Watch Michael Portillo at Xintara Retreats on Channel 5 – Saturday 05/04/25
We are so excited to finally reveal that Michael Portillo visited Xintara Retreats as part of his tour of Portugal.
Jonathan our co-founder, who’s family own the Quinta, explained the history of the region and the importance of the Quinta to Michael.
The Quinta was originally owned by Gaspar de Cisneros, a noble Knight of the House of the Duke of Braganza. Gaspar then gifted the original Quinta, chapel and surrounding land to Monastery of the Trinity. The Quinta became used as a place where monks that had fallen ill could come and convalesce before returning to their monastery further up the Serra.
If you would like to join us at Xintara for some well deserved R&R, we are running a Yoga & Wellbeing Retreat from the 1st – 5th October. Find out more here.
