Absolutely stunning place with the most lovely owners and staff. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I spent last week at Quinta Camarena. I chose the Surf and Yoga option while she did the Fitness. We had a great time! The owners Cam and Vera have prioritised sustainability with local sourcing and created a beautiful retreat. The food and accommodation are both excellent. It is small enough to feel like "staying with friends" but also has plenty of lovely spaces if you want to be by yourself. We didn't know anyone else before we came but soon made friends with the people that were there last week. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable stay at Quinta Camarena. Every single space on the property is absolutely stunning, combining modern comfort with the authentic rural soul of Alentejo in a truly harmonious way. The entire staff was exceptional, always welcoming and attentive, with a special mention to Vera and Cam, who made the experience even more personal and memorable. Their warmth and dedication made us feel genuinely at home. This was the perfect place to disconnect from routine, slow down, and recharge energy. What also stood out was the beautiful connection between Quinta Camarena and the local community of Cercal do Alentejo — something you can truly feel when visiting the village and interacting with its people. A peaceful, authentic, and inspiring place that we will definitely return to.

I loved every minute of my four-night stay here. We were welcomed like old friends on arrival and this continued throughout our stay. Vera and Cam were engaged every day and were friendly, accommodating and helpful at all times. The other staff were amazing too and their hard work behind the scenes made the whole experience feel effortless and casual. The food was beautiful and plentiful as was the honesty bar, which is a great touch. The yoga facilities are gorgeous and the teachers were excellent. If you are looking at this retreat, do not hesitate and book it now! You can thank me later.

Beautiful and peaceful place for a relaxing break. Friendly people and delicious homemade local food. Nice pool and areas for relaxing with a book. 10 minutes walk to the town of Cercal where there are several cafés etc. 20 minutes drive to some nice beaches. Would love to return!
