From the moment you arrive at Casa No Tempo, you feel like you’ve stepped into another world—one where nature and architecture blend seamlessly, creating an oasis of tranquility. Part of the Silent Living project, that puts together incredible holiday homes in the middle of nowhere and all the houses are renovated by architect Manuel Aires Mateus. Casa No Tempo is more than just a holiday home; it’s an experience that redefines the connection between humans and the natural world.

Nestled in the heart of Alentejo, this extraordinary retreat is surrounded by hectares of untouched landscape. The house itself was once a rural farmhouse, originally home to the farmers who cultivated this land. Today, it has been transformed into an elegant and modern sanctuary while preserving the essence of its past.

The setting is breathtaking—surrounded by cork and olive trees, and the property is home to two lakes. The lakes of the Alentejo region, likely artificial, serve an essential purpose: providing water for the animals in a region that often struggles with drought.

Each morning, Maria José and Cláudia prepare a delightful breakfast, bringing fresh bread, fruit, cheeses, and local delicacies to start the day on a perfect note. This small gesture adds an unexpected layer of warmth and hospitality, making you feel cherished despite being miles away from urban life.

One of the most striking aspects of Casa No Tempo is how it makes you feel both completely disconnected from civilization and yet effortlessly at home. Although the nearest town is about 30 minutes away, the house offers all the modern amenities you could need. There’s high-speed Wi-Fi, making it the perfect place for remote work, yet the atmosphere encourages you to slow down and embrace nature. Whether you’re here for a digital detox or an inspiring workspace, it’s a place that adapts to your needs.

Then, the best moments of the stay—the golden hues of the sunrise, the breathtaking Alentejo sunsets, the stillness of the landscape. Staying here feels like stepping into a fairy tale, where time slows down, and the beauty of simplicity takes center stage.

Casa No Tempo is a place where you can reconnect with nature, with yourself, and with those around you. Whether you are there for a holiday with your family or to work remotely.

It’s rare to find a place that offers such a perfect blend of isolation and comfort, of nature and thoughtful design.
