The space
Santo Refúgio Space | Nature experience, overlooking the lagoon and comfort in the Rio Grande do Sul countryside
Espaço Santo Refúgio is a private micro-house, built in a container, located in a rural area of Santo Antônio da Patrulha (RS), with a direct view of Lagoa dos Barros. Access is via the Venâncio Gomes Soares road, which bears the name of the precursor of these lands, a direct inheritance that connects the space to the history and memory of the place. The retreat is ideal for those seeking tranquility, silence, nature and a safe, comfortable and different stay from the conventional.
The accommodation is entirely for the guest, with a complete structure, designed to offer comfort, privacy and an authentic interior experience, without giving up aesthetic and functional care. Each choice made here values the territory and the people who have remained, with local labor and partnerships that strengthen the region's identity.
Here time slows down. The day begins with the birdsong, the natural light coming through the house and the view of the lagoon from the bed. The sunset on the hill is a spectacle in itself, and at night the silence and the starry sky invite you to rest deeply. The bathroom has a skylight in the shower, allowing bathing in the sun, rain or under the stars. Outside, guests can enjoy the campfire, the cold shower amidst the trees and stones, as well as spaces designed for contemplation and rest.
We offer basic items to make your stay easier and provide a true interior experience. Breakfast, when contracted, is served externally and prepared by the Monte Bakery, a local and artisanal bakery, with the purpose of rescuing the country breakfast, as it was served in the past — simple, plentiful and full of affection. The menu is sent upon request and integrates the history, memory and flavors of the place.
The Santo Refúgio is located on the Caminho Gaúcho de Santiago, an officially recognized cultural route. Nearby there are options for homemade food, trails, waterfalls and cultural events. The location allows tours to nearby cities such as Osório, Caraá and the North Coast, combining countryside, mountains and sea.
Ideal for couples, solo travelers, artists, writers or anyone seeking simplicity, beauty, silence, art and true connection with nature.
Here, luxury is in the essentials, in the care and in the experience.
