My week staying at the Mount of Oaks has been just what I needed; time to rest, read, walk and talk. Spending time in the beautiful Portuguese countryside and a chance to switch off..

I have been welcomed so warmly by the community and the sun! This is a place of love, kindness, hospitality, joy and hard work. The desire of everyone here to live with respect and gratitude for nature, people and animals has been inspiring and life-giving.

I’ve enjoyed a full-moon swim in the pond, a yoga class, walking in the mountains, a thai massage from Emma, delicious food and a very comfortable room shared with Simba the cat!

I’ll be back! 5 STARS!
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.

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
