Our luxurious rooms are individually decorated and full of history and charm. The Quinta sleeps a total of 20 guests when sharing across 10 private bedrooms. Our rooms feature en-suite bathrooms. Rooms are divided over three different areas of the farm: The Oak Lodge, The Orchard Row & Rose Cottage, and The Willows.
All rooms are equipped with coffee and tea facilities and reusable water bottles. The thick walls keep heat out in summer and there are fans for those extra hot days. In winter underfloor heating and woolen blankets keep you nice and warm. Our comfortable beds are made with luxury linen, and both bath and pool towels are provided. Every bathroom has a hairdryer, shampoo, and body wash for you to use. We love for you to disconnect whilst you’re here, but if needed, there is complimentary Wi-Fi available.
A big part of Quinta Carvalhas is the food they grow, prepare and serve to their guests. In fact, the food they serve is one of the biggest reasons their guests want to stay on the farm and not go home – there is genuine delight and surprise that vegetarian food can be so incredibly tasty.
Whilst you relax our team will strive to create the tastiest food with the best possible ingredients to leave you feeling nourished and nurtured. All meals are 100% vegetarian, we do however cater to the following diets: vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, and nut-free.
The shala’s natural stone walls and daylight provide the perfect setting to sit in silence, stretch, chant, or move. This temperature-controlled room comfortably accommodates up to 25 yogis so we have plenty of space to stretch out and is equipped with an assortment of yoga props (mats, bolsters, blocks, straps, blankets, and Feet-Up stools), as well as a sound system and various light plans.
We have a full itinerary of different styles of yoga, meditation, breathwork and workouts that we will use this stunning space for throughout your stay
The outdoor shala is located a 10-15 minute walk from the main buildings at the farm and is overlooking the natural pond. The perfect spot for a picnic, a refreshing dip in the water, or a sunset activity on the wooden outdoor deck.

Enjoy the tranquil meditation garden: a slice of paradise with large trees, shaded, winding walkways and a koi pond with fountain. Whether it is sitting on one of the benches or feeling the earth under your feet during a barefoot walking meditation, you can be sure to find serenity and peace here.
Our pool and surrounds are the focal point of summer activities with guests lounging on the pool deck or the grass or enjoying poolside alfresco dining. Bordered by tall shady pine trees and expansive lawns, this area will be used for outdoor retreat activities and is available for you to relax and read a book.
