The A-frame chalet seen from a distance, among the trees of the woods

Las Casitas · Chalet in Pedra Selada, Visconde de Mauá

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.

Here the view is not scenery,
it is company.

The 150 m² A-frame faces Pedra Selada. The mezzanine window frames the mountain. A short walk away, a lake with a deck and a small waterfall. Two outdoor fire pits: one on the deck, one by the lake.

Two en-suite bedrooms and a TV room with a sofa bed, for up to six guests. A retreat for silence, for nature, for starlit nights.

The mezzanine and the triangular window framing Pedra Selada

The living room

A seven-metre ceiling, wood from floor to rafters and a façade entirely of glass. Straw pendants hang from the ridge. Nothing here competes with the view.

The main suite

On the upper floor, looking out
over the woods and the mountain.

The second suite

A second suite on the ground floor, with the same
enveloping comfort of stone and wood.

Our kitchen

Cooking together, sitting down without hurry, letting the conversation run late. The best memories of a trip almost always begin here.

Kitchen with exposed-brick island, granite worktop and stools The kitchen seen head-on, with the window above the sink
Round wooden table under the straw pendant light The dining table opening onto the veranda and the forest

The TV room

A corner for doing nothing, for the series after dinner. And if the family is large, it turns into one more double bed.

Our little lake and small waterfall

Relax on the lake deck and cool off under our small waterfall.

The chalet lit at night, with the outdoor fire burning

When the sun sets behind the mountain, the sky takes over.

Far from the city, the nights are dark enough
for the stars to appear without effort.

Forty thousand square metres, private, and a single house: yours.

Araucarias, forest, a lake with a wooden deck and a small waterfall. Paths to walk with no destination. And, wherever you look, quiet.

The Las Casitas legacy.

Elizabeth Moyano became known in Visconde de Mauá for her handmade ceramic casitas, inspired by the magic of the region. Our chalet, facing the mountain, is the continuation of that story.

Visconde de Mauá, Pedra Selada.

On the border between Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, in the municipality of Resende. The house sits in the Pedra Selada area.
