About the home

A beautiful house, located in a quiet village with a cafe and small shop within easy walking distance. Comfortably sleeping 6 with all rooms ensuite, it is the perfect house in the country for a peaceful get away.

From the courtyard, there is access to the house through the front door in the lounge or into the kitchen. The well equipped kitchen has all modern appliances including a dishwasher, microwave and gas range cooker. With beautiful views of the garden from the large window, there are also large double doors which lead on to the back verhanda - a perfect place for a leisurely breakfast, evening dining or to just sit and relax.

The comfortable lounge / diner has seating for 6 and a wide screen television with satellite T.V, dvd player and cd player. Being a traditional house with thick walls, this is a beautifully cool room in the summer, but in the winter, the large log burner turns it into a cosy place to relax.

Upstairs from the large hallway is access to 3 spacious bedrooms - a double master bedroom and 2 twin bedrooms. Each room has a large ensuite shower room with wash basin, toilet and bidet and large shower cubicle. One of the shower rooms also has a bath.

From the upstairs hallway, there is also a lovely balcony overlooking the private courtyard, which gets the morning sun, perfect for coffee, or an afternoon relax in the shade. There are also steps from the balcony straight down into the courtyard.

Private parking is through the courtyard and on to the land, enough space for 4 or more cars.

The spacious house was traditionally restored and completed in 2009, and has maintained many of the original features. From traditional wooden windows and shutters, to the large double wooden doors throughout the house, the house retains a feeling of the old Portuguese style, whilst allowing for modern living. The large garden offers beautiful views from the verhanda to the hills beyond.
