At Paradise Valley Ranch, a peaceful  sanctuary in the Alentejo.The land, the animals, and the slow rhythm of nature create a space where deep shifts can happen — gently and naturally.

 

You’ll spend time with our rescued horses, goats, cows, dogs, and cats. Each of them brings their own energy — calm, curious, nurturing, or wise — and offers a unique opportunity for connection and reflection. No riding or training — just mutual presence and trust.
