Quinta Camarena

Highly Recommend! Big thanks Vera for being so great to arrange the logistics of our retreat so easily . And many thanks to you and Cam for creating this magical haven in Alentejo. It is wonderful to explore yoga and handstands surrounded by beautiful trees. The food is soo delicious and local/ organic. Those working at Quinta are so warm and talented. Next time we surf! Obrigado 🙏 até ao próximo! Also book a photography sess with Cam - Top / super skilled.

Whatever reason you are considering going to Quinta Camerena for just do it. It's a magical place. You can connect with yourself, connect with nature, connect with other people or simply just chill in a beautiful setting. As a bonus all the food is absolutely fabulous and plentiful, all made using local ingredients or bought from local producers. And the owners Cam & Vera plus the GM Marco couldn't be any warmer and deliver that perfect balance of letting you be whilst knowing they are around if you need them. We definitely didn't want to leave but came home feeling relaxed, energised and very grateful for the experience.

We loved our time at Quinta Camarena. As an older couple we felt very comfortable with the group. The atmosphere was so laid back and the activities were spot on. The hosts are really friendly and chilled and always to hand if you need something. A fantastic break .. We highly recommend!

One feels welcome from the first moment. There’s a good energy at that place, which brings you to rest and come to yourself. While you do your Yoga, there’s the nice smell of the pines around... We enjoyed the wonderful varieties of the breakfast buffet made of handmade organic foods. Nicely located out of Cercal but close enough to walk into town. Our favorite beach is Praia da Ilha do Pessegueiro, a 25 minutes drive, with a wonderful restaurant having good seafood. A great place for a romantic sundowner. Vera and Cam, hope to see you again.

My husband and I attended the Yoga, surf and wine retreat after a busy week before visiting Porto and Lisbon. It was a great way to relax and we enjoyed the yoga and Surfing very much. Everything was organised for us and it was so nice to be looked after so well. The visit to the vineyard and the local artisans was great fun. The hotel was lovely - and loved the location in the woods and being part of the Camarena family home, Cam and Vera were exceptional hosts and managed to get us all to the right place at the right time. Breakfast was delicious especially the lovely sourdough and the freshly made cakes and fresh fruit. The vegetarian dinners were great and we enjoyed our visits to the local restaurants also organised by Cam and Vera. The whole week was very sociable. The pool was lovely to relax by when we had time after all our activities and we really enjoyed meeting all the other travellers. Oh my god the massage was the best ever! Thank you for a fabulous few days.

Stayed in the magical surroundings of Quinta Camarena on a 5day yoga retreat. Five stars all round. Cam and Vera were amazing hosts, who couldn’t have been more welcoming and generous with their time. Loads of fantastic activities which were all optional, the food and wine were plentiful and delicious, rooms were clean and the yoga was suitable for all levels. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a retreat that offers lots of fun as well as yoga.
