Our little paradise is located between Aljezur and Marmelete.
It ´s 15 minutes by car to Aljezur and there are all kinds of shopping facilities. Lagos is 30 minutes away, the city is bigger than Aljezur and therefore offers lot of markets, festivals, bars and much more.
The beautiful reservoir (Barragem de Bravura) is 10-15 minutes away. The south and west coasts can be reached in only 25 minutes drive, where you will find the most beautiful beaches in Europe, clear wonderful surfable waves and the west coast is still very untouched and wild. It is a true paradise for nature lovers and surfers.
A very popular hiking trail is in the immediate vicinity of our property.

We were surprised every day anew how much power is in this small and dainty person. Just to give one example of many, almost all by herself, she freed our stream from big and heavy stones and many dead branches. That must have been very exhausting. Furthermore, she is a very creative head, she… read more
