The Art of Unwinding - Where East Meets West

Retreat Accommodation

The Farmhouse Luxury Retreat

Set in the beautiful Serra da Lousã in Central Portugal, our flagship retreat, The Art of Unwinding: Where East Meets West, offers the chance to step away from everyday life and enjoy some time to rest, reconnect and unwind.

Our home for the retreat is a lovingly restored, century old farmhouse surrounded by 13 hectares of gardens, orchards, fields and rolling countryside. There is a wonderful sense of history here, balanced with all the modern comforts you could want for a truly luxurious and restful stay.

Throughout the grounds you’ll find a heated indoor pool, two outdoor pools, a sauna, a wood fired hot tub, a dedicated yoga and activity studio and a meditation yurt and electric bikes.

The farm is also home to a lovely collection of animals, including donkeys, sheep, goats and chickens, who you are very welcome to visit between sessions.

The surrounding Serra da Lousã is a beautiful area of mountains, woodland, river beaches and traditional schist Villages, with plenty of opportunities to explore if you feel like venturing beyond the grounds.

But most of all, this is a place to slow down. To breathe, rest, move, eat well, connect and simply have the space to be.

It is the perfect setting for The Art of Unwinding.
