Quinta da Luz was created from the granite stones of a forester’s watch tower to provide a home and location for visitors to enjoy peace and calm and find themselves. Whether being fascinated by the never ending changes of light on Portugal´s highest mountain, Serra da Estrela, as it becomes blue, green, purple or simply hides in cloud.

Then, perhaps just sitting listening to the tinkle of water at one of the seven chakra ponds.

Our mission is to ensure all who visit depart feeling inner peace. And, yes a place for calm, rehabilitation and retreat. Ideal for those seeking a workation or a place of calm to enjoy being a digital nomad.

The Quinta facilities are also available for hire by those seeking to use its presence to add to their own special occasion. For further details contact Caroline via the online contact form.

Quinta da Luz Offers

✩✩✩ As well as enjoying our ever changing mountain view, guests can stroll in the garden, walk in the surrounding woods and open spaces and enjoy the starry skies and spectacular sunsets. Maybe writing your book as Gregory has, taking some stunning photographs, cycle or walk in the countryside or across the highest mountain in Portugal? Then there is the moon to watch rising over the Serra da Estrela. Perhaps using one of our set of Divination cards, or asking for guidance?

✩✩✩ Rehabilitate and revitalise yourself through the Quinta´s healing energy. We have luxury accommodation where you can enjoy all of these and more, adding another dimension to your workation or enjoying your life as a digital nomad.

✩✩✩ Take breakfast on the terrace before setting off to explore the local sights. Rejuvenate yourself through a retreat to recharge your batteries, to escape from city life and for those who are seeking direction to accelerate their life. Aided by the presence of Nature all around you, from bird song, the trees to our views.

✩✩✩ We are totally off-grid – our  energy is generated by solar panels, and the water is from our wells. The water used is cleaned in a reed bed and put back onto the land. As it is a living system, we provide bio degradable soaps and shampoos to ensure no chemicals flow into it.

✩✩✩ The house faces South toward the peak of Serra da Estrela. It is 500 mts to Lajes and accessed by a rural road. It has vineyards to the East and West, woodland and orchards to the North and grassland and trees to the South. More details with links and directions can be found here.

The Seven Secrets to Living in Harmony

Gregory´s first book achieved #1 best-seller status when published in 2014. It details how Gregory learnt his body was sending him signals only he was not listening, with the result he was experiencing pain and dis-comfort. Once he began to listen life became easier and more joyful.

The lessons, science and changes he had effected led him in the year after arriving in Portugal to write The Seven Secrets. The purpose being to outline his experiences so others could also benefit. It contains case studies of how using shamanic practices and other tools has changed the lives of clients and their businesses.

Gregory´s blog post “How To Live A Life Of Harmony” provides an introduction.

Guidance is available on how to make this transformation – if you so choose! Then you will be able to accelerate how you desire your life, both personal and business, to be!

In addition to Amazon, the Seven Secrets in pdf format is available from Gregory´s gregoryreecesmith.com site should you wish to be inspired.

Events in 2023

Creating Change In Your Life

Desire to Change, Yet No Time to?

Do you feel unable to make the next step in your life and so your conscious business or career? If so, then Gregory´s intensive Transform and Create Retreat here at the Quinta is many steps deeper than the VIP days he holds.

The focus of this retreat is to move you immediately beyond beliefs limiting your ability to create your vision for your life of harmony. Knowing your calling and so accelerating your life and your business by using your unique abilities, gifts and skills.

It is an intensive seven night retreat.

Including Four Consecutive Days Coaching

All coaching is a deep and personal process. Commit to being in retreat for seven days with us at the Quinta, then we guarantee you will look, feel and be different by the end of them. Four days of intensive coaching are included to bring about at least the transformation you desire. The other days are to enable you to integrate all that has been achieved before you step away from the Quinta.

Being coached whilst you enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Quinta also means it is possible for those empowering ad hoc conversations one visitor beautifully described as “kitchen coaching”. Another said how valuable he found the chats whilst making tea! Recognising you may wish your accountability partner, colleague or friend to also benefit, the retreat is for two.
