Hello! Welcome to Pais de Cima website!
Center for holistic retreats!
This center is located on a large estate (Monte Pais de Cima) in the beautiful Baixo Alentejo region in southwestern Portugal, approximately 30km from the Atlantic coast. (see location map)
The facilities are prepared to receive organized groups and their teachers or organizations from within the spiritual/holistic community, for booked events.The gently rolling fields and the surrounding cork forest with its pristine wildlife and nature provide a perfectly peaceful and beautiful environment for spiritual or holistic activities such as meditation, silent retreats, yoga retreats and trainings, and other related activities.
In these surroundings one can experience the nature as a whole. Or, to feel a breeze in the fields, listening the birds, the attentive look to the blossoming of a flower on the wayside, the serenity and tranquility of the lake waters. To observe the clear sky on new moon nights are unforgettable moments.
Pais de Cima first opened in November 1999 under the Jampaias name and has since been growing and transforming as life demanded it. Since then, the center closed twice, for a short duration, due to unexpected events and improvements to the facilities. But it always reopened under the guidance of the committed owner that believes in sharing the beauty of this place.
The center consists of several fully remodeled old farm buildings constructed in the traditional design of the “Baixo Alentejo” region. It includes a main house for accommodations (“Casa-Mãe”), kitchen, bakery/stone oven, dining hall, several independent apartments, a converted hay barn for meditation/activity hall, swimming pool with lounge area and several gardens.
The “Monte Pais de Cima” farm is energy independent, using alternative energy such as solar and wind power for its electrical power requirements. It is also a certified organic farm producing such crops as organic cork, wheat, cereals, olives, fruits and vegetables.
