Refugio Quinta Nere Matia

Set among the quiet landscapes of Portugal’s Ribatejo, Refúgio da Quinta Nere Maitia is a boutique retreat born from Simone and Patrick’s dream: to create a welcoming, authentic, and deeply restorative place where nature, wellness, and hospitality come together.

The Refúgio is made up of handcrafted Eco Villas immersed in greenery, designed to offer comfort, simplicity, and harmony with the environment. Every detail, from the materials to the interiors, pays tribute to Portuguese tradition and to the essential beauty of slow living.

Here, guests are invited to disconnect from the rhythm of everyday life, breathe deeply, and rediscover a more authentic connection with themselves and with nature. You can swim in a crystal-clear natural pool, wander through organic gardens, relax in the shade, practice yoga, meditate, or simply enjoy the stillness of the countryside.

The 10 themed bungalows are inspired by the different regions of Portugal, from Alentejo to Madeira, from the Azores to the Douro, from Minho to Ribatejo. Each accommodation tells a piece of Portuguese culture and offers an intimate, comfortable, and atmospheric experience. Private rooms in the owners’ house are also available, perfect for those who wish to enjoy an even more familiar style of hospitality.

The day begins with a homemade breakfast, served in your room or in the shared spaces for groups. Upon request, guests can enjoy authentic gastronomic experiences, private dinners, cooking workshops, and tastings with local chefs and producers.

The Meraki Center completes the experience with a multifunctional space dedicated to yoga, Pilates, massages, workshops, meetings, team building, and corporate events. It is a bright and peaceful environment designed to encourage creativity, well-being, and connection.

The location is ideal for discovering the authentic charm of Ribatejo and the surrounding regions: historic castles, local wineries, traditional villages, the Mira de Aire Caves, the spectacular waves of Nazaré, nature trails, horseback riding, canoeing, cultural visits, and guided excursions.

Refúgio da Quinta Nere Maitia is sustainable by choice and deeply peaceful by nature. It offers services designed for a comfortable and conscious stay, including accessible parking, electric vehicle charging stations, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, in-room breakfast, sun loungers and umbrellas, board games, security systems, cashless payments, and facilities for guests with disabilities.
