Solar Alegria is a captivating blend of two historic houses, dating back to 1856 and 1843 respectively, known as Casa do Amor. Over the years, these remarkable structures have undergone several renovations, culminating in their present-day splendor. Secluded at the end of a road, this enchanting retreat ensures a remarkable degree of privacy, boasting abundant greenery and awe-inspiring vistas of the valley and the river. Encircled by sprawling fields, the landscape delights visitors with its ever-changing hues and captivating atmosphere. Conveniently located just 25 minutes away from the pristine beaches of Aveiro. There, you can indulge in the pleasures of a vast sandy beach, accompanied by a charming fisherman’s village and a delectable array of freshly caught seafood. For those who love surfing, you’ll be pleased to know that fantastic surf spots are also within easy reach, ensuring an exciting aquatic adventure awaits you.

Attending Fátima's sound healing retreat was a transformative experience! The combination of the serene environment, her powerful sound healing sessions, and the beautifully guided meditations created a space of deep connection and healing. Fátima's knowledge, warmth, and passion for sound healing radiate through every moment of the retreat. I left feeling renewed, balanced, and more in tune with myself than ever before. If you're considering a retreat that nourishes your soul and elevates your vibration, I wholeheartedly recommend this one!

I've just finished a sound bath healing retreat avec Fatima Teixeira at the Solar da Alegria , in Portugal ( near Porto). Highlights : A sound bath on the pool , quite a trip ! Wish I haven't done just to live it again and again . Thanks Fatima for such great vibes.

Lovely experience in Sever do Vouga - Solar Alegria. I never felt that Yoga was for me...those positions, the difficulty in abstracting myself from everything around me...anyway! However, Jenny, the teacher and owner of this space, is an incredible person, who makes us overflow with confidence, contagious joy and provides us with all the comfort necessary to dive into this practice. It was a great surprise. Able to take us on an intense journey, focused on us, we can count on Jenny's guidance. Being at Solar Alegria is like being at home. It is an extremely peaceful space, where we can abstract ourselves from the "outside world". I recommend this fantastic place, full of good sensations and wonderful vibes.

Thank you Jenny and Hugo for a spectacular week! They are the hosts of Solar Alegría and they are super cool. The house is wonderful and is on a large, green, beautiful property with a pool and garden where you can breathe fresh air as well as tranquility. They have given me a lot of ideas for outdoor activities during the week I have been there, since the surroundings are ideal for bike routes, walks or kayaking on the lake, in addition to being close to Porto, which is also a beautiful city.
