Five Days at Moinhos

A little adventure every day. Plenty of time to do nothing.

Break the Routine

Leave everyday life behind and spend five days at our little off-grid homestead by the River Dão.

Wake up without rushing, enjoy good food and discover something new each day. Join us in the garden, learn a practical skill, explore the river and woodland or simply find a quiet spot to yourself.

There's always something to do, but nothing you have to do.

A Little Adventure Every Day.

Every season brings something different to Moinhos. Discover the gardens, try something new, explore the old mills or simply enjoy being outdoors.

There's always something to experience, but nothing you have to do.

Discover what's growing in our gardens. Pick seasonal vegetables, collect herbs or turn something from the harvest into a homemade treat.

Garden & Harvest
Life at Moinhos

Meet the animals, explore the old watermills and discover how we live off-grid, using energy from the sun and river.

Try something new with your hands. Preserve fruit, make herbal salts, cook together or enjoy a little creative time.

Make & Create
Time for Yourself

Swim in the river, wander through the woodland, read a book or simply find a quiet spot and enjoy doing nothing.

Good Food, Shared Around the Table

Good food is part of everyday life at Moinhos. We love cooking with seasonal ingredients from our garden and sharing meals around the table.

Start your morning with a breakfast basket in your apartment. Later, we come together for home-cooked vegetarian lunches and dinners.

Sometimes preparing the food becomes part of the adventure too, whether we're preserving the harvest, trying a new recipe or cooking together.
