RETREAT GROUPS

Quinta do Areal welcomes yoga teachers and facilitators who want to bring their group to retreat with us. People have been coming to the Serra da Lousã for many years to escape city life, to breathe the clean air and to enjoy outdoor pursuits in the mountains. We welcome retreat groups to our Quinta to enjoy the simplicity of farm life from the comfort of our luxurious facilities and to create an unforgettable experience.
