Last year we were delighted to host Jane Anderson Wood and her group of artists.

Jane and her guests came for a week in September to stay at Quinta da Relva and a neighbouring house. Together we worked out an itinerary which include airport transfers, day trips to the coast, mountain guides and home cooked meals delivered to the house.

Artist, Idris Murphy

“The landscape here is immensely diverse and infinitely fascinating. From the cork trees, fig trees and delicate flowers in the garden, to smoke spiralling up from the foothills in a winters day, distant views and a magnificent coastline The source of inspiration is unending.”

Poet, Claire Crowther

“I went to Quinta da Relva as an urban poet and came back a pastoralist. So much material in the mountains and woods and this landscape is powerful and my notebook was never far from my hand.”
