    Not negative, but thinks to be aware of that come with this type of accommodation: - Mountain hut is about 50 m and a little hike up hill away from the common area - it gets a bit warm in the hut during the day (we were there end of August), no fan available - Smoking is only allowed in a designated space in the common area

    Beautiful and peaceful place. Comfortable common area. Cooking allowed (unless on certain days in the evening). Amazing view from the hut. Outside shower and toilet. Power plugs and standing lights in the hut. Lovely stuff with helpful advices about the area. Plentiful breakfast with several vegan options. Overall, we did enjoy our stay, but struggled a bit with the distance from the mountain hut to the common area/car. If coming again, we would choose a tent closer to the common space.

    Amazing place, really nice staff and breakfast. Not enough hot water in the shower but its good enough for an ecological farm. Had a really good experience, really hope to go back again. Really special place.

    There was nothing NOT to like about the property, but it might be good to know that the road to the farm is not lit and is very bumpy. Also challenging for wheelchair users.

    Lovely, relaxing place to stay in the middle of Aljezur’s green nature. At arrival, Joana gave us a warm welcome and guided tour. The accommodation we booked consisted of a tent with a double bed and 2 single beds, which made it a super large place. Outside was the ecological toilet and shower, which was a real revelation. We felt like reborn after only two nights connecting with nature. Great recommendation!

    We really enjoyed our stay in Nature. It is truely inspiring to see how Joana and Mario embrace nature. All accomodation is hand made and has an unique design. We had a very warm welcome by one of staff members Franchesca who gave us a small tour and showed us our romantic hill hut. Thx for this nice experience! Kr Milan and Demi

    Unique place. Chill vibe. Excellent breakfast. Great service. Perfect for access to surfing beaches. A bit far from Lagos/Faro but has all you need in city center. Worth the experience. All details well thought through.

    Really no ‘didn’t likes’, more things that ‘would’ve been good to know’ - its a bit of a bumpy 10min car ride from the main road to the location - teepee tent is quite far removed from the parking so its a bit of a climb to get there with all of your things - they do have WiFi but it’s unsecured and open (in most places around the property there’s at least some regular cellular reception if you really need it so also not a big deal) - the natural lake has dried up because there hasn’t been any rain for a long time which is not something QA can do something about obviously and is actually just sad.

    Beautiful location tucked away in the hills just a little outside of Aljezur, the teepee tent is spacious and overlooks a large part of the property’s land which gives great views, there’s great sky gazing at night from the teepee as well, they grow almost all the food themselves, very balanced with nature in all aspects, from food to facilities. The breakfast is very nice and the host that does the welcoming is very friendly, the people they recommend for surfing lessons are amazing. Close to a variety of beaches which are all breathtaking.

    Extremely disappointing
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Riverside Deluxe Tent
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Tent exterior unusable: no terrace, brambles on the ground in front of the tent, no maintenance so no desire to use the wobbly outdoor table in the tall grass). A far cry from the instagram photos or the website. An exorbitant price (160 euros / night) for a tent which is not the "premium safari one", where the heat is unbearable during the day, and the night is humid... A cold shower in the morning... Not to mention the meal offered in the evening... 80 euros for 3 people including a 2.5 year old baby... To eat organic vegetables from the garden and a piece of meat with rice. 5 euros for a local craft beer. The bill comes to a hefty 420 euros for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner. No reply to a request on the booking message board regarding the price of the activities on offer... No meeting or communication with the owners. Based on the comments and photos, we were looking forward to discovering this place... We left extremely disappointed, with the feeling that we had been defrauded. Ecology, catering and hospitality are professions with real 'know-how', and given your price positioning, it's not right to work only with untrained volunteers! With regret. I wish you all the best.

    Nature. Calm. Breakfast.

    The staff was mainly volunteers. This is great at first, but they were sometimes unfriendly. After we have requested 3 x more blankets, we have received dirty blankets on.

    Really nice place in the pure nature
