Quinta – A Permaculture Paradise in São Mamede Natural Park
Discover this magical 5.5-hectare retreat nestled between Portugal and Spain, where wild forests meet organic vineyards and ancient olive groves. Just 2.5 scenic hours from Lisbon, Quinta offers a clothing-optional, back-to-nature experience with daily vegetarian meals harvested from our food forests and gardens.
Stay Options:
Volunteers enjoy free accommodation in our cozy farmhouse room or can pitch tents amidst cork oaks and mountain vistas. In exchange for 4 daily hours helping with olive harvesting, vine care, or landscape projects, you’ll join our community of permaculture enthusiasts and resident animals (3 dogs, 2 cats + visiting boars and foxes).
Your Host:
Stephan, a German-born world traveler, created this sustainable sanctuary in 2021. Expect shared vegetarian feasts, natural winemaking workshops, and starlight conversations about his dual projects – this quinta and a Spanish vegetarian café.
