. Perfect space to sip your coffee or tea and feel at one with nature. There is a table and chairs to dine. There is also the open air under the roof kitchen with a small fridge, stove cook top, sink with hot and cold water and all the pots, pans, cutlery, glasses and dishes to enjoy your meal. Just bring your food. We do have a wood fired oven, and we can create a dining experience using it IF we are here for a fee. This can be discussed after booking.

The bathroom gives you a two sided view as you shower feeling like you are in the trees. Hot water shower, toilet and washbasin.

This is the cob structure that is cool in summer and warm in the winter. Step out to the Koi fish pond with is tranquilizing waterfall that will put you in the mood to hike out to the main waterfalls.

Bring books to read as there is no television. This is the place to totally disconnect and be in nature. If you love to write, enjoy painting and sketching, play a musical instrument, this is the place to be inspired. Bring your yoga mat and find your perfect spot to meditate. You will feel the energy of being in the mountains. Across the valley you can barely see the other houses.


Bring your swim suites and hike out to the waterfalls. The first is a 20 min hike and the second falls is an addition 45 min. The re e is no need to get in your car as you walk from the Cob Cottage.

Also bring your hiking boots as there are many hikes, starting right from our gardens. They have breathtaking views of the mountains.

We have a second rental unit on the property and we live in the main house, so you may chose to interact with others, or be by yourself. There are a few communally shared spaces such as the BBQ area and the gardens.

About the host

Hosted by Neal Petersen

Host profile image
I am an adventurer, solo around the world racing yachtsman, award winning author, motivational keynote speaker and lover of life. I live for great experiences and have helped in diplomatic issues and peace talks. Much time is spent mentoring young people including teaching macro-economics at several universities, sailing, playing in my garden and traveling the globe. My friends span all corners of the world. I have no time for drama.

When visiting us I enjoy stimulating conversations and will give you a tour of our gardens explaining why I have chosen to create this environment.

Some of my favorite places range from Thailand because of the great street food, cheap massages and friendly, smiling people. We love Cape Town, South Africa with its great mountains and beaches, vineyards and orchards and resilient, polite people. Portugal and Ireland are special because of all our close friends there. As a motivational speaker I have experienced many countries and cultures, enjoying the finest hotels. But we always add on extra days to throw a backpack on and travel like a local. I have had the privilege of experiences over 100 countries. I have also sailed to some of the most remote corners of our planet. Currently I am writing my third book based on our travels, people we have come to know and cultures we have loved. I will cover economic injustice, social reforms, what a civil society should resemble to how we can add to our world and create a sustainable legacy.

Why they chose this property

When you see the amazing views, the breath-taking gardens we have built, the hikes and waterfalls, all without having to drive, then you will understand why we keep coming here and calling it HOME.
