OUR STORY
Love at first sight…

OUR MISSION
Why we started Kasa Koru
We were hearing so many good things about Portugal – that it was a great option for people who were used to living in fairly alternative countries, that it was authentic and secure, and whilst in Europe, it has a very Latin vibe, so we decided to check it out. We were blown away by its beauty, in both the landscape and the people.
We drove 4000 kms over a two month period and had almost given up our search when we spotted what is now Kasa Koru. We fell in love with how lush the area was, even during the hottest periods (especially important for gardener, Tracey!).
We were warmly welcomed to this community and we love it here and are compelled to share our sanctuary with the world.
The special thing about Kasa Koru is that you can do absolutely nothing while here, and still come away with having had the experience of a life time!
