Cannabis may not be consumed during community workshops, group practices, or in ways that negatively affect other residents' comfort and wellbeing.

In most cases, pets are not permitted, as we share the property with wildlife, community animals, gardens, and communal spaces.

Yes. Residents have access to a fully equipped shared kitchen.

We ask everyone to clean up immediately after cooking and to leave the kitchen as they would wish to find it.

The outdoor jacuzzi in the treehouse is available to residents.

Please book it 24 hours in advance if you wish privacy.

The villa is located on a freshwater canal connected to the Marina da Gama waterway system.

Many residents enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and occasional swimming.

Water quality varies seasonally, and guests enter the water at their own discretion.

Greenhouse is more than accommodation. It is a conscious co-living community and creative retreat space for people who value nature, movement, meaningful connection, personal growth, ecological responsibility, and community living.

Life here often includes shared meals, conscious dance, creative projects, outdoor adventures, and conversations that matter.

Probably not.

Greenhouse is best suited to people who enjoy community living, appreciate diversity, respect shared spaces, and are interested in personal growth, creativity, movement, nature, and ecological living.

Those seeking a conventional hotel experience, complete privacy, or travel consumerism may find another type of accommodation more suitable.

Greenhouse is guided by ecological values and respect for all forms of life.

Residents are expected to:

• Sort and separate their own waste according to the house recycling system.
• Participate in keeping shared spaces clean and welcoming.
• Use water, electricity, and resources mindfully.
• Minimize single-use plastics whenever possible.
• Respect the gardens, wildlife, and natural environment.

We also maintain an animal welfare policy. Guests may only bring or store meat, eggs, and other animal products that come from free-range or ethically raised sources. Products originating from intensive factory farming systems are not permitted within the house.

Our goal is conscious living and a sincere effort to reduce harm to people, animals, and the Earth.

Yes. Greenhouse thrives through participation and shared experiences.

Residents are encouraged to contribute their talents through workshops, music, movement sessions, shared meals, discussions, creative projects, or community gatherings.

Conscious Dance, Ecstatic Dance, Contact Improvisation, and other forms of embodied movement are especially valued within the community. Participation is encouraged, and many residents find these practices to be one of the most enriching aspects of life at Greenhouse.
