  • Peaceful off-grid pitches among the olive trees at an Alentejo farm
  • A 10-minute walk to Torrão for shops and eating; Evora 40 mins' drive
  • Wildlife haven with lots of birds to spot and excellent stargazing
Craving some silence, scenery and stunning starry skies? Equilibrio Farm is the place to find all of those, in a gorgeous location just under a kilometre from the small town of Torrão. This off-grid Alentejo site is part of a peaceful farm owned by an Austrian family who are keen to welcome guests to share their gorgeous part of the world for a while. It's a simple nature-oriented site with absolutely no electricity at the pitches and very limited artificial lighting around the site, so please do bring a torch or headlamp with you. You’ll be sharing the place with a fair bit of wildlife, particularly birds like storks, herons, black kites and cormorants, all of which congregate around the lake. The main agricultural activity at the farm is olive oil production, and you’ll be pitching up among around 350 olive trees, including one that’s thought to be 800 years old. You may of course also like to buy some of the farm’s oil while you’re here… As a small site without the infrastructure and facilities of bigger, conventional campsites, Equilibrio Farm is suited to guests who are looking for a simpler stay. It has basic amenities including water, a couple of warm showers and composting toilets, and you’ll be able to put up your awning or gazebo for a bit of shelter from the weather. It all makes a very peaceful spot in which to listen to the sounds of nature and gaze up at the sparkling night sky. And while the atmosphere is definitely one of rural peace, it’s handy that the town is only about 10 minutes’ walk away for shops and places to eat.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that our farm was not the right camping experience for you.

Equilibrio is an off-grid nature campsite, rather than a conventional serviced campsite. We try to make this very clear in our Pitchup description, where we explain that the facilities are simple and that guests have access to water, warm showers and composting toilets.

We were a little surprised by the review, as when we spoke to you during your stay you told us that everything was fine. Had you mentioned the problems with the toilet or lighting to us at the time, we would have been happy to check them immediately and try to help.

We understand that our simple, off-grid setup is not for everyone. Guests looking for more infrastructure, lighting and the facilities of a traditional campsite will probably be happier at a conventional camping site, while Equilibrio is aimed at people who enjoy simple camping, nature, quiet surroundings and dark nights under the stars.

We do, however, take your comment about the cleanliness of the toilet seriously and will make sure this is checked.

We wish you all the best for the rest of your travels.

Local attractions

You may like to get out and explore the area on foot – there are some good hiking trails nearby, including a couple that take you to viewpoints overlooking Albufeira de Vale de Gaio (the lake you can spot from the farm). Have a little stroll around Torrão as well, to see its churches and historic fountains before a dip in the open-air pool. If you’d like to see more of the area’s architecture, perhaps head to Viana do Alentejo (25 minutes’ drive) to see its castle and travel a little way out of town to visit Santuário de Nossa Senhora d’Aires. The gorgeous Capela das Conchas (10 minutes) is worth seeing too, for its intricate design of shells and stones. For other days out nearby, spend some time in Evora (40 minutes), visiting its cathedral, Roman temple and Chapel of Bones, or seek out local wineries to sample some of the tipples the Alentejo area has become known for.
