ABOUT

ABOUT

We are Sarah and Jon, and we moved from the UK to Portugal to pursue a slower-paced, more sustainable lifestyle. We found our sanctuary 10 minutes from Monchique, in the Algarve mountains, where we now live with our three rescue dogs Kota, Loki, and Mimi. We would love to invite you to come and stay with us and experience the peacefulness yourselves. 

 

We are located 1 hour from Faro airport and 45 minutes to both the South and West coasts. Surrounded by trees and birdsong, come and stay in our hidden valley either for Bed & Breakfast or book us for a retreat. We can also arrange activity holidays for you, please get in touch for a bespoke package.

We strive to tread more gently on the earth and work with, not against nature. We are creating a permaculture-inspired garden, not only to produce organic food for ourselves and our guests but also to create a biodiversity haven.

ROOMS
Jasmine Room

We have 3 rooms available. The Citrus Room, the Jasmine Room and the Lavender Room. 

All rooms have a private ensuite and a personal door to the outside. 

The Citrus Room is the largest room and also has a kitchenette and fireplace.
