Estalagem da Serreta

Estalagem da Serreta is an inn building located on elevated terrain with complex spatial arrangements across multiple levels. The structure combines various materials and design elements that respond to the natural hillside topography.

The building was designed and constructed in the 1970s as a modern inn. In December 1971 it hosted a significant diplomatic meeting between leaders from Portugal, France, and the United States.

The building reflects modern Portuguese architecture from the 1970s while respecting traditional local building methods. Its structure adapts to the hilly terrain using materials and forms common to the region.

The building sits near Mata da Serreta forest area on elevated ground with good views of the surroundings. The location is accessible via countryside paths and lies in a quiet, remote region.

The building hosted a rare gathering of three world leaders during a significant geopolitical moment. This historical event gives the location special meaning beyond its architecture.
