I can’t recommend Seeds of Silence highly enough. After one of the most difficult years of my life, this beautiful place gave me exactly what I didn’t even realise I needed—peace, kindness and the chance to reconnect with the old me. From the moment I arrived, Cindy made me feel so welcome. She is an incredible host who genuinely cares about every guest. She even invited me to join a trip to the islands and took us to a wonderful traditional Portuguese restaurant, allowing us to experience the real Algarve beyond the usual tourist spots. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made my stay even more special. The food deserves a review of its own. Every meal prepared by the talented chef, Megan, and so beautifully supported by Denise, was simply exceptional. The colours, flavours and freshness of every dish were out of this world—a feast for both the eyes and the belly. You could truly feel the love, passion and care that went into every plate. A very special mention also goes to Kati, whose massage therapy was nothing short of amazing. I had been carrying months of tension and pain in my neck and shoulders, and after my treatment I felt such incredible relief. Her skill, intuition and calming presence were a huge part of my healing experience, and I’m so grateful to her. One of the unexpected highlights was the wonderful people I met. Seeds of Silence attracts such warm, genuine souls, and I left with beautiful memories that I will always treasure. If you’re looking for somewhere to slow down, breathe, heal, reconnect with yourself or simply escape the busyness of everyday life, Seeds of Silence is truly a little piece of paradise. I arrived feeling exhausted and emotionally drained and left feeling lighter, happier and more like myself again. Thank you, Cindy, Megan, Denise, Kati and all the team for creating such a magical experience. You have created so much more than a retreat—you have created a place where people can rediscover themselves. I’ll carry a little piece of Seeds of Silence with me wherever I go, and I can’t wait to return ❤️

The Seeds of Silence was amazing and it exceeded my expectations! I went for a reset to find my relaxed me again and with the help of the whole team but specially Cindy the owner of the retreat this was realised within a couple of days. The yoga and breath sessions by Cindy were really outstanding. The whole setting and the garden at the retreat was even better as the pictures. The surrounding and the availibility of e-bikes was also superb and Cindy really wants to make you feel at home and I enjoy every moment of the day. The food and the styling of the food was also amazing. I am positiv I will return and will bring some friends with me. On top of all this I just want to mention that enjoying the food together and even with the owner Cindy was so refreshing. So this retreat was top 10!!!!

You will have a wonderful holiday at this perfect boutique hotel. Rooms are bright and beautiful, grounds and gardens are calm and peaceful with lots of little special places tucked away in the shade to enjoy a good book or just be. The poolside is idealic with plenty of sun brollies should you want to shade from the sunshine. The food is just delicious and plentiful, all organic and beautifully prepared and presented. Should you choose to join in a yoga retreat as I did (all inclusive) you will not be disappointed. Cindy is a wonderful teacher and much much more! Just go, you'll love it!

Lieve Cindy, Derde keer Seeds of Silence en het blijft zo’n fijne ervaring. Kundalini‑yoga, ademwerk, klankschalen, het lekkere eten van Megan en Denis… en vooral: de rust die je meeneemt naar huis. Echt een cadeautje voor jezelf.” Met veel dankbaarheid Rita D

“Retreat yourself” bij Seeds of Silence! Dit is echt een aanrader! Hier kom je volledig tot rust en laad je helemaal op. Ontspanning ten top met yoga, breathwork, lekker in het zonnetje bij het zwembad of in de sauna. De massages zijn super fijn en het eten is het lekkerste en gezondste dat je ooit hebt geproefd! Cindy is een geweldige yoga teacher en gastvrouw en zorgt tot in de kleinste details dat je volledig kunt ontspannen. Tot volgend jaar! nu al zin in! 💛

I just wanted to thank everybody at seeds of silence for a wonderful restorative week. I went to enjoy the calm and not to do the yoga but I was made so well by everybody. This really is a beautiful place, the food is quite exceptional and everywhere you look it’s a photograph waiting to be taken. I will be back.

Wat een bijzondere ervaring! De prachtige accommodatie omringd door rust en natuur, is de perfecte plek om helemaal op te laden. Het eten was een waar feestje: pure food art. Elke maaltijd was met liefde bereid: gezond, verrassend en heerlijk gevarieerd. Alleen daarvoor wil je al terugkomen. De yoga- en breathworklessen brachten ontspanning, verdieping en nieuwe inzichten. Dankzij de fijne afwisseling voelde elke dag bijzonder. Cindy is warm, deskundig en oprecht betrokken. Haar begeleiding voelde veilig, persoonlijk en professioneel, waardoor je je echt kunt openstellen en helemaal tot jezelf komt. Ik ben enorm dankbaar voor deze ervaring. Absoluut een aanrader!

Ein Ort, an den man immer wieder zurückkehren möchte. ☺Unglaublich gepflegter, schön gestalteter Ort, an dem man zur Ruhe kommen kann und sehr liebevoll umsorgt wird. Der vegetarisch-vegane Brunch und das Dinner sind extraordinär. Cindy führt ihre Yoga und Atemsessions mit ganzem Herzen und viel Erfahrung durch und geht dabei auf persönliche Bedürfnisse ein. Als Gastgeberin legt sie großen Wert auf eine familiäre Atmosphäre und man fühlt sich sofort willkommen und angenommen so wie man ist.

Excepcional. ☺Tudo estava perfeito, desde a chegada, até a saída. A Denise e a Cindy são excepcionalmente acolhedores, o jardim e a piscina duma beleza rara criam um a cinta de bem estar em volta do alojamento. O pequeno almoço, digno dum chefe com duas estrelas, é mesmo oferecido com amor e carinho. Já passamos em muitos hotéis, alojamentos, nenhum até a data, atingiu este nível d'emoções, bem estar e harmonia.

Un véritable havre de paix, parfait pour se ressourcer ! ☺Nous avons eu un véritable coup de cœur pour cet endroit. Nous avons tout aimé : le calme et la sérénité qui règnent dans ce lieu magnifique, l’accueil d’une extrême gentillesse et cette atmosphère apaisante qui invite immédiatement à la détente et au lâcher-prise. Le petit-déjeuner était exceptionnel, tout comme le dîner, préparés avec beaucoup de soin. C’est un véritable havre de paix où l’on se ressource pleinement et où l’on aimerait rester plus longtemps. Si nous avions pu attribuer une note de 12/10, nous l’aurions fait sans hésiter, tant tout était parfait !

☺Unser Aufenthalt bei Seeds of Silence war einfach unvergesslich. Cindy und ihr wunderbares Team haben uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen und mit ihrer herzlichen, aufmerksamen Art dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns vom ersten Moment an rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Das Essen war ein absolutes Highlight – köstlich, mit viel Liebe zubereitet und wunderschön angerichtet. Man spürt in jedem Detail die Leidenschaft und Hingabe, mit der hier gearbeitet wird. Die gesamte Anlage ist mit unglaublich viel Geschmack und Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Überall findet man wunderschöne Dekorationen und eine Atmosphäre, die zum Entspannen und Genießen einlädt. Cindy hat hier wirklich ein kleines Paradies geschaffen. Wer Ruhe, Herzlichkeit, exzellentes Essen und einen besonderen Ort zum Wohlfühlen sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir können Seeds of Silence von ganzem Herzen empfehlen und kommen sehr gerne wieder!
