Your gathering,
our grounds.
Weddings. Milestone birthdays. Corporate retreats. Vow renewals. Family reunions. Yoga intensives. Wellness workshops. The property — yours.
Every kind of celebration.
Weddings
An intimate wedding in the Algarve countryside, where the setting does most of the work. The garden terrace for the ceremony. The Siam kitchen for a wedding dinner that is actually memorable. The pool for the afternoon. Nine rooms for the people who matter most. No venue hire fee that swallows the budget — the property rate covers everything.

Vow Renewals
A vow renewal in the Algarve is a different kind of occasion — smaller, more intentional, without the pressure of a first wedding. The garden terrace, a long lunch at Siam, an afternoon by the pool with the people who were there the first time. Some couples bring only each other. Others bring ten. Both are right.

Milestone Birthdays
A 50th birthday. A 60th. A 40th that deserves more than a hired room above a pub. The whole property, for a long weekend in Portugal. Rooms for the group, the pool for the afternoon, Siam for the evening, the garden for the morning after. The kind of birthday that people talk about the following year.

Family Reunions
When the family is scattered across three countries and a reunion needs to be worth the flights. Nine rooms means up to 18 guests sleeping on the property. The pool is big enough for everyone. The breakfast table accommodates all of them. Siam handles dinner. The only thing left to organise is who gets which room.

Corporate Retreats
A quarterly planning session that people actually want to attend. A leadership offsite that produces real decisions. Strategy days that benefit from being far from the office, in a place that doesn't feel corporate. Meeting space, working breakfast, a Siam lunch, a pool afternoon — and a team that boards the flight home remembering why they do what they do.

Wellness & Yoga Intensives
A yoga retreat in the Algarve countryside. A health and wellness workshop for a group who deserves more than a hotel meeting room. The terrace for morning practice. The gardens for breathwork and meditation. Siam's kitchen for plant-forward meals. The pool for recovery. A setting that supports the work, rather than working against it.

What you have access to.
Nine Rooms
Four distinct room types. Mountain views, garden access, ground-floor terraces. Up to 18 guests sleeping on the property — everyone together, no one in a chain hotel ten minutes away.
The Garden Terrace
Stone paving, citrus and herb borders, the Serra do Caldeirão as a backdrop. Ceremonies, receptions, morning yoga, sunset drinks — the terrace works for all of it.
Saltwater Pool
Fifty square metres surrounded by fig and olive trees. Sun loungers, shade, towels. The pool is yours for the duration of your booking — no timed slots, no shared hours.
Siam Thai Restaurant
On-site restaurant available for private group dining. Menus built around the garden and your preferences. Wedding dinners, group lunches, celebratory breakfasts — the kitchen accommodates.
The Grounds & Farm
Herb garden, orchard, and working farm. Space for outdoor activities, workshops, and the kind of slow morning that doesn't exist anywhere near an airport hotel.
Roof Terrace
Panoramic views across the countryside. Sunrise sessions, evening gatherings, star-gazing in a location with no light pollution. The quietest hour of the day belongs up here.
The setting that makes the occasion.
Fifteen minutes from Faro International Airport. Twenty minutes from the beach. Completely private once the gate closes. This is the Algarve that existed before the holiday industry arrived — cork oaks, stone walls, the smell of fig and rosemary. It is not manufactured. It is not themed. It is a real place, available for the occasions that deserve one.
The property is suited to gatherings that require genuine privacy, a kitchen that takes food seriously, accommodation that keeps everyone in one place, and a setting that removes the need for elaborate decoration. The property is peaceful. The food is great. The view is already there. Your event simply arrives into it.
An occasion where every person at the table knows why they were invited. Where the meal is made to be tasted, not managed from a service window. Where the property does the work so the host can actually be present.
