2.rent a car from Faro airport www.luzcar.com, the last 4km to the retreat is a dirt road, so either a four wheel drive or high car is recommended, all though if you are not planning to move too much then a normal car is also no problem!

4.Lisbon airport, train/ bus to Lagos and then taxi meeting point Aljezur from where you will be picked up.
From June until September, because of busy season, the airport transfer will not be able to drop you of at the retreat but instead we will pick you up at a designated meeting point close to the retreat. If you arrive after 19.00 to the meeting point on your arrival day or need to leave before 8am on your departure day, an extra driver will have to be booked with a 30€ surcharge.
