About
Quinta Marugo Retreats is an adults-only wellbeing retreat centre and boutique hotel in Serpa, in Portugal's Alentejo countryside — a place to retreat, reconnect, and regenerate on a working permaculture farm.
Hosts Ugo Uberti Foppa and Mary Ann reinvented their lives from fast-paced Hong Kong entrepreneurship to an eco-sustainable retreat in rural Alentejo (relocating in 2019). Guests join organised retreats or book a room to stay, with organic farm-to-table meals, regenerative farming practices, and a focus on self-sustainability in energy and water.
For Canadian, U.S., and international wellness planners researching Portugal Alentejo retreats — not a Canada-only therapist directory — Quinta Marugo surfaces on MindReach Global Getaways with book-direct booking to quintamarugo.com. Contact info@quintamarugo.com.
The journey began in 2014 with a lifestyle reinvention: from entrepreneurs in fast-paced Hong Kong to creators of an eco-sustainable retreat in the heart of rural Portugal. Mary Ann brought corporate mindfulness and executive coaching roots (including MBSR and related certifications) and a long-held dream of running a holistic retreat centre. Ugo's dream was to become a farmer, grow food, and care for soil and land — shaped by a childhood near Bergamo and later work in fashion, entertainment, and fine Italian food and wine in Hong Kong.
