Description of the Retreat

We created Relaxscape retreat as a place for you to escape from the stresses of your everyday life. Set in a tranquil olive grove leading down to the green forests surrounding the River Zêzere in central Portugal, Relaxscape is about reconnecting with nature, a place where you can press pause on your busy life and escape for a while. Inspired by the Japanese philosophies of ikigai (your “reason for being”) and shinrin yoku (“forest bathing”), Relaxscape has been created as a calming retreat surrounded by trees, with activities designed to help you discover what makes you happy. It’s a place to enjoy a slower pace, savour simple pleasures. A place to relax and rediscover what’s important to you while recharging your body and mind. All our retreats have a change coach working alongside the retreat facilitator, and between them they will help you to get the most out of your retreat experience and guide you gently while you connect with nature and start to reconnect with yourself.

Facilities

Relaxscape is located in the secluded village of Cardal, leading down to a delightful lagoon beach at Bairrada and Bairradinha, on the river Zêzere. It's the perfect spot for river bathing and forest bathing - the village is surrounded by trees and the house itself is set in its own olive grove of 60 olive trees and other fruit trees. A spot of total tranquility. All you can hear are birds and crickets. All you can see is nature. It's a place that nourishes your soul and restores your peace. There is a plunge pool on site and bicycles available to explore the surrounding countryside and nearby town of Ferreira do Zêzere. We grow our own vegetables at Relaxscape, organic of course, and what we can't grow we source locally wherever possible. We try to be as eco conscious as possible, respecting our environment, using natural materials where we can, re-using and recycling, conserving water, and using renewable energy.
You'll stay in our charmingly restored 100 year old home that combines traditional style and modern comforts, set in a peaceful olive grove surrounded by trees and beautiful views. We can welcome a maximum of nine guests currently. The rooms all have private en-suites, some with waterfall showers and some with deep soak luxury baths (and showers) with views over the olive grove. There are three comfortable single rooms with larger than average beds, two double rooms and one twin (or double) room. Downstairs, there is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, where you can help yourself to breakfast, lunch and refreshments and where we'll come together to eat a locally sourced (homegrown where possible!), home-cooked meal in the evenings, or out on the surrounding terraces.

Food

We serve homegrown, organic, healthy food here. Where we can't grow it ourselves, we source it locally. It's mostly vegetarian, with some grilled fish and meat for those who can't do without! Breakfast and lunch is help yourself - delicious freshly baked bread, fruit from our trees, salad from the garden, local cheeses and more. Evening meals are cooked for you by our retreat chefs, who are used to catering for vegetarian, vegan, and special diets. There's also the option to eat out at some local restaurants where you can enjoy some more traditional Portuguese food.

Testimonials

Testimonials:

"Gorgeous, peaceful setting in a superbly refurbished house. The views looking out of the bedrooms just instilled calm. If you wanted more than tranquility, there was plenty to see in the local environs by foot or by car. I will go back for the friendliness and the peace." - Jocelyne Bell 2019
"
Beautiful, peaceful setting with an amazing view. Loved reading in the hammock with nothing but the sound of birds chirping and bees buzzing for company, and chatting round a roaring fire in the evenings. Enjoyed exploring the local area (especially taking a bracing dip in the river!) and visiting nearby Tomar. Hope to be back again soon." - Lisa Bolden 2019
"
A gem of a place in rural Portugal. Relaxscape offers you a chance to unwind in a comfortable converted farmhouse surrounded by olive and fruit trees (the fresh picked oranges for breakfast were delicious!). You can while away the hours lazing in a hammock listening to the sounds of nature, swimming in the river, walking in the woods or exploring the nearby town of Tomar. A lovely opportunity to get away from it all." - Rebecca Smith 2019

"
Ideal para descansar e o contacto com a natureza." - Rui Silva 2019
