About the location
Vale do Lobo is a beautiful coastal resort in the heart of the Algarve, Portugal , known for its golden beaches, dramatic red cliffs, and lush green landscapes. The area is surrounded by rolling hills, pine forests, and scenic walking paths, offering plenty of opportunities to explore nature.
Our retreat house is a large, traditional holiday home. Tucked away from the main road and with panoramic views of the Algarve hills, you can enjoy the quiet and greenery of the region.
The property has over 15 rooms, three living/dining rooms for communal writing space, and three outdoor terraces to enjoy meals outside. The property also has a large pool.
The beach is a 15-minute walk away, perfect for a writing break.
