Often referred to as the ‘Tuscany of Portugal’, with its beautiful sun-drenched rolling landscapes dotted with sleepy villages, surrounded by cork trees and olive groves.

If you are searching for nature, sun, relaxation and amazing food, this is a place where all your senses will be stimulated and satisfied.
The luxurious property is situated high on a hill overlooking the beautiful Alentejo landscape. It consists of separate buildings located around the 8 hectare/20 acre property. There are 5 bedrooms in the main house and a further 5 bedrooms outside the main house including 2 wooden bungalows on stilts. All are individually styled with en-suite bathrooms offering a different experience from their various locations.
Berny was born in Mozambique and Glenn was born in Australia. They met and married in South Africa. With their love for life and experiencing new cultures, they travelled all over the world, working and living in London, Singapore, Russia, and The Netherlands before settling in Portugal. These experiences have shaped and influenced how they brought their dream to fruition with the realization of ‘Paraíso Escondido’ (Hidden Paradise).
Berny and Glenn have a passion for nature and sustainability, and both have creativity at the heart of everything they do, given that Berny is also an artist and Glenn was a senior executive in the advertising world before giving up the corporate business life. These experiences also helped shape their desire to build a different type of hospitality business that focuses on helping their guests to immerse themselves in nature in order to heal and grow on their spiritual path.
