The wider garden is a conservation area providing traditional natural habitat for the regions birds and animals. You have complete freedom there climbing the natural paths (you will need proper shoes or trainers to do this). Go to the trig point on the garden's boundary - the highest point for miles. There are seats around so rest a while and take in the magnificent views or if you prefer try a gentle walk around the lake. Watch the swallows swòoping down to feed. Many other birds visit including the colourful bee eaters and the local azure winged magpies, hoopoes and herons. Fish if you like! The fishing is good with excellent carp and wide mouthed bass. The lake is not polluted in any way and the fish are in fine condition. The fish must be carefully handled and gently returned to the lake.
Spring brings carpets of wild flowers and the nights have starry skies unspoilt by light pollution. Look out for the stunning milky way and shooting stars. Not to mention the sunrise over our lake and often quite amazing sunsets - sit on the back terrace to enjoy the best sunset views. Turn left out of the gates and explore the many paths through the forest and beyond.
This is a rural paradise yet within approx 10 - 15 mins by car you access a good supermarket next to a pizza/pasta cafe, medical / dental facilities, pharmacy, petrol station and other shops. Five mins further on brings you into Ourique with cafe bars, banks, restaurants, optician, garage and shops. There is a good view point near to the local Camera i.e Town Hall, with excellent views of the whole area. Roads to the Algarve or the west coast if you fancy a change are good and generally quiet. It is about one hour by car to either without rushing.
The area is a bird watchers haven with over 45 different species in and around the garden dependant upon season including the booted eagle, crested lark, oriel, hoopoe, jay, montagues harrier, woodchat shrike, and the regions very own azure winged magpie. There are lists of birds visitors have put up on the little board in the cottage. Over 85 species on the land and surrounding area.
We can sort out your washing if you wish. The laundry room is available if you wish to use it but we are happy to do any washing for you - after all you are on holiday! The cottage is very well equipped but just ask if you need anything -- you'll find us if you want us but never intrusive. It is your private holiday - ENJOY YOURSELVES!!
