Location

The Alentejo is a region in rural Portugal that exudes natural beauty and serenity. It boasts of vast landscapes of rolling hills and golden wheat fields, speckled with ancient olive and oak groves.

Tabula Rasa Retreat is just a few kilometres from the Alqueva dark sky region, with stars spectacularly visible from the grounds of our centre. Well served by numerous airlines, the international airport is a popular hub. Trans-continental rail services pass through Lisbon railway station. Road access is highly efficient if travelling from afar or nearby.

We will pick you up and drop you off at the airport.

The surrounding atmosphere is perfumed with the scent of wild herbs, and the sounds of braying donkeys and whinnying horses can be heard in the background. The region is also home to picturesque villages, known for their blue, yellow and white stucco houses, and narrow, winding streets. The local people are friendly and hospitable, often inviting visitors to share a meal of traditional, rustic cuisine.

The Alentejo is a place of rich cultural heritage, with ancient castles, churches, Roman ruins and Moorish fortifications scattered throughout the countryside. Additionally, it is home to several nature reserves and national parks, which are home to diverse wildlife and unspoiled forests.
