OUR RETREATS
Monte da Japónica opened for retreats under the Shadows in the Grass brand in early 2022. We organise our own retreats and co-host retreats led by third parties. All retreat packages include accommodation, three deliciously nourishing meals per day and offer a daily trip to explore local towns and villages as well as a daily walk in the forest. Longer walks, up to four hours, can be arranged.
All our retreats offer full board with the exception of one evening meal that is taken in a local restaurant. Weather-permitting, an outdoor evening picnic will also be arranged. Our food is largely vegetarian though meat and fish dishes are provided. We rely heavily on local herbs including oregano and pennyroyal. Vegans are fully catered for and most our food is gluten-free.
NOURISHMENT
Our food is largely vegetarian using locally sourced products
A NOTE ON ALCOHOL
We neither encourage nor discourage drinking alcohol
Even though Monte da Japónica is located in Portugal’s premium wine producing regions, we do not serve alcohol and the hosts themselves do not drink. However, there is an honesty bar on-site with a selection of local white and red wines and guests are welcome to drink their own wine at meals.
