Description
We are 4 humans, 3 dogs and 2 horses living on a beautiful piece of land in the south of Portugal. There is a little stream in the valley bottom that flows in the winter, many cork oaks, pine trees and from the top of the land you can see the sea. Since two years we are planting trees, setting up a little garden (supposed to grow bigger), implementing a water retention system - doing everything to create a little oasis.

We like to be 'at home', take care of the animals and the land.
