Location

The "Eden" is strategically situated in the heart of Alentejo, more precisely in Montinho do Vale Brique, a small and tranquil hamlet in the parish of São Martinho das Amoreiras, in the municipality of Odemira, district of Beja. Nestled within a typical Alentejo landscape, it is characterized by its proximity to vast horizons of cork oaks and holm oaks, distinctive elements of the "montado." Its position imparts a sense of retreat, where rural quietude and the expanse of the Alentejo sky merge, providing an environment of deep calm and introspection.

This location benefits from a preserved natural setting, allowing visitors to fully connect with the serenity of the region. The gentle topography, punctuated by small elevations, offers a harmonious visual framework, contributing to the isolated and peaceful atmosphere that "Eden" promises.

A Botanical Refuge

The "Eden" reveals itself as a space where nature takes center stage, designed to offer an experience of tranquility and beauty. Its structure and arrangement seek to mirror the diversity and richness of the plant world, inviting careful discovery of every corner. Here, the human hand collaborates with natural cycles, creating an environment of visual and sensory harmony.

Exploring the "Eden" is an invitation to feel the aromas of the plants, observe the varied textures of the foliage, and appreciate the palette of colors that unfolds throughout the seasons. Each area seems to invite contemplation, with spaces designed for quietude and rest. It is a place that reveals itself progressively, unveiling details with each step, in constant dialogue with the surrounding Alentejo nature.

Natural Elements and Composition

The composition of the "Eden" is based on a careful selection of natural elements, which together create a balanced and captivating ecosystem. You will find a diversity of plant species, some native to the region and others introduced, which contribute to the biological and aesthetic richness of the space. The use of hedges, flowerbeds, and winding paths organizes the space, creating a succession of distinct environments.

The presence of water, even if discreet, can play a fundamental role, with small streams or pools reflecting the sky and surrounding vegetation, adding a sonic and visual dimension to the experience. Natural light, filtering through the tree canopies or spilling over clearings, is a dynamic element that transforms the perception of the place throughout the day, lending it different moods and atmospheres.
