“Stranger, here you will do well to tarry; here our highest good is pleasure”
Our philosophy
Inspired by Epicurus “garden” philosophy, our nature retreat in Serra d’Arrábida, was designed bearing your wellbeing in mind. Like the Epicurean garden, apart from the city, this private eco-friendly lodge with breathtaking ocean views celebrates pleasure as the principle for a happy and healthy way of living, relying on three premises:
- "When pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together."
- "The goal of all acts is a serene and blissful state of mind."
- "It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely, honorably, and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely, honourably and justly without living pleasantly."
IN THE AREA
Get in touch with nature and explore the surroundings on your own or with the help of a local guide. Ride a bike through the evergreen landscape of Serra d’Arrábida, a horse next to the seashore or hike to discover a hidden beach
Sesimbra is a town full of nice surprises and also offers historic landmarks such as a medieval castle. In case you’re a foodie, small seafood restaurants and local wineries are also available
