    Description

    Welcome to our quinta, we are located 2 km from the town Aljezur (South-West Algarve). We are a family, with two girls of 7 and 9 years old. We love to enjoy being outdoors. Going for walks, going to beach, surfing, hanging out with friends, doing handcraft, gardening in the veggie garden, eating good food, dancing.. and most of all having FUN!
    Since 6 years we are rebuilding a small farm with natural farming and animals. Good vibes and good food are our two main keywords.
