Nature-Based Long term Stays in Alentejo

Stay Longer, Go Deeper

A Quinta da Lage is more than a place to stay - it’s a place to reconnect. With the land. With others. With yourself.

If you're craving time to slow down, unplug, and live in tune with nature, our nature-based courses and slow living stays in Alentejo offer exactly that. These are not silent meditation retreats or busy group programs. Instead, you’ll find a peaceful space to land, breathe, and simply be - while surrounded by natural beauty and a supportive people around you.

What We Offer

  • Stays from 1 month to 3 months or longer

  • Private tiny houses, eco-cottages, yurts, or a room in a shared house

  • Nature immersion: trails, forests, gardens, wildlife

  • Optional community involvement in farming, cooking, yoga or events

  • Outdoor kitchen, solar showers, and off-grid infrastructure

Whether you're recovering from burnout, writing a book, in between chapters of life, or simply tired of rushing - this is a place to pause and recharge.

Why Choose a Slow Living Stay?

Our lives are often too full. Too fast. Too loud. A Quinta da Lage invites you into a slower rhythm where:

  • Meals are cooked slowly and shared

  • Days are shaped by sunlight, not screens

  • You have time for reflection, movement, and rest

  • There’s space to do nothing - and feel good about it

It’s not about achieving more. It’s about remembering what matters.

Optional Activities (Never Obligatory)

During your stay, you’re welcome to:

  • Join community meals or workshops

  • Volunteer in the garden or help with building

  • Practice yoga on the platform overlooking the hills

  • Swim in the nearby river or hike o Caminho Português

  • Enjoy solitude in your own rhythm

We provide the canvas. You paint your stay in your own colors.

Who It’s For

  • People seeking rest, clarity, or time in nature

  • Creatives looking for quiet space to write, design, or reflect

  • Professionals taking a sabbatical or working remotely at a slower pace

  • Couples wanting to reconnect without distraction

You don’t need to have a goal or project. Just bring yourself, as you are.
