Did you know that the Sun has held a magical power for centuries?
The power to reveal the invisible world in blue on paper.

🩵With the arrival of Spring, we invite you to discover cyanotype - one of the oldest photographic processes in the world, where sunlight is the only brush you need.

🌞In this workshop, you’ll master his ancient technique surrounded by nature, serenity and a delicious brunch at Villa Epicurea, where you can contemplate the beauty in simple things.

🌿Flowers, leaves, photo negatives and shadows - whatever you place on the paper will be imprinted in a deep blue. Each print is unique and original.

Meet our lovely host:
“I’m Maria do Carmo (Carminha), I’m Brazilian and I’ve lived in Portugal for 28 years... I love being here... Since I was young, I’ve always worked with the public and I’ve always enjoyed organizing parties, lunches, anything to be in good company... At Vila Epicuera, I’m very involved in organizing the well-being of guests, taking care of cleaning together with our team and also with check-in and check-out. At breakfast, I always take the opportunity to give guests information about tours and restaurant recommendations here in the area (when requested), I participate in brunches with retreat groups that we always welcome... in short, I enjoy dealing with people. I love nature and I’m grateful for the opportunity I have to work in such a beautiful place that can transmit so much peace...”

Meet our team:
TANIA

My name is Tania and I grew up around pots and pans, as my grandmother, with whom I spent the first years of my life, already prepared lavish tables and good snacks at family gatherings.
Thus, nutrition presents itself as the first choice.
But, having my first work experience in confessing vegetarian food, I realize that it is actually what I wanted, the art of feeding people well. I therefore decided to attend the Macrobiotic and Vegetarian Cuisine course at the Macrobiotic Institute of Portugal, which I completed successfully.
My passion is creating on the stove, providing pleasure on the palate.
I am Chef at Villa Epicurea, and I am here to better serve you.
