Retreat by the river

About venue

Welcome to Retreat by the river. It is located directly on the Mondego river. This place has a special spirit: it is peaceful and calm. A place where time has no meaning. And where you can absolutely forget the stress of the daily working life. When you come down the road, it feels like entering into a different world. All around the farm is covered with trees in an up and down going of nature and the river.

We are living here family based with attention to nature, all our animals and guests. Everything here is based on encounter. That’s why we called the farm: Retreat by the river. Our aim is to share this amazing and special place and welcome as much people as possible.

Around our saltwater pool, which invites you to swim, there are numerous places to sit and lie down. Barbecue specialities and meals can be enjoyed next door under palm trees or in the spacious building with large windows – each with an amazing river view. You can also end the evening there comfortably under the palms in a beautiful light ambience. The closeness to the river enables a regulated climate.

Furthermore, we rent out boats for river explorations. With our four horses, individual riding lessons and guided excursions through our forests can be booked directly on site.

This place promises a combination of healing peace, space that lets you breathe deeply, surrounded by different forests that give you a feeling of security, a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful nature. For us and our animals, this is a very special place whose uniqueness we would like to share with you. Here you can escape the stress of everyday life, take away the importance of time and treat yourself with a relaxing time-out. In addition to the possibility of using this place as a haven of peace, it also offers space for ventures and sporting activities such as swimming, hiking, cycling, sightseeing... Retreat by the river offers you all this and much more.

We are really looking forward to welcome you to our paradise Retreat by the river. We moved to Portugal in July 2021. We have dedicated two years to the renovation of our farm. Now we are very excited to share this wonderful place with you. We want many people to experience and enjoy the specialness and grace of this place. This place with its unique atmosphere will immediately captivate you. You cannot put this place into words - you have to experience and feel it. We have built our accommodation as a family business from a building site to a breathtaking holiday home. Five of us live here with all our horses, dogs, cats and goats. With modern energy generation methods, our own garden cultivation and well, we have a partially independent system.
