Productive life is demanding. It seems to be more and more a problem, proved by a counter movement, which attracts more and more attention: a call for slow life, steady on, time for awareness, what is it all about in life? The balance between price and quality seems to be lost; people are looking for the true values of life
The standard is production, the value is enjoy. Two things that seem hard to combine.

Already a few years ago we got the first request for a sabbatical. Someone wanted to stay for a couple of months anddo things slow; informed about special arrangements. We complied with the request and it was a pleasure for both parties. From time to time someone stops by to recuperate from the hasty existence in a production-focused society.

In the mean time, "Slow"  symbolizes: to go on a (non) paid leave, while retaining position and do other things than just work, work, work. Paint the paintings you always wanted to paint, write the stories you always wanted to write, sing the songs you always wanted to sing.


As we already stated: there is a demand for comtemplation, looking for a way of life that is the right pace in the right place at the right time. It is: concentrating on the things that make life worth living. That means sometimes fast, sometimes slow, all the time looking for the most favourable tempi. Squashing and surfing on the internet you do preferably fast; you enjoy a nice diner or a romantic love-affair preferably slow.
Like this, life will be more like a beautiful, harmonious piece of music.
 You can stay with us, to enjoy a longterm stay in whatever way you want.

We are always open for what to do or how it might be done. You are very welcome for more information at info@termas-da-azenha.com.
