Our place
The natural silence, grandiosity, rolling hills and valleys to wander, views, diversity of trees, shrubs and herbs … Where everything is possible, but nothing is needed.The surrounding area is ideal for lovers of space, nature, hikers & mountain-biking, birdwatchers, and for people who are looking for space, peace and contact with nature. In the Sun or in the shade of a cork oak enjoy a beautiful view. Enjoy reading, cooking, writing or relaxing and lazing in a hammock. Or just explore the area to return to in the evening and listen to the call of the tawny owl and to marvel at the millions of stars that are visible here.
Hiking & biking is possible starting from the land. The area that surrounds us is excellent for short and long hikes and mountain bike tours. We have a number of beautiful and varied hiking trails.

You have tried it the hard way,
now try it the heart’s way,
the effortless way, for a while.
I have not come to burden you
but rather to free you of the notion
that you need to work hard to
awaken to the Self.
The Divine is not even a
breath away from you.
It can never be apart from you.
It is the core of your very Being.
Vaster Than Sky, Greater Than Space
