Everyone loves the caravan. It’s been completely refitted and has the feel of a wooden cabin, but it’s really light and airy with great views across the hills. It is located in the heart of the camp, close to all facilities.

Location
How to get there
We are 1.5 hours from Faro airport, or 2 hours from Lisbon. From either airport, you can easily catch a train. They leave 3 or 4 times a day to Funcheira station, 20 minutes from us. We can pick you up from there.
About the area
If you have transport, you may enjoy exploring the neighbourhood (there is no public transport locally). We are located about 45 minutes' drive from both the South and West Coasts of Portugal, where you can find beautiful beaches and friendly villages. We are 8km from the village of Sao Martinho Das Amoreiras and the Mooji community. There are a couple of restaurants there, Casa Nirvana is a multicultural social hub with international cuisine, and Poco Novo is a very typical small Portuguese cafe that serves lunch. There is also a lively monthly artisan market. The historic town of Silves is 30 minutes or so away, and there are often local markets to check out. In short, if you feel the need to explore, there is lots to interest you.
Glamping owner
Matteo
We live here in Alentejo with our herd of horses roaming freely over 30 hectares. We distill the wild aromatic plants to make essential oil, hydrosol, and healing potions. Our off-grid eco-camp is a haven of tranquillity surrounded by wild nature, where you can break away from every day things and drop off the edge of the world. Far from the electronic over-stimulation that is modern life you can reconnect with yourself.
Nayana is a lifelong student of the horse who has had the great good fortune of spending most of her life in their company. She is also an aromatherapist and herbalist, and her day job is teaching people how to support animals holistically.
Dado and Nayana first met on horseback on a cattle drive in Oregon, USA. A few months later Nayana found herself on the way to New Mexico, where Dado had taken the horses when the ranch in Oregon folded. She went for a weekend, and never left.
Since then they have had many adventures together all around the world, until they embarked on their biggest one ever here in Portugal. Dado’s creative ingenuity has built this place from a piece of land with nothing but a well on it, to a thriving ecological home for everyone. He’s also a great cook and entertaining story teller who keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously.
Teddy and Matteo came to volunteer for a couple of months, That was in 2022! They knew nothing about horses or distillation when they arrived but dived right in and discovered that this is the life they’d been dreaming of! And we found we didn’t want to live without them, so here they still are.
