Quinta Camarena

Genoten van de Not So Serious Retreat ‘24. We waren met een fantastische groep, waarvan een deel de yoga retreat deed en een deel de fitness retreat. Er was een fijne fitness instructeur, die elke les duidelijke uitleg gaf en echt aan kon passen op je eigen niveau. Cam & Vera zijn de meest lieve eigenaren, die alles doen om het je naar je zin te maken. Elke keer als iemand iets nodig had, kwamen ze je helpen. Er was heerlijk eten, wat elke dag anders was en elke dag weer verrukkelijk. De activiteiten waren ook erg tof; zoals een bezoek aan een wijngaard, een hike over de fishermanstrail, een dip in de zee. De sfeer op het terrein en bij alle activiteiten was erg gezellig en het was goed georganiseerd!

We just finishing hosting our second art retreat at Quinta Camarena. There is so much to love about this place but it starts with Cam and Vera. Once you have taken Vera’s tour of the property and hear their story, you understand their purposeful vision for Quinta Camarena. Their commitment to sustainability and supporting the local artisans, farmers and producers is obvious everywhere you turn. The farm to table food is exceptional and nourishing – it’s made with fresh, seasonal ingredients which are all sourced locally - if not grown right on their property. The studio space is magical with floor to ceiling doors that open into a beautiful pine forest. It is the perfect spot for a retreat to relax, soak up nature and get inspired!

We loved our time at Quinta Camarena. As an older couple we felt very comfortable with the group. The atmosphere was so laid back and the activities were spot on. The hosts are really friendly and chilled and always to hand if you need something. A fantastic break .. We highly recommend!

Met 5 vriendinnen een geweldige tijd gehad op Quinta Camarena. De omgeving was beeldschoon, hosts Vera en Cam waren betrokken en enthousiast en de koks maakten elke dag een zalige brunch en vega diner. De (optionele) activiteiten (yoga, paardrijden, hiken en wijnproeven) waren leuk en goed georganiseerd. Een aanrader!

What a place, I can't fault it in anyway. Cam and Vera are amazing hosts and work so hard to make you feel welcome and comfortable in their beautiful Quinta. The activities allowed you to really explore the area and get a feel for what it has to offer. The laid back vibe made everyone feel very chilled and it was easy to get on with all the other people on the yoga retreat. I'll definitely be back and already I'm spreading the word to my friends-although I don't want it to become too popular :)

My husband and I attended the Yoga, surf and wine retreat after a busy week before visiting Porto and Lisbon. It was a great way to relax and we enjoyed the yoga and Surfing very much. Everything was organised for us and it was so nice to be looked after so well. The visit to the vineyard and the local artisans was great fun. The hotel was lovely - and loved the location in the woods and being part of the Camarena family home, Cam and Vera were exceptional hosts and managed to get us all to the right place at the right time. Breakfast was delicious especially the lovely sourdough and the freshly made cakes and fresh fruit. The vegetarian dinners were great and we enjoyed our visits to the local restaurants also organised by Cam and Vera. The whole week was very sociable. The pool was lovely to relax by when we had time after all our activities and we really enjoyed meeting all the other travellers. Oh my god the massage was the best ever! Thank you for a fabulous few days.
