Nature & Silence Retreat. At Tinhela610, in the wild heart of northern Portugal, silence is not an absence — it is a presence. The land itself invites you to slow, to breathe, to soften. Tucked between forest and river, our small, secluded sanctuary welcomes just two to eight guests at a time, allowing space, privacy, and quiet attention. Nothing here asks you to become more. It simply invites you to remember what is already whole.

Timelessness. This is a place to step out of the digital current and back into the natural rhythm of things. Days unfold with gentle rituals: wood-fired Finnish sauna, river immersions, breath and movement, guided meditation, long walks beneath chestnut and pine. Phones can rest with us, if you wish. Birds take their place. The river becomes your clock. In this stillness, the nervous system settles and something deeper begins to speak.

Nourishment at Tinhela610 is both humble and refined. Half penison meals (brunch and dinner) are prepared with care from our permaculture garden and from nearby farmers who work with the same respect for the land. Fermented foods, anti-inflammatory ingredients, wild greens, fresh eggs, and slow-grown vegetables form the foundation of our gut-friendly cuisine. Local olive oil, honey, and wines from Trás-os-Montes arrive at the table like small gifts from friends. Food here is not decoration — it is quiet medicine.

More than a retreat, Tinhela610 is a return. A return to the body, to nature, to the simple dignity of being alive. Whether you name it a wellness sanctuary, a spiritual refuge, or a pause between chapters, this place offers something rare: the space to rest without explanation, and to listen to what matters most.

Can be booked throughout the year when there is not another booked retreat or event. This package stay is for 3 nights.
