About this property
Shangrila Retreat. A place to unwind and relax
Shangrila retreat is nestled up in the hills , 5 mins from the market town of Loule. Peaceful & tranquil, with stunning sea views. Beautiful gardens surround this traditionally renovated farmhouse which can accommodate up to 2 adults, with a child and infant bed available if required.
Shangrila Retreat occupies the entire upstairs space at this property and offers superb sea views across the countryside towards the coast. The private entrance is via outside steps up the side of the farmhouse which leads to a secluded terrace with table and chairs for al fresco dining. There is a large spacious double bedroom with en suite bath/shower and a kitchenette equipped with fridge, twin hob, kettle and utensils for the preparation of light meals.
The space retains traditional farmhouse features including stone tile flooring throughout and high-beamed bamboo ceilings with fans.
Breakfast is not included, but can be provided at a cost of €8 per person per day and is served on the communal terrace and can be comprised of freshly squeezed juice or a fruit of the season, a fresh salad of seasonal fruits, wholemeal croissant with butter and homemade preserves or eggs prepared any which way. All produce is organic where possible and locally sourced, if not picked from the garden that morning!
Your host David worked as a Doctor of Natural Medicine for 30 years in and around London, encompassing Nutritional, Herbal and Energetic Medicine approaches to healing. He is always happy to share and answer any questions related to natural approaches to healing.
Yoga classes and natural treatments also available.
Guests have access to a secure pool area with sun loungers and swing hammock, a meditation pod, shaded terrace area with seating and a large mature garden with almond, olive and various fruit trees. Guests may also enjoy a tree-house situated in an ancient carob tree, doze in hammocks nestled in the fig tree and cook in the poolside barbecue area.
