It was a wonderful experience. The place is magic, Castelo de Vide was very special to me. Ana and her space are strong, different, cool, enchanted. Even though I didn't have much comfort or amenities, it was a great stay and good job / help. I really feel free, motivated and touched by a special energy.

We stayed for a little more then a week and had a wonderful time. Ana was just about to give birth so we didn't get to hang out too much but everything was taken care well in advance so we felt support all the time we were there. This place is like an oasis where Nature rules supreme and it's beautiful to be part of it!

Joana and Djordje are brimming with warmth and ingenious gifts that they offered. With care, they channelled their creativity in to all kind of forms, protecting the baby trees with etheric wigwam shields thoughfully decorated with organic materials, flowers and brambles, devising a delicate thorny defense against the sheep. Joana and Djorje were… read more

You will find here an empty space to fill it with a real You. Feeling yourself as a part of the Silence. Dissolved. A place which is free of conception but overwhelmed at the same time. Joy of sharing, independence and sincerity. Meeting Ana was a bless, like opening a chest full of miracles. Visiting this area was like facing with an ancient… read more

Maria is a poem. Contagious. Having her here, was a flow. Quite, like the waves of a warm sea, days full of details, softness and beauty. Shes still here, even if shes gone, with her beautifying track. And this expresses also in her cook gift, love feeding your body and soul. Shes autonomous, self initiative and creative. Grateful to life for more… read more
