Os objetivos da vertente criativa d’O Val são estimular a criatividade em cada um, através da partilha de conhecimento e divulgação de um estilo de vida e a cultura alentejana.
O espaço dedicado à criatividade, workshops e retiros, tem uma zona específica no monte: duas salas abertas entre si, e um grande alpendre adjacente, estão preparados para acolher workshops e retiros criativos com artistas e artesãos locais, assim como artistas de expressão nacional e internacional. Em breve, O Val vai inclusive abrir um alojamento para residências artísticas.
Workshops
Os nossos workshops são lecionados por artistas e artesãos internacionais e nacionais, com enfoque no artesanato de inspiração alentejana. Entre as artes e ofícios lecionados, destacam-se os têxteis — tapeçaria, crochet, tricot, estamparia, bordado — cerâmica, pintura, colagens, culinária, entre outros.
Não é necessária qualquer experiência artística para participar.

Retiros Criativos
Os retiros criativos e artísticos são desenvolvidos para uma imersão completa nas artes e ofícios lecionadas pelos artistas e artesãos internacionais e nacionais, assim como, na própria cultura local alentejana, desde a gastronomia à serenidade do estilo de vida.
Os programas disponíveis são de 3 a 6 dias e são concebidos para grupos restritos de principiantes e artistas com experiência, incluindo uma estadia no Val Farmhouse, ou ainda, num boutique hotel nas proximidades.
Não é necessária qualquer experiência artística para participar.
Vão estar a venda no espaço dos workshops algumas peças têxteis de Marta Menéres entre outras realizadas por artistas e artesãos da região.
O que dizem dos nossos retiros
"Estadia maravilhosa para retiro criativo com tapetes de Arraiolos. Ficámos 3 noites e não podíamos ter sido recebidos de maneira melhor pela Marta, dona da casa.
Ótimos quartos, pequenos-almoços e refeições deliciosas."
— Teresa, Portugal"Having spent time at O Val as part of a creative retreat I can easily say it was the one of the most wonderful and memorable experiences I have ever had.
Marta was the perfect host, sharing many stories of her family’s history with the beautiful farmhouse and showing us the surrounding regions with old historical towns and the local traditions and crafts. Every day was filled with something new and proved that there is so much more to see outside of the more well-known areas of Portugal.
The retreat itself was very well organised and had the perfect balance between creative time and exploring the region. The tranquillity of the farmhouse made it easy to switch off from the outside world, and I returned home completely recharged and full of inspiration and motivation.
I would certainly return to O Val in the future and would highly recommend to anyone to go if you find the perfect retreat calling to you."
— Fiadh, Ireland"I stayed at Marta’s beautiful farmhouse in Alentejo for a creative retreat, and it was truly unforgettable. Marta has designed a stunning space that perfectly blends traditional charm with modern touches — every corner feels intentional and cozy. The property itself is incredibly peaceful, surrounded by nature in a way that makes you instantly slow down and breathe easier.
Because I was there for a retreat, Marta was deeply involved in our day-to-day experience — organizing meals, transportation, and so many thoughtful details — and she handled everything with such warmth and grace. She’s an exceptional host and genuinely cares about creating a memorable stay.
If you’re looking to explore this underrated region of Portugal, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a beautiful reflection of Alentejo itself: authentic, serene, and quietly inspiring."

This immersive, creative experience features six hands-on workshop sessions. During your week with Victoria, you’ll learn to draw from the Alentejo cultural and historical aesthetic and combine its rich visual bounty with your own taste and style to create unique floral artworks.
Victoria will share her painting and drawing techniques, focusing on curiosity and exploration, and can’t wait to show you the architecture, textiles, ceramics, and natural beauty of the region. She’ll demonstrate a charming and exciting way to record visual treasures, so you can use them in the future, as a reference library to inspire your artwork or to bring back wonderful memories.
Throughout the week, Victoria will be hands-on, delighted to help with a huge range of queries, whether they’re about painting techniques, how to photograph and edit your inspiration or artwork, the logistics of running an art business, or anything else you can think of!

Patterns and Collage Exploration journey in Alentejo
By Naomi Vona
From June 16–21, 2026, embark on an unforgettable journey of creativity and inspiration led by acclaimed Italian artist Naomi Vona.
Immerse yourself in a unique cultural experience that bridges tradition with contemporary illustration and collage. Drawing inspiration from Alentejo’s rolling landscapes and the intricate “empedrado” pottery of Nisa, this retreat celebrates the harmony between local craftsmanship and modern pattern design, illustration and collage.
Over four enriching days, you will enjoy five hands-on workshops with Naomi, alongside a curated itinerary designed to unveil the region’s hidden gems:
Nisa: Discover the Museum of Embroidery and Clay, where you’ll learn about the “empedrado” technique—a meticulous process of inlaying white quartz into clay to form motifs inspired by local nature.
Castelo de Vide: Wander through flower-lined alleys in this romantic medieval village, home to one of Europe’s best-preserved Jewish quarters.
Estremoz: Experience the authentic charm of the traditional Saturday flea and antique market.
Based at the soulful O Val Farmhouse in Monforte, every detail of this retreat has been crafted to ensure an unforgettable creative escape.
About Naomi Vona
Naomi Vona is an Italian artist. The artist defines herself as an "archival parasite, with no bad intentions". Her works combine different interests like photography, collages and illustration.
Her research is focused on altering vintage and contemporary found images, creating a new interpretation of the original shots.
Using pens, washi tape and stickers she gives every image a new life.
Her passion for illustration and photography drove her to experiment with collage since she was a student, developing a personal recognisable style.
Since 2017 Naomi runs workshops around Europe, involving local communities to her art practice and creative research.
Her works revolve around the main topics of feminism, anti-capitalism and dark humour.
What to expect from the retreat:
This immersive, creative experience features 5 hands-on workshop sessions with Naomi Vona. Each session lasts 3 hours, allowing processes to unfold with calm, attention, and enjoyment. The workshops are interconnected: what emerges on day transforms in the next.
Workshop 1 - Pattern design - Introduction and landscape exploration
This session will introduce the participants to my pattern vision and how to start to work on your own research, based on my tips and tricks for a creative project. We will also explore the natural area around us to photograph organic elements that could be translated into inspirational patterns.
Workshop 2 - Landscape pattern database
During this workshop we will bring together the images we captured in the morning, to transform them in pattern cards inspired by the nature. These will be useful material to keep for future reference for our final project.
Workshop 3 - Nisa’s Pottery pattern database
This class will allow us to analyse all the inspirational images taken during our trip to visit Nisa’s pottery, to create other pattern cards to add to our database.
Workshop 4 - Colours and pattern - find the perfect match
During this session we will combine colours with our patterns, to find the perfect match and to bring together all the research done in the previous classes. Colour and pattern swatches can become a beautiful colourful cards stack that will help us to envision our final piece.
Workshop 5 - Photo and patterns - bringing all together!
Now it’s time to take our pictures and use our favourite patterns and colour combos to make a standout piece. During this session we can also introduce the use of text as a decorative element, to enrich our final composition.
Materials
All materials are included but you are welcome to bring your own pictures (printed on paper) to make your art piece in this final session.
