Quinta Carvalhas

The Just Flow Retreat with Rianne and Michelle was magical. The two of them have such wonderful chemistry and clearly trust and admire one another, which helped set the tone. The theme of the retreat, Grounding in Your Root Chakra, was reinforced throughout, whether in yoga sessions, meditation sessions, or other activities like art exploration and horse guidance. The location is tranquil and comfortable and the meals absolutely delicious and nourishing, which added to the overall feeling of being cared for. I would most definitely return again.

Desfrutei muito da minha estadia na Quinta Carvalhas, local muito acolhedor, os funcionários são muito amáveis e a comida é ótima. Recomendo fortemente e espero regressar.

I just had a great experience at this peaceful retreat. My room was spacious, clean and had everything I needed. The host, Gerard, was amazing and did absolutely everything for us to make us feel home. Bram, the chef made sure we had fantastic healthy vegan meals. I loved the mediation garden and the yoga "barn", it was peaceful and had good equipment.
Absolutely a great place to relax and wind down from daily life!

My group of 22 guests and 2 leaders had an absolutely wonderful week at the Quinta. There's something about the property, the quality of the clean air and magical sunlight that makes you feel at peace. The staff, including Gerhard, made you feel like nothing was too much to ask. They were so on top of all the logistics. I've led 30+ retreats across 5 continents and truly this is one of the best run places I've ever worked with. We are already booked for next year and I'm sure it will be an annual spot for us. The yoga studio is incredibly well-equipped as well!

Our week at Quinta Carvalhas was nothing short of magical. G, the host, truly made the experience. He went above and beyond for everyone, attentive in every way and with such an incredible eye for detail. He even remembered how each guest took their coffee. We miss him already. G was there at every moment we needed him and even when we didn’t know we needed him, haha. His support made running our retreat feel seamless and stress free.

The horse therapy with Connie was an unforgettable highlight. Every single guest raved about it and we could not recommend it more. Michele’s art class was a 10/10 experience that brought us so much insight, joy, and connection, beautifully uniting our group.

The massages with Micaela were some of the best we have ever had. She is so knowledgeable and helped our bodies release and restore after full days of movement.

The shala was a beautiful place to move and we especially loved our yoga session by the pond. Laying by the pool with the horses grazing in the background was the cherry on top. The grounds themselves feel like heaven on earth, the most peaceful place in the world and the perfect setting to recharge.

And then there was the food. Chef Carina nourished us in every sense. Every meal was made with love and care and not once did we sit down to something we did not absolutely enjoy. You can taste the heart she pours into her recipes.

We could not recommend Quinta Carvalhas enough. 100 out of 10 stars.

With gratitude,
Dani, Robin and Marce
