Why 'the Retorta experience'?

A retort is a glassware device used for distillation in a laboratory and a house in the Portuguese country. What’s the connection?

Well, 'experiência' in Portuguese means 'experiment' in English and for any experiment you need a retorta - and I found one!

Experience or experiment? Follow me and find out!

Work in progress



The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at
some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires.
This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time: being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things.


I first saw the Mill House in Retorta - Moinho da Retorta - 5 years ago and in that time its been the kind of relationship that has required patience and perseverance. Only time will tell if we are really suited for each over. At the moment its definitely 'work in progress'!
