iRetreat Portugal

We have two options for accommodation. First we have very comfortable eco cabins built in wood, with modern, clean facilities, own toilet and shower room, double or twin beds, desk, room heater, fast wifi throughout. Secondly we have space with electricity and communal toilet / shower room for anyone wishing to arrive and stay in a camper van or their own wheels.

During your time off, you can use our facilities based on what we agree and or join us on local excursion trips.

If you do not own a vehicle we are happy to take you shopping with us, we usually do a big shop once a week, and visit more local village shops / markets a couple times a week, or we can drop you to our local train station if you want to visit other Cities for a weekend.

We are situated geographically very close to the centre point of Portugal (20 mins drive from Vila de Rei).
Directly between Porto and Lisbon Airports, surrounded by nature, quiet villages, several local and beautiful rivers, lakes, caves, etc.

We are 1 hour drive from Nazare, the famous beach of giant waves, which we visit approx once a month.

We are between the historical Cities of Tomar and Coimbra, both worth a day visit or two, with a lot to see and do there. We also visit these cities and towns approx once a month.

We are a young family — Andrew from the U.K. with Greek roots, Rosie from the Philippines (a registered nurse), and our little daughter Sofia, born in Portugal. We live simply, surrounded by nature, with our friendly dogs, ducks, and sheep. Volunteers can expect to be welcomed as part of the family, treated with kindness and respect, and included in our daily life with warmth and care.
