Yes, it is a fire truck

Dickie spent a working life on emergencies and now sits quietly on the land as a tiny home for two, with a kitchenette of its own and a dry toilet built in.

Living outside

Like most of Pachawa, the good part is what happens outdoors: your own patch of land, the outdoor bathroom, and the walk down to the yoga platform in the morning.

What it costs

€55 alone or €32.50 each as two. Per person, per night.

House rules, stated plainly

Up to 20 guests on the land at once, which keeps the place a home rather than a venue.
Quiet after 11pm out of respect for the valley and the animals.
Vegetarian kitchen, mostly from our own gardens. Tell us about allergies early and we plan around them.
No single-use plastics, and please compost with us — the gardens run on it.
Dry toilets and solar hot water in parts of the land; water is precious here.

Before you ask

Questions guests ask first

Do we ever share the property with another booking?

No. One booking at a time. The twenty hectares of permaculture land, the trails, the fire pits and the yoga platform are yours for the length of your stay.

What does it cost to hold dates?

Nothing. We hold your dates free for 24 hours while you check with everyone else, and no card is needed to ask.

Can we add breathwork, sound healing or a chef dinner?

Yes, and it is the reason most guests book direct. You add sessions while booking and they appear on one itemised total, no vendor chasing.

Is it really adults only?

Yes, by intention. Maximum 18 overnight adults across the whole property, which is what keeps it quiet enough for the wildlife to behave normally.

How far is it from the coast and from Lisbon or Faro?

Fifteen minutes to Odemira village, thirty to the Atlantic beaches, and two hours from both Lisbon and Faro airports.
