Sunset at Casa Shen

Your stay at Casa Shen

Set in the peaceful Monchique Mountains, Casa Shen offers simple, comfortable accommodation surrounded by forest, streams, and mountain views. It’s a place to rest, recharge, and reconnect with yourself and nature.

Staying with us

At Casa Shen we invite you to experience a peaceful and down-to-earth stay surrounded by the beauty of southern Portugal. Here, life moves at a gentler pace. 

Our home combines the simplicity of off-grid living with comfort and warmth. You can stay in one of our cozy tents or bring your own and camp close to nature. All stays include three freshly prepared healthy vegan meals a day. 

Casa Shen is easy to reach yet feels wonderfully remote. We are about 20 minutes from the town Monchique, less than 90 minutes from Faro airport, and the nearest beach is just 35 minutes away.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do — from solar power and natural water sources to a mindful way of living close to the rhythm of nature. Whether you join us as a guest or as a volunteer helping with our self-sufficiency projects, we hope your time here will inspire you, help you unwind, and offer a glimpse into a simpler, more connected way of life.

Accommodation

We offer the following accommodations

  • A spacious bell tent, sleeping two guests comfortably on slatted beds with warm bedding
  • A small room with a double bed
  • A big room with a log burner
  • Plenty of space for your own tent on our lower terraces


We are still lovingly building Casa Shen by hand, creating an off-grid retreat for healing, Qigong, and reconnection. Every stay supports this growing vision.

Our facilities include

  • Two compost toilets 
  • One heated solar shower
  • Clean beds and towels 
  • Hammocks by the stream
  • Washing mashine (€5 per load)
  • Energized mountain spring water


All stays include three fresh vegan meals daily, prepared with local and self-grown ingredients.
