The venue is an intimate family home imagined and built with love by me, Rachel, owner at Zen Forest Portugal where I live with my family.

Set in nature, amidst tall pine trees, here you can find stillness, quiet and peace. It’s serene and captivating environment offers a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.

Daydreaming in our green house, getting inspired with the sound of chanting birds, cuddling with one of our dogs while reading a book in a hammock set between two trees or star gazing around a cozy fire at night… one thing is guaranteed, here, you will feel welcomed, warm and fuzzy. Just like home.
