Build Your Own Retreat

This place was a dream land. From the flower to the birdsong, every little detail was filled with heartfelt energy and love. My room was so comfortable, the shared spaces were beautiful, the food was incredible and my stay was just too short! I'm glad I've already booked a retreat for next May and get to bring my next group of yogis somewhere special. Thank you for hosting me! I can't wait to return.

I arrived with 'no' expectations - Well, at least I tried to. From the moment I arrived at the Quinta (where I was met by the incredibly warm, welcoming and kind Hospitality Manager, Gerhard) I was pleasantly surprised with the attention to care and detail.

I felt truly "cared" for the entire time I was at the Quinta on Retreat - and very much appreciated the attention to detail in every room (from the rooms you stay in, to the rooms you gather and practice in, to the rooms you share meals in...) Michele, the owner, has a keen eye for detail. Each and every room has and showcases something truly beautiful. From the decor in the sleeping rooms, adorn with everything you could want or need in addition to inspiring books and fresh flowers. Not 'fancy' or luxurious but simply incredibly warm, cozy and inviting.

The Staff hosting you at the Quinta is incredibly kind and gracious - and makes every/all effort(s) to accommodate all your needs.

The location is simply beautiful - And hard to describe in words. Absolutely worth a visit to see and feel this incredible Retreat location; where you will be seen, heard, cared for and 'pampered' if you so choose to be - I had the best massage ever!!!

I truly can not wait to come back again -

The place is beautiful

Quinta Carvalhas is a beautiful farm. It oozes calm and beauty from every corner, with hidden mosaics, sculptures, buddha's, scented jasmin flowers, meditation books in rooms, soft pool towels in your cupboard, coffee and tea stations everywhere, baskets of blankets, fireplaces, lounge chairs around the pool, little vases of flowers in your room and on tables, grazing horses in the distance, a meditation garden to stroll through... all nestled in the rolling hills an hour away from Lisbon. All staff there are kind, friendly, and make you feel welcome and comfortable the moment you set foot there. Love it!

Attended a 4 day Mosaic retreat. Had a fabulous time, the Quintais beautiful, the vegetarian food amazing but most of all the mosaic workshop was amazing. Lucy is an incredible instructor, apart from being incredibly talented she has a wonderful sense of humor and kept our group laughing throughout.
Will definitely sign up for another retreat at the Quinta
