No, this isn’t any temporary set for a movie. It is an actual house made of rocks called A Casa do Penedo that is located in Fafe mountains of northern Portugal. 

The stone house was built in 1974 using four large boulders present there, to serve as an abode away from the city life where one could relax and enjoy the scenic beauty around it. Although it may look primitive, it incorporates all the facilities just like a normal dwelling would, even having a swimming pool. Undoubtedly the peculiarity of the house lies in its marvelous blending with the nature surrounding it.

Since the rock house is privately owned you could say curious visitors are somewhat unwelcome. With various reports of malicious activities happening to the wonderful architectural marvel the house since has been fitted with bullet-proof windows and a steel door.

Anyway, here’s something that might interest you, a peek inside the famed structure A Casa do Penedo [in the video below].
