Tanya and her sweet family made me feel so at home that I quickly felt as if I had become part of the family. The place is very peaceful and it was a very nice chance to rest and center and unwind. The morning yoga sessions with Tanya were very nice. She’s a great teacher and the setting is beautiful. Even without a car, I felt it was easy enough to get to town and to the beach when I wanted to. The walk is nice (45 mins to town then another 45 mins to the beach or there’s also a bus) but Tanya or her husband were often available and willing to drive me so most days that’s how I went. The cabin was very nice. The bed was super comfortable and I slept like a baby every night. The compost toilet was also easy to get used to. There are some sweet animals on the land such as Pony the dog, Blackie the white horse, and Camilla the goat (among others). I really felt like I became part of the family and I hope to come back to visit this sweet place again!

Prachtige plek, natuur en stilte. Yoga op een soort vlonder op de helling met geweldig uitzicht.

Ik was alleen, privé yoga lessen. Heel goed gegeven met zowel zorgvuldigheid en precisie als lichtheid en plezier.

Tanja doet echt haar best om je heel goed te verzorgen en kookt heerlijk.

Perfecte plek om helemaal tot jezelf te komen. Aanrader!

Was mur sehr gefallen hat ist die familiäre atmosphäre und die Einfachheit der Unterkunft, welche liebevoll gestaltet ist.

Das essen war jeden tag frisch zubereitet, abwechslungsreich und total lecker :)

Die yoga stunden waren super und tanja holte mich dort ab wo ich stand. Ich konnte mich auf meinen körperlichen und seelischen prozess konzentrieren und wurde wunderbar von tanja begleitet.

Vielen dank 🙏

I was the only one in the retreat, which was a very special experience. The place is so calming, beautiful nature and quietness. The lodge was just for me, very clean and had everything I needed. The food prepared was amazing, all vegetarian and adjusted to my needs and wants. Tanja and her family are very nice people, welcoming but private at the same time. I could borrow a bike, biking to the beach is 40 minutes. Would definitely recommend.

Tanja is really nice and attentive. The yoga sessions where great and I could feel the evolution during my 5 days retreat.

The food was wholesome and prepared with care, I really felt well cared for.

Tanya is a very friendly and excellent yoga teacher. She is a great host. I appreciate a lot my time with her and we had amazing chat. She s a very inspiring person.

There is as well an amazing landscape, 45 minutes by bike from the house, very impressive. I m happy I ve been there.

if you are looking for a place immersed in nature to disconnect from your daily stress and wifi then you found it. Tanja is a passionate yoga teacher who is just perfectly zen and will help you to improve in your yoga practices and meditation. Her husband Chris and herself make absolutely healthy delicious vegetarian meals. If you are a foodie you will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of love and attention they give the nourishment of their guests. Just the right amount of food, great combination of ingredients, low use of salt to feel the real taste of things.

They truly care about their guests and want you to make the most out of your experience.

The facilities are very simple. Everything is clean and Tanja is always attentive to every need. We loved you Tanja and she is just a beautiful person. du bist so wunderschoen ❤️❤️

everything was perfect ! great experience ! I came out with new energies 9! obrigada Tanja and family

The place was really calm and close to nature. People were very nice to me. Great hospitality.

It was an amazing time with Tanja and her Family! The place is Great, the Food was various, the Yoga lessons were excellent and all in all the stay was balm for our souls:) absolutely recommendable!!

I had a fantastic week at the lodge. The accommodation was very cosy and practical,Tania and Chris were very helpful, the breakfasts were amazing, the yoga classes were gentle and strengthening, the surroundings were beautiful.

We really enjoyed the stay with Tanja and Chris! We instantly felt at home and they supported us with any questions!

The atmosphere ist great as the valley is super calm and close to the ocean. Tanja is also a great yoga teacher: Thanks for you cheerful and supportive attitude!

I really enjoyed my time here. It was exactly what I was looking for a place I can unwind for few days. I was the only one at the retreat so I got a cabin only for myself. The cabins are kind of romantic and everything looks like in pictures. Surrounding is super quiet and you can watch starts during the night. Tanjas family is really nice. They were kind enough to lend me a bike so I could explore during the day and do yoga in the morning and evening. Food was tasty and I loved all the animals at the property (the horse, two dogs, chickens, the goat, two cats). I am glad that I´d chosen Tanja´s place.

Ich hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Tanja und Chris. Das Yoga mit Tanja war immer sehr gut. Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht, ist mit viel Liebe gestaltet, jedoch eher einfach gehalten. Die Gruppen sind eher klein. Tipp: am besten ein Auto mieten. Das Retreat liegt recht abseits und somit kann man die tollen Strände in der Nähe erkunden.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Tanja und Chris war einfach super! Die Umgebung ist wunderschön, das Retreat ist in einem Tal gelegen und sehr abgeschieden, trotzdem jedoch relativ gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Das Yoga ist super organisiert und wir haben uns sehr gut begleitet gefühlt von Tanja. Sie achtet auf eine korrekte Ausführung der Positionen und korrigiert wenn nötig. Die Unterkünfte sind kleine Holzhütten, die jedoch erstaunlich viel Platz bieten und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet sind. Alles ist sehr sauber. Wir haben uns sehr gut mit Tanja und Chris verstanden und wurden herzlich aufgenommen. Zwischen dem Yoga 8 Uhr morgens und abends um 17 Uhr ist genug Zeit, die Umgebung mit dem Auto zu erkunden (Achtung, die gravel road geht schon ein ganz schönes Stück, hier muss man sehr aufmerksam fahren beim ersten Mal!). Ein paar Tiere und die unglaubliche Ruhe runden das ganze Ambiente ab. Das Frühstück und Abendbrot war immer super lecker, nur zum Lunch hätte es mehr geben können. Ich denke, die Aktivitäten an der frischen Luft steigern auch dementsprechend den Appetit. :P Wir sind sehr dankbar für diese Zeit und vermissen es jetzt schon! Danke, dass es euch gibt und wir kommen hoffentlich bald mal wieder. Obrigada!

Alles war wunderbar :) Tanja und Chris sind super herzliche Menschen, man hat sich direkt willkommen und wie zu Hause gefühlt.

Die Yogastunden und ausgiebigen Mediationen mitten in der Natur sind einzigartig und haben unfassbar gut getan. Tanja gibt sich viel Mühe um jeden zu unterstützen und zu verbessern!

Die Yogamaterialien waren neuwertig.

Frühstück, Lunch und Abendessen waren liebevoll zubereitet und immer ausgiebig, gesund, abwechslungsreich.

Und nicht zu vergessen die unfassbar komfortable Unterkunft in einem kleinen Haus, super gemütlich.

War definitiv nicht das letzte mal :)

Ich bin ohne Erwartungen nach Portugal gereist, außer, etwas Sonne zu tanken. Das hat das Land schon von alleine erfüllt. :-) Tanja und Chris haben mit ihrem einzigartigen Yoga Retreat dann noch den Rest oben drauf gepackt. Ihr Grundstück liegt abgeschieden vom Dorf auf einem Berg, der perfekte Ort um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Die Yogaeinheiten mit Tanja zwei Mal am Tag waren für mich sehr intensiv und ich konnte nach den Tagen dort eine deutliche Verbesserung an meinem Körper spüren. Besonders morgens mit dem Sonnenaufgang Yoga zu machen hat seinen Charme. Die Plattform oben auf dem Hügel bietet einen phänomenalen Blick.

Ich danke Tanja und Chris vielmals für die tollen und entspannten Tage, das leckere Essen und die nette Gesellschaft! Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und wäre gerne noch länger geblieben. Macht weiter so!

Tanja ist wunderbar und nebenher eine sehr gute Yogalehrerin, abgeschiedene Lage, leckeres Essen und Tiere, Tiere, Tiere.

Tanja, Chris und Marlen sind ganz ganz liebe Gastgeber!

Ich war 4 Tage allein dort und hatte dementsprechend 1:1 Yoga Stunden- nur super! Tanja ist genau auf meine Bedürfnisse gegangen und hat mir alles sehr ausführlich gezeigt! Immer wieder gern!

DAs Essen war immer richtig lecker und Tanja und Chris geben einem viele Tipps bei der Freizeitgestaltung! Die drei respektieren die Privatsphäre vollkommen, sind aber durchgehend ansprechbar und hilfsbereit!

Danke für die tolle Zeit!

Ik werd heel gastvrij ontvangen hele vriendelijke mensen! Ze waren heel behulpzaam met alles. Het eten was heerlijk en de accommodatie comfortabel. Prachtige locatie. De yoga was super. Ik heb een heerlijke week gehad! Het was precies wat ik nodig had. Hoop zeker nog eens terug te komen. Dank Tanja en Chris

Tanja und ihre Familie sind sehr nette Leute, die mich für die Zeit des Yoga Urlaubs herzlichst aufgenommen haben. Es gab leckeres vegan/vegetarisches Essen und die Umgebung ist wunderschön. Zwischen den Yogastunden kann man tolle Wanderungen machen oder zum Strand fahren. Die Yogastunden leitet Tanja mit ganz viel Ruhe an und geht auf jeden individuell ein. Ich bin super entspannt wieder losgefahren. Vielen Dank!!

A localização é ótima. Adorei a forma como fui recebida, muito acolhedora e em ambiente familiar. Todo o espaço em si é muito rustico e quase primitivo de uma forma positiva que nos faz esquecer o mundo lá fora. Permite-nos relaxar e limpar a mente do lixo psicológico a que estamos sujeitos no dia a dia. Adorei mesmo as pessoas e quero voltar assim que tenha oportunidade. a Tanja é uma instrutora de yoga fantástica, a sua voz calma e serena consegue levar-nos facilmente a um estado de relaxamente positivo. Também é uma excelente ouvinte para quem precisa de um ombro para desabafar.

A quem precisar de sair da loucura do quotidiano e fazer uma pausa para limpar a mente a par com algum exercício físico através da pratica do Yoga, aconselho vivamente este local.

Muito obrigada pelos fantásticos 5 dias que passei.

It is a beautiful peaceful location, back to nature, where you can step away from the daily rush and relax. There are 3 small wooden houses in this private valley and the house where the family lives. It is close to several beautiful beaches and charming villages. You can stay in the valley and have beautiful walks, but if you also like to go to the beach, I recommend to come by car.

Tanja is a great yoga instructor, explains everything well and takes into account the level of experience and any physical issues you might have. Times for the yoga lessons were not fixed, we decided together based on my plans for the day. You have to walk up to the yoga platform (nice exercise to start with :-)) where you have a great view.

The food was very good. For breakfast fresh orange juice or smoothie, bread, yoghurt, home made avocado dip, cheese, honey, etc. Soup or veggies with humus for lunch and two courses (main and desert), with different vegetables, for dinner. There is a lot of mint in the garden that you can pick if you want to make tea in your own house. My house was equiped with a perfect bed, kitchen, table and chairs, small couch and good relax chairs outside on the terrace. The bathroom (shower / toilet) is basic. Not always a warm shower. Fits in the ‘back to nature’ concept.

I had some great yoga days here and time to reconnect with myself and to calm down from the normal daily life. I really enjoyed the yoga classes and the teacher Tanja has a good sense for how to teach breathing techniques, basic practices and the more difficult yoga postures.

The accomodation is simple but clean and pretty. The food was delicious and healthy. Between the yoga units you can go hiking in the forest, go for a walk to the beach or take a good book.

If you like spending time in nature and having time and space for yourself, this place is a really good choice.

I was looking for a secluded place to unwind for a few nights that provided yoga and eat healthy food. Through this site I discovered this beautiful little valley and the perfect spot for me. The yoga teacher, Tanja, lives here with her husband Chris and daughter Marlene. After giving yoga lessons for some years at other places in the region she turned her valley into a budget, small scale yoga retreat.

The accommodations are basic but clean. (For example, there is a composting toilet rather than a flush toilet). It’s rustic but to me that was what appealed most – off the beaten path, a place to meditate and reflect with the right level of support/people around you.

As for yoga, I was a novice and Tanja assessed my level and adjusted the yoga accordingly. During the time I was there I was the only guest and I still received my two lessons a day.

As for the food, it was fresh, not-processed and tasty. I felt much lighter eating there. The family is very hospitable and laid-back hosts. For someone looking for peace, tranquility and a back to nature environment, this place will deliver. I personally hope to come again soon.

Tip 1: Walk-ins are welcome

Tip 2: They have a couple of spots for campervans
