Forever I will remember my time at the Mount of Oaks with the foundest memories. Weeks spent on the land gave me such happiness. There was a real sense of belonging.

For me, the project itself is so diverse and inspiring. I feel the place incorporates the whole ethics of permaculture in a practical way.

While volunteering, I helped out on the land and met amazing people. I laughed whole heartedly, shared food and stories and by chance met people I now call friend.

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!
