Tucked away in the countryside near Penamacor, central Portugal, Quintinha do Sossego is our small farm of tranquillity, a place we're slowly bringing back to life.
We're Callum and Morwenna, swapping Cornwall for olive trees, open skies and a rather different pace of life. Along the way we're restoring an old stone ruin, developing the land, growing food, keeping animals and creating a place where others can come and enjoy this beautiful, often overlooked corner of Portugal too.
In time, you'll be able to stay at Casinha do Sossego, explore the countryside and join us for a growing collection of rural experiences.
Until then, you can follow the whole adventure, including the successes, mistakes and potentially poorly thought-through projects, as we build Quintinha do Sossego.
Bem-vindos. Welcome to our little corner of Portugal.
Where to find us
Near Penamacor, in Portugal's Beira Baixa, close to the Serra da Malcata and the Spanish border.
Our old stone ruin is being brought back to life as a peaceful little guest cottage in the Portuguese countryside.
A simple, characterful base for slowing down, exploring and experiencing this beautiful corner of central Portugal.
We're developing a small collection of relaxed, personal experiences designed around the place, the animals and the changing seasons.
Slow down. Explore. Experience rural Portugal.
