Location & area

This is a delightfully green part of Portugal with arguably the most diverse scenery anywhere in Europe, and many places of interest, yet unspoiled by mass tourism.



The stone cottage (recently renovated) stands at the very end of a cobbled road on the edge of a crazy little hillside hamlet, only about 10 to 12 minutes drive from shops and restaurants. All you are likely to hear are birdsong and the gentle rush of the cascades. The views (house faces south-west) are gorgeous. It has two bedrooms, one on the ground floor (with bunk beds) the other (double bed) on the upper floor, right next to the shower room. The upper bedroom has a veranda overlooking the grounds and the great view down the valley to the hills beyond. All rooms have electric oil-filled radiators with timer switches.



The kitchen and sitting room are open plan. Facilities include: satellite TV; DVD player; portable hi-fi; games and books; log-burning fire (wood provided); microwave; fitted hob and oven; fridge/freezer; coffee maker; kettle; toaster; ironing; hair dryer; and of course cutlery, pots and pans, glassware etc.



Outside (and exclusive to the cottage) are a large patio with tables and chairs, barbecue, petanque court, and 12m swimming pool. This is as natural as a pool can be: spring-fed and with a smooth shingle bottom, water passes from the spring through 600 metres of black piping, so that on a sunny day it pours out warm into the pool (which is also in the full sun). So no chlorine, pumps, or boring tiles!



Special mention must be made of the gardens, which are truly magical - over an acre of little terraces, big rocks, winding pathways and a pond, bounded along about 120 metres by a series of cascading waterfalls, which tumble a total of 40 metres within the grounds - only slightly less than Niagara!



This is one of the most privileged spots in the region, if not Portugal, and the owner likes to share it.



The owner's house is next to, but separate from, the cottage, and is 'screened off' as far as possible for mutual privacy.
