If you’re a busy, always-on mom craving real “me-time” and a break from endless to-dos, join me this spring in the peaceful Portuguese countryside. Experience uninterrupted rest and profound renewal, reconnect with yourself, and return home feeling restored, energized, and equipped with practices to elevate your daily life.

*A relaxing and energizing spring retreat in the heart of Alentejo*

Wake up slowly, not to a child calling your name, but to the gentle hush of nature drifting through a sun-lit room and a bed so soft you remember what it feels like to be held by quiet. Slip into your robe or feel the cool morning earth beneath your feet as you wander toward the gathering shala, where soft cushions, warm light, and a breathtaking view invite you to breathe - deeply, fully, without interruption.

An invitation to reconnect with yourself

An invitation to reconnect with yourself 〰️

How incredible would it feel to step out of your daily whirlwind and finally reconnect with a clearer, lighter, more energized version of yourself? On this retreat, through intentional pauses, grounding practices, and deeply restorative moments, you’ll be guided back to a place of inner spaciousness - where your mind quiets, your body unwinds, and your spirit begins to rise again.

Here, you’re not carrying anyone else’s needs. You’re not rushing, juggling, or stretching yourself thin. Instead, you’ll receive gentle guidance and nurturing experiences that help you release the noise and return to your center, so you can move forward feeling refreshed, renewed, and wholly yourself.

This is your chance to step away from the pace of everyday life, and step back into your own energy.

This outdoor space provides a picturesque setting for enjoying panoramic views and al-fresco time; perfectly cozy for all seasons ! In addition, each villa comes with two designated private parking spaces.

Enjoy restful nights of sleep with no disruption ! Beds, mattresses and linens are of the highest quality to ensure the most rejuvenating nights and the windows in every room are framing the surrounding nature. The bathrooms are complete with a shower, sink, and toilet.
