  Beschreibung

  Hi Workawayers,
  
  Thanks for stopping by.
  
  We are a young family in our late 30's & early 40's with a baby girl born 14th October.
  
  Both U.K citizens living in Central Portugal.
  Andrew is U.K born but culturally of Greek origins.
  Rosie is Philippine born and a registered nurse in the U.K.
  Sofia our baby girl is Portuguese born.
  
  We are setting up a modern wellbeing retreat deep in the heart of Portugal.
  We plan to launch our retreat to the public in the summer of 2024.
  
  We have 3 friendly dogs on site, and several ducks.
  We aim to add some sheep / goats and chickens in the near future.
  
  We've been busy the past few years creating a comfortable space to host detox and wellness retreats.
  
  We specialise in a variety of holistic detoxification methods, to help people live pain free, stress free and full of life.
  
  We are surrounded by natural forest, no overlooking neighbours, no man-made noise pollution, just the sound and smell of nature.
  
  Recently we have been developing our land into a variety of different useable gardens.
  
  We have used some permaculture techniques with the help of local friends to create ponds, waterways, spillways, swales, and other sustainable methods to nurture our efforts of a food forrest, a large veggie garden, an oriental garden, a mediterranean garden and more.
  We have worked extensively on the land this year and planted 100's of young trees.
  
  Also on our land we have built 3 large entertainment domes, one is used as a modern gymnasium, one is a games & music lounge and the third dome is used as a library, cinema lounge, and quiet space for other wellness practices.
  
  On our land we have a full sized fenced tennis court, which we also use as a mini football pitch, and hockey space.
  A large salt water pool, outdoor dining, a fire pit, a traditional pizza oven, a duck pond, an outdoor massage terrace, plus many peaceful spots to work / reflect and connect deeply with nature.
  
  Our main residence has fast internet connection, comfortable rooms, modern furniture, a large tv lounge, a large open kitchen and dining area, a roof terrace for sunbathing / star gazing, sun sets / morning stretches and more.
  
  We specialise is Colon Hydrotherapy using the most advanced, comfortable and safe equipment. We are the only centre throughout Portugal using this equipment. You can also find a far infrared sauna in our therapy cabin.
