Brejo Fundeiro Retreat

Brejo Fundeiro Retreat is a holistic retreat venue where people can come on a 'working holiday' to learn and become a better version of themselves.
Any Tutor/organiser who brings 8 or more students will receive a free, full board week in a private en-suite room in rural central Portugal. We require 6 students to run a retreat and can host up to sixteen students, plus the tutor.
Set in a rural valley surrounded by eucalyptus forest. The venue consists of the main Manor house (over 100 years old), courtyard garden, flower garden, vegetable garden, fruit tree orchard, Yoga hall, swimming pool, ruins. Perfect setting for your rural group retreat in Central Portugal.

Although we don't see ourselves as part of the eco-tourism, but rather as a part of our daily lifestyle to look after the environment and our impact on it here at Brejo Fundeiro retreat centre in rural central Portugal. We grow organic vegetables, herbs and fruit, which is not only a practice, but defines and influence our complete lifestyle. Our idea is to provide luxury, without over charging and consciousness of the impact on the environment. We LOVE nature and the amazing natural eco system. So we try very hard to cook and eat seasonal .This also extends to our lifestyle, so we do not use poisons and chemicals.

Once you register an interest we will discuss our menu with you in more detail, but in essence we typically do brunch and dinner, to fit in with the typical 2 Yoga sessions per day, but if you do not do Yoga or want 3 meals a day instead, we can supply it too. Brunch consists normally of:
Fresh fruit salad, muesli with home made yoghurt and Kefir, followed by a baked dish like Greek Spinach pie, Salad, 3 x tea infusions and a cold drink like home made organic long life orange juice. Fresh home made sour dough bread with jams and cheeses.
Our afternoon cake is of course freshly baked each day, served with tea infusions.
We alternate our 2 course dinners; (day 1: starter and main course, day 2: main course and dessert, etc.) The main is a warm dish, 2 x salads, 3 tea infusions, while dessert are sometimes a healthy option like home made vegan 'ice cream', or a naughty treat like our 70% chocolate mousse.
Friday evening is usually BBQ with either pure vegetarian, or we can add Portuguese sardines if your group eats fish too. All this food is completely home made from scratch with mostly organic produce, depending on the season.
