Shared Lives,
Deep Connections
Looking for a peaceful place in nature to work remotely and develop your projects? 🌿
Come discover Quinta da Carvalheira!
​
Living at Carvalheira is much more than just a room and a desk with good internet. Here, you'll find a shared space that promotes balance between work, rest, learning, and meaningful connections. We welcome you into our family, where regeneration and experimentation are our purpose.
​
We believe that quality of life is found in the pure air we breathe, the nutrients in the food we grow, the spring water we drink, and in the deep connections we create every day with those who cross our path.
​
We consume food from our garden and from our neighbours, and we create delicious vegetarian recipes! We're very connected with the local community, and we organise various activities: whether for adventure or to relax. We offer yoga/pilates classes, climbing gear, hiking in the Serra do Sicó, and we have bikes available!
​
And if you'd like to learn about permaculture, we'll be more than happy to share our knowledge with you :)
