Surrounded by olive groves, forest, flowers and fauna, with a beautiful river running through the village, Relaxscape has a special energy and light that inspires artists, writers, musicians and photographers of all kinds to paint, sketch, photograph, write poetry, books, song lyrics, sing, and make music.

It's been proven that creative problem-solving happens when your brain is engaged on other relaxing activities in nature. As an example, during my time here so far I’ve been inspired to write 3 (now published) books of poetry and start painting, playing piano again and sing fado!

Book a self-catering room and enjoy the luxury of your time being your own to focus on your artistic project, or come with friends to spend some time co-creating together. Maximum 8 people, for a maximum of 10 days. (min 2 nights).

Workshops and masterclasses with local artists and crafts people can also be arranged during your stay.

Lose yourself in nature, find yourself at Relaxscape. Burnout and stress related health issues are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced and demanding lifestyle and workplace. Mindfulness in nature is a great way of slowing down and giving your nervous system time to get out of fight or flight mode. It’s a well-known fact that it's easier to reflect, make decisions and be receptive to change when you're in a relaxed state away from the normal stresses and strains of your daily life. Relaxscape provides the perfect setting to explore changes you'd like to make in your life or work.

Moving to Portugal and spending time here immersed in nature was a catalyst for me for my own spiritual awakening and having been through several dark nights of the soul and plenty of shadow work, I know how important it is to be able to spend time in a peaceful and high vibration environment to allow you the time to reflect, and make sense of everything you are going through, without other distractions. I found it was only in silence, away from people, that I could really connect to what my soul was guiding me to.

There are single and double rooms available on a self-catering basis, with shared kitchen facilities, or perhaps you would like to book a few days silent retreat, on a private basis. ((min 2 nights, max. 10 nights).

Yoga, yoga nidra, guided meditations, sound frequency work, forest bathing experience, chakra balancing, massages, and other alternative therapies can also be arranged during your stay.

Relaxscape is an organic olive farm and relaxation retreat, founded on sustainable principles and with a focus on nature and natural products. The house, my home, is an old olive farm with more than 100 trees surrounding the property, in a very small, quiet village that is nestled in the tree-lined banks of the river Zêzere, on the edge of the river Zêzere, and the Castelo do Bode lake and river beaches. it’s a place of tranquillity and beauty, with its own special energy flow.

Relaxscape is about reconnecting with nature, a place where you can press pause on your busy life and escape for a while. It’s a place to enjoy a slower pace, savour simple pleasures. A place to relax and reconnect with yourself. There is a small dip pool on site to cool off and a superb river beach for swimming, 15 minutes walk from the house. Around the village, you'll also find some peaceful forest walks. The restorative natural surroundings promote relaxation and wellbeing.

It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some time in a traditional village, but there is also plenty to do and explore in the area, hikes, river beaches and Templar castles and the picturesque and historic Tomar nearby. It’s a great half-way break on the way down to Lisbon from Porto too.

There are single and double room options, or come with a group of friends or family and book all 6 rooms to yourselves. Maximum 8 people, for a maximum of 10 days (min 2 nights).
