About venue

Escape the hustle and bustle of society and find solace at Francisco's Hills Retreat Glamping—a place where you can slow down, reflect, and rejuvenate. It's more than just a destination; it's an opportunity to connect with nature, grow personally, and embark on a healing journey. 🌿 


Nestled in the heart of nature 🌳, our retreat boasts a magnificent outdoor yoga wooden deck that enhances your practice with the presence of the natural world. Our indoor yoga studio, with its wooden roof, natural floor, and warm wood-burning stove, exudes a magical ambiance that fosters transformation. 🧘‍♀️✨


What sets us apart is our commitment to sustainable living. We are entirely off the grid, responsibly managing our water and electricity resources. This conscious approach invites you to reflect on your own habits and needs, allowing you to naturally adapt to the offerings of Mother Earth. To further minimize our environmental impact, we only use 100% biodegradable washing and cosmetic products, and our greywater is reused for irrigation. 🌍💧


Our eco-friendly toilets support soil formation through Surface Composting, layered with straw for an eco-conscious cycle of waste disposal. ♻️


When we set out to build our community house, we inadvertently created a vibrant village and community. This designated space allows us to come together and organize diverse activities for both the young and old, all while maintaining retreat space and privacy for our residents. 🏡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦


Nature is our ultimate guide and teacher. It communicates with us through its vibrant colors, mysterious sounds, rugged landscapes, and breathtaking beauty. All it asks of us is to be still and listen. 🍃🌺


In the vicinity of our land, you'll discover exquisite cork and pine forests, expansive meadows, rolling hills, and an extensive network of hiking and biking trails. 🚵‍♂️🌲


Beaches are just a stone's throw away from our retreat, allowing you to revel in the wild beauty of Portugal's west coast. Whether you prefer the wild ocean meeting calm lagoons or sandy cliffs and ideal surf spots, our proximity to various beaches offers diverse coastal experiences. 🏖️🌊


At Francisco's Hills Retreat Glamping, we believe in the importance of connection and authenticity. You can trust that only the hands of your closest friends have touched the food you're about to savor. Gardening is a core pillar of our community, bringing us together in heartfelt harmony. It transforms the labor of one into the collective joy of many. Witnessing nature's interconnectedness through its eternal cycles is a humbling and deeply gratifying experience. 🍽️🌱


Explore our diverse range of workshops, including permaculture, forest gardening, water management, and various related subjects. We extend a warm invitation to join us in cultivating the land and learning together. 🌻📚


At Francisco's Hills Retreat Glamping, we offer a unique experience—an extraordinary yoga retreat with horses, renowned for their exceptional healing qualities. Whether you're planning a yoga retreat, personal development getaway, family escape, or any retreat focused on disconnection and embracing off-grid, nature-based living, you've found the perfect destination. 🐎🧘‍♂️


Join us in minimizing our environmental footprint while redefining your travel experience. 🌎🌟
