As a former professional athlete, I spent years chasing perfection — attention to every detail, discipline at all times. But over time, I came to understand that perfection can sometimes lead us away from what truly matters. At Quinta Libelula, we’ve chosen a different path: the path of balance, sincerity and beauty. We’ve done our very best to be true to this extraordinary place: a home set within the protected natural beauty of the Serra da Arrábida. A place that deserves to be respected, listened to, and lived in with simplicity and care. Every corner has been created with intention, guided by values that matter to us deeply: well-being, presence, family, respect, and joy. Quinta Libelula is more than just a place to stay — it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and experience a more grounded, authentic way of being. Not perfect, perhaps — but deeply meaningful.

Designed for Family and Friends
Whether it’s a family reunion, a getaway with friends, or an intimate celebration, every corner  has been designed to create unforgettable experiences. Here, time slows down, allowing you to embrace the Portuguese way of life at its finest.
