The "House of Light" was built by a contractor who is a good friend and volunteer at the Casa de Dom Inacio. Much love and dedication went into the design: it maximizes openness to sunlight, the sights of the beautiful green hills and valleys, and the dark blue sky with its typical, incredible cloud formations -- watching a rainstorm come and go from one of the open yet sheltered view decks is an experience you will cherish.

At night, unusual choices of artistic lighting inside and out (20 lighting fixtures outside and 36 inside) add to your enjoyment.

Casa de Luz was conceived to maximize the experience at the Casa de Dom Inacio; it is nearby -- just about 5 minutes to walk; it has much of the same views -- you overlook part of the path to the sacred waterfall; it is quiet -- just what you need after a day in current or after the experience of spiritual surgery; it is close to the downtown cafes -- where people like to casually meet with others and talk about the experiences of the day, or where you get your afternoon smoothy; and it is close to numerous pousadas that offer delicious buffet meals, or to restaurants where you can also get your food "to go" to eat it in peace and quiet at your rental home. Last but not least, while Casa de Luz offers certain amenities that are not common for Abadiania, its overall modesty is well within keeping of the overall atmosphere in Abadiania and the Casa de Dom Inacio.
