Description
We, Cherike and Robert, are a dutch couple in our mid fifties enjoying the peace and quiet in the beautifull Alentejo.
Our property is 8 hectares so we have a lot of work to do. Cutting trees, mowing land, digging trenches and whatever else needs to be done like painting, cooking or attending the greenhouse and outer beds.
Our land has a variety of trees and plants like Cork, medronho, Eucalyptus etc.
We have 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 elderly horses, 5 chickens and one rooster. All need and give lots of love and attention.
Although secluded we are only 16km from the ocean and its beautiful beaches. Sao Teotonio is only 8km away.
We offer a nice place, with kitchen and private bathroom. Private and tranquil.

Accommodation
Private small house with kitchen and bathroom.
Full boarding. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. For breakfast and lunch we could provide ingredients and dinner is together but can also be discussed.
We eat mostly vegetarian.
What else ...
If you enjoy hicking you can go directly from our place. An inland stretch of 35Km to Saboia is at our doorstep.
Also the Rota vicentina is close by.
Spend time at the beaches.
You can join daily meditation if you like.
Unfortunately there is no public transportation. We can offer to pick you up from and bring you back to the trainstation (Saboia / Santa Clara) or from the busstation in Odemira or Sao Teotónio.
If you have your own means of transport that would be best.
