still remember the first time I arrived at the little train station in the middle of nowhere, and the dogs welcomed me so warmly that I felt like I was a friend instantly.

Since then I love coming back, being welcomed by Emma, Barbara, Eric, Marcia and little Samuel. The Mount of Oaks for me is the lovely people and animals, good conversations, tranquility, beautiful nature, delicious food and learning new things (especially about natural building)
5 star experience, well actually a 5 heart experience!!!
Dankeschon!
Muito obrigada

I can hardly find fitting words to describe the wonderful time I had at the Mount of Oaks. Really, every day was such a gift, because the people are so kind and peaceful, the land is beautiful, the animals and plants are amazing... I enjoyed living at the Mount of Oaks a lot. The work was very diversified and we often worked in pairs or split the work. To be honest, it didn't feel like I was 'working' at all because we were surrounded by beautiful nature. I enjoyed the great view across the Portuguese landscape.

However, the main reason my time was so memorable was thanks to the people living there! Emma, Barbara, Eric and Marcia (and Samuel:) were so so kind, caring and positive! From the first day, I felt welcome. They fully integrated me in the living rythum of the place.

Finally, the land itself is really beautiful and the flowers, plants and trees are growing as I would love to see it everywhere around the globe. ;)

The Mount of Oaks is great place to stay, to reconnect and to BE!

I definitely want to come back and i would recommend it to everyone.
Thank you!

Staying, doing herbal walks and facilitating a workshop was a great experience at Mount of Oaks.
The place is very peaceful and cosy, the food deliciously organic and local and the hosts are very friendly people.
I recommend it for those in need of a real immersion in nature.. no sound of cars anywhere near. Very peaceful.
