The House

Originally the site of a traditional ‘taipa’ built quinta typical to the area, the house was transformed into its current form in 2000 with the addition of the sleeping quarters lined up on either side of the old house to form a ‘T’ shape. In 2021 the house was extensively renovated to bring it up to date and it has been transformed into a property that has maintained its traditional feel but has also been modernised so that it can also welcome its guests comfortably and generously.

Poolside

Set back a few metres walk from the house is the swimming pool area. The pool is generously proportioned ( 15m dimension 7m dimension) with roman steps that lead into a depth of 1,20 m at the shallow end which then slopes to 1,80m at the deep end. It benefits from the sun all day long, and the water is usually a very pleasant temperature in summer.  At the poolside there is a choice of pool loungers, parasols, and spaces to lie back and relax. There is a poolside shower. Pool towels are provided 1 p/guest p/week. If accessing from the garden side there is a fence with a small gate for access, although as a safety consideration children should always be watched.

Surrounds

The property is situated only 10 kilometres from the well-known fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar and 14 kilometres from the charming village of Sao Teotonio. Some of the best beaches of the Alentejo Littoral are to be found nearby. The Costa Vicentina features some of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal much loved by surfers, as well as many kms of scenic trails to explore, winding through the natural park. You can find out more about these trails here (https://rotavicentina.com/en/). Songbirds abound in the region and are a joy to listen to, making the location perfect for some switch off time, but a real spectacle awaits you when the sun starts to drop: the Alentejo’s golden sunsets are legendary as are the star-studded night skies!
