01

Curious about the village

The Neos Experience

A light retreat for people who want to know Neos better. Stay at Neos Center, share meals, walk the land, and get to know us and each other. It is the best way to feel whether the village could be your place.

Where we are

In the heart of the Alentejo

Neos is in the Alentejo, near Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal: a quiet, rural region of cork oaks, olive groves, white villages and very dark, starry skies.

Montemor-o-Novo is our closest town, loved by artists and rich in cooperatives, farms and healing spaces. We share the exact location and directions once your stay is booked.
