THE PHILOSOPHY OF SOLAR ALEGRIA & ITS HOSTS
Solar Alegria was acquired by Jenny and Hugo, a French and Portuguese couple, a few years ago, driven by an irresistible “Coup de coeur” or love at first sight. They recognised it as a small paradise conveniently located near cities like Porto (1h), Aveiro (25mn), and Viseu (40mn), striking a perfect balance between relaxation and connection with nature.
At Solar Alegria, the fundamental belief is that every individual deserves peace and happiness. The location itself is a little piece of heaven, offering ample space and privacy, allowing guests to find their own unique way to enjoy their stay.
As passionate food enthusiasts, the hosts take pride in growing their own vegetables and sourcing most of the necessary ingredients from local providers. When you visit, they are more than happy to customise your experience, whether it’s creating the ultimate romantic moment or organising a thrilling adventure-filled day.
At Solar Alegria… Everything is possible!
Jennifer Deiana: Yoga & Meditation, Personal Development coach, Massage therapist & Chef
With an international corporate background, I experienced firsthand the stress and lack of self-confidence that comes with high-pressure environments. I saw myself and my colleagues constantly battling to keep up, feeling judged, not good enough, and always searching for ways to “fix” ourselves. But in reality, we already have everything within us; there’s nothing to fix. We just need the right guidance to unlock our immense potential and build balance and happiness.
This realization led me to make a life-changing decision: I bought and renovated Solar Alegria, a place where I could not only embrace a new path but also help others on their journey. Along the way, I became a certified Yoga and Meditation instructor, with expertise in Yin Yoga, a personal development coach, and a chef. Today, my mission is clear: to guide others toward discovering their inner strength, finding peace, and living fulfilling lives.
