We're a little eco-community in the making in the heart of the Serra de São Mamede. We moved on our land in September 2024 with the vision of creating a sustainable, intentional community. "We" includes my partner Miriam and our Kids (7 and 4 and 9 months) In our community group there are more parties staying here for different times of the year.

I had a lovely time at the the community! Lukas, Miriam, their kids, and their animals were all very welcoming. The tasks were manageable, even for someone like me who isn't used to outdoor work. My favourite was building new garden beds! The land is beautiful and abundant, and a great place to disconnect in nature. I loved exploring the area by bike, including the nearby waterfall, river beach, and Roman ruins. It was inspiring to see what they're building here, and I can't wait to see what they're able to grow this the community into!

It was a wonderful setting for learning more about how to care for the land while respecting nature.
Lukas, Miriam, and their children, along with the other families there, created a welcoming environment where everyone could contribute in their own way. The tasks we did were varied, ranging from watering the plants to building wooden stairs and gathering resources, depending on what was needed at the moment. There are also some really nice places to visit in the area.
In conclusion, I would 100% recommend this experience!
Also, I'll add a special mention to the delicious vegan food we ate ;)

I absolutely loved staying here. It's definitely the place if you're looking for a nature retreat or enjoy history—for excursions Marvão is perfect and there are romantic ruins! Their land is beautiful and a total escape into the mountains, there's a waterfall and lake within biking distance. The village is adorable and all the kids and families are so sweet— i can not express the kindness of lukas and his family! Very accommodating, understanding, and caring!

My experience at the the community was much better than I expected in many ways. I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable from the beginning. Lukas and Miriam always checked in to make sure everything was going well and if there was anything to improve. It's a great place to disconnect but also suitable if you need to keep working like I did. The tasks are planned together based on your abilities and preferences which makes everything flexible and fair. I would definitely recommend this experience. I'm also very grateful for the amazing vegan food, the conversations and the lovely moments ❤️

A beautiful place with beautiful people, truly an authentic and meaningful experience. Lukas and Melina are wonderful people who love to help and make sure you're comfortable always, for what you get the work is more than worth it, and all the work becomes so easy while being surrounded by the nature and the easy vibes of the the community. Everyone is friendly and helping each other, they also adapt the work for your own comfort and make sure you're feeling good with it. recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to disconnect and learn how possible it is to live sustainably and freely
