Other things to note
Enjoy a sustainable environment
Ideal place for nature lovers. Perfect place to experience the silence and beauty of Portuguese countryside. The management of the vineyard and the cultivation of plants and vegetables takes place in an ecologically responsible manner. The lawn at the swimming pool is a perfect place for yoga and relaxation.
When springtime knocks on the door the valley turns green, the birds no longer hide from the cold and the sun shines modestly. In the garden, the landlady's origin is recognisable, tulips and daffodils give a colourful Dutch experience. During the day the temperature can be pleasant but the wind can sometimes be a bit chilly. It’s a good idea to bring a jumper and shorts at the same time.
In the summer the garden is magnificent. Flowers, plants and vegetables come to full bloom and give the environment a paradisiacal appearance. The temperatures reach their highest value during this season, relaxing by the pool can provide the necessary cooling. Until late in the evening it stays comfortable outside and it is an ideal time for the barbeque. Finally, when the night falls you can admire the beautiful star filled sky.
Autumn is the time of the year when the surroundings of the country-house are buzzing with activity. Mid-September the grape harvest begins. Everyone prepares themselves for what is coming and there is plenty of work around. The surroundings are even more beautiful than usual because of the autumn colours that enhance the breath-taking scenery. The neighbour runs his boilers at full speed to produce the typical "agua ardente", comparable to brandy. The sweet scent of this traditional distilling procedure can be smelled throughout the valley. In mutual agreement we can offer excursions to experience the surroundings in autumn with its typical scents and lovely colours. Next to this, for those who'd like an active holiday, we can arrange a day of grape picking, part of the wine making tradition. In gratitude of the helping hands we offer a typical countryside workers’ lunch. In short: don't miss this chance to visit the country house in its peak of traditional vigour! Hope to see you all soon.
