I ended up here during our city trip from Porto to Lisbon, but felt our stay was far too short. If you\u2019re looking for true peace and quiet, you\u2019ll find it here. We stayed at \u201cThe Nest,\u201d a 200-meter walk from the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/en\/nature-stay-in-portugal\/accommodations-cooking-and-nature-hotel\/\">Cooking and Nature hotel<\/a>.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimalist architecture<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fantastic in-room breakfast service and a beautiful, minimalist design, built entirely of wood. Our bedroom overlooked the pool and the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed the peace and quiet on the balcony.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking Classes and Pottery Workshops at The Nest<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your stay at the Nest, you can enjoy all the facilities at the Cooking and Nature Emotion hotel. In addition to cooking classes, you can also participate in pottery workshops led by Jos\u00e9 Siphioni (check Instagram).   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fine dining with natural ingredients<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nest building is home to Terruja, a fine-dining restaurant that focuses on natural ingredients. The Nest also has its own swimming pool. Here, you\u2019ll find yourself in the heart of the Serra d\u2019Aire and Candeeiros. The rooms feature a minimalist design and are made entirely of wood. You\u2019ll enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding olive groves.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Nest: Natural Environment<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sleepy little village of Alvados has a friendly atmosphere and features a single restaurant. Here, you\u2019re right in the heart of Portugal, with countless options for hiking, biking, or horseback riding trips. We enjoyed a fantastic e-bike trip using GPX routes. It was late February, and the weather was perfect for biking. In the spring, you\u2019ll find 35 species of orchids here.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sensory Walk &amp; Nature Bath<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon request, you can take a<strong> meditative nature walk<\/strong> at the Nest. Whether alone, as a couple, or in a group, you\u2019ll enjoy mindfulness in a natural setting. This meditative walk in Alvados combines mindfulness, yoga, and a tea ritual featuring traditional herbs from the Serra d\u2019Aire e Candeeiros. Connect with nature to reduce stress and meditate. The five senses are combined with the four elements of nature: conscious breathing, freedom of movement, and guided meditation. Advance reservations are required, and there is a fee.
