Altar Ninho is a unique refuge at Pedra Alta farm, offering an exclusive stay in a house elevated among trees, providing stunning views of Joanópolis Reservoir in São Paulo, Brazil. The innovative tiny house, nestled in the Atlantic Forest, features a queen-size bunk bed overlooking the reservoir, an outdoor deck, and a bathroom with a zenithal opening for bathing with views of the sky and treetops.
Guests enjoy an exclusive leisure area with a sofa, outdoor table, shower, and barbecue grill, along with personalized services through an attentive concierge. Reservations are made directly through the Altar website, with benefits for extended stays and weekdays.
The architectural design prioritizes sustainability, employing prefabricated houses to minimize environmental impact, seamlessly integrating with nature. Strategically located in Joanópolis, Altar Ninho provides easy access to waterfalls, trails, and enchanting landscapes, combining mountains and reservoir waters.
Gastronomy is essential to the experience, encouraging guests to cook and offering services of a local chef. Altar Ninho not only offers an escape from routine but also access to a variety of natural landscapes.
