Pets not allowed
My rustic Nature house was the adega, the former wine cellar. Thirty years ago, my mother used to crush grapes here with her feet in the basin. Then it was first renovated and converted into a hall for parties and other group events, and then the adjoining garage was incorporated into a bedroom and bathroom/WC. In the bedroom, the clay wall was plastered with donkey dung (!) and the floor was covered with cork tiles. An open kitchen in the living room was also added. The living room with its high ceiling is pleasantly spacious, cool and shady on the hotter days of the year and comfortably warm when it gets cold and damp outside (thanks to a good wood-burning stove). Access is via the terrace. There is a table with four chairs on the terrace. Wisteria and vines provide shade. From here, the fantastic south-facing view of the expansive valley with its year-round shades of green is an endless delight.
Nature and surroundings
The house is the first building of an elongated 100-year-old country house. It is followed by three more apartments. These apartments are occupied on a long-term basis. The terrace and lawn extend along the entire length of the country house, meaning that all the residents meet. However, everyone's need for peace and quiet and their desire for privacy is respected. Solar panels provide the hot water. Opposite, to the north, is the large barn, the heart of our donkey sanctuary. Our favourite long-eared animals also make music from time to time, just as donkey friends regularly visit us, except on Sundays! 10 hectares of our land are a state-approved private nature park, the 3rd in Portugal! The nearest beaches are 8 to 12 km away and the small town of Aljezur is only 4 km away.
