Quinta Carvalhas

Thank you to the amazing team at Quinta Carvalhas who worked so hard to make sure our retreat ran smoothly. The team constantly checked in with us to see if there was anything additional we needed and to ensure we felt supported. The farm was in full bloom and the smell of jasmine was amazing! The horse therapy session was a particular highlight for many of our guests, as was the care and attention that went into creating our closing circle under trees at sunset. It was very special, thank you.

I’m so grateful we could come together as a community to share in a healing experience on the Green Farm. Everything slowed way down to give all of us an opportunity to learn about ourselves and to relax. As a leader, I appreciated the supportive and patient staff. They made my job so much easier and offered a lot of guidance to facilitate in creating the retreat of our dreams. We felt humbled by our time spent getting to know the horses. The joy of the animals on the farm will forever stay with me.

A relaxing 5 day yoga retreat with wonderful teachers Chantel and Anna. Quinta Carvalha gets top star rating for amazing accommodations, food and friendless. Smiles were plentiful and I felt welcomed immediately. Merci!

Our stay at Quinta Carvalhas was nothing short of exceptional! I was organizing a retreat for a group of around 20 people, and from start to finish, the team—especially Gerhard and Rafaela—went above and beyond to make the experience seamless, enjoyable, and truly special.

From the very beginning, their professionalism, warmth, and dedication stood out. They were incredibly responsive in the planning phase, helping me organize everything in advance to ensure a smooth arrival and stay for our group. Every detail was taken care of, and upon arrival, everything was set up perfectly.

Throughout our stay, our group had multiple ad-hoc requests, and the team handled every single one with efficiency, creativity, and a smile. Their flexibility was remarkable—even when we veered off our agreed schedule, they accommodated us with such ease and grace. The level of client service and attentiveness they demonstrated was truly phenomenal. We couldn’t have asked for a better team—they made us feel welcome, cared for, and supported in every way.

As for the Quinta itself, it is an absolute gem! The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, the food was delicious and thoughtfully catered to all our dietary needs, and the premises were simply stunning. We made full use of the facilities, all of which were impeccably maintained. A special bonus was the presence of the beautiful horses, whose calming energy added a unique and serene touch to our experience.

We left feeling deeply grateful for this incredible place and its outstanding team. Thank you, Gerhard, Rafaela, and the entire Quinta team, for making our retreat truly unforgettable! We can’t wait to return in the near future.

The place is excellent and the owners and the staff are very hospitable.
