What was it like to stay here? Well, since swearing (positively) is probably not the right etiquette, we will limit our response to AWESOME! Sarah and Jon are extremely welcoming and flexible, the room was comfortable and peaceful. Our room had cooking facilities (not all rooms do we believe), optional vegan meals are offered on advance request, so even if you can’t/won’t cook it’s not a problem. Although you do ideally need a car to get there, it’s easy to do long walks and we did, loved it. It’s not far to drive for other options too, great location for west or south coast beaches, Sarah and Jon have loads of recommendations for beach visits and eating, too many for us to fit in during our all too short visit. ;) The entrance down (a relatively short steep bumpy road in a hill) would be a challenge for low car, but we understand that is being rectified as soon as possible (and may already be so when you read this review, so do check with the hosts if you are unsure). They have 3 very friendly small dogs who will come and say hello briefly unless you ask the hosts to keep them away, which we didn’t find necessary, they were lovely. The hosts also run yoga retreats which we imagine are super, we would be back sooner but there are other retreats already booked on the dates we would like to visit, so book early to ensure you can experience this place. :)

We are a vegan couple (Sarah and Jon) living in the mountains of the Algarve, Portugal with our three rescue dogs Kota, Loki and Mimi. We left the UK looking for a slower-paced and more sustainable life. We are creating a vegan B&B and also a retreat space to facilitate others on their health and wellness journeys. We look forward to hosting fellow vegans and veg-curious people in our Hidden Valley in the mountains.

Fabulous Getaway! Sarah and Jon are very welcoming. They were kind, and patient with our unexpectedly late-night arrival. The Studio is cozy and spacious at the same time. Everything was super clean and modern. Their beautiful house is located in a very quiet area with beautiful nature and just a short ride from spectacular views of the rest of the Algarve. We enjoyed our stay and chatting with Sarah and Jon very much. We would love to be back very very soon. I wish you all the best! <3 Den & Filipe
