This Is Our Story
We are Harold and Petra, passionate bon vivants who are fully engaged in life and love the beautiful and pure things that enrich life.
Petra - 49 years old

In 2007 Petra started giving Body Balance lessons. This is how she discovered that teaching is her passion. Petra has completed a Power, Hatha yoga and Pilates training. In addition, she has followed several Yin Yoga and Vinyasa yoga workshops. Her classes consist of different forms of yoga. It is her goal to let as many people as possible enjoy yoga, time for yourself; from your head into your body. Time and space to reconnect with yourself in connection with your body, mind and spirit.
Harold - 48 years old
Passionate entrepreneur, bon vivant and father of one daughter.
Harold started his career in the hospitality industry and has his hospitality manager papers. His creativity has taken him on other paths in his life. As the owner of lof design, he is responsible for developing and producing high-end outdoor lifestyle furniture. This is how his creativity has manifested itself. His dream is to incorporate everything he has learned and developed into one life project (Fazenda Pela Bella Vida). The beautiful life for him is being able to feel free and enjoy the little things; delicious food and drinks, nature and peace and sharing this happiness with others.
In 2020 we started our search for a beautiful piece of land in central Portugal. During this search, it was love at first sight on the 4.5 hectare plot that we can now call our own.
The plot is located near Castelo Branco, just outside the village of Salgueiro Do Campo.
In the summer of 2021 we were finally able to start our dream project Fazenda Pela Bella Vida, which stands for 'Farm of the beautiful life'. A place to find rest and reset your body and mind through peace, space, yoga and mindfulness, exercise and healthy nutritious food and drinks.
At Fazenda Pela Bella Vida you can find a healthy and conscious lifestyle. We offer you a stay in the beautiful nature of Portugal, the accommodation provides all basic needs to relax. The luxury lies in the inner and outer care of you as a guest. You will not come short of anything during your stay.
