Descripción
Our property/house is in the Alentejo,on the border to the Algarve, near the coast.
We are Gabi and Jo, a german couple, I am a veterinarian and animal protector, my partner is an artist, schamane and a professional autodidact and photographer. With us lives Roberto a personel trainer.
We are living in a big house, made from wood and clay ,we make oecological gardening and composting and reforesting and rebuilding our land after the big fire we had here .
Our place is in the middle of the nature, a very quiet place, with wild animals as frogs, birds, foxes and wild pigs around. We live in an oecological way, using only natural products and no chemical stuff.
We are living here with 4 dogs, 6 cats, a Kakadoo and 17 chicken and 1 donkey.
The ocean is not so far away to go there for relaxing on the beach or to go for activities like surfing.
The mountains are good for walking in the middle of nowhere.
We have a small and a bigger village about 5-10 km away from our house and some bigger cities around 30 km away.
We like to have here people living with us as members of the family, as friends. We can offer a big campervan with own kitchen and toilet.
