Description
I live on my own in a small holding (quinta) in central Portugal with 4 dogs n 2 cats. Have an orchard, vegetable area and ornamental garden. Beautiful and quiet spot close to amenities (around one mile to 3 train stations, besides grocery shops, cafes, touristic attractions) and in between two cities, Tomar and Torres Novas. I enjoy cooking and am carnivorous (I am afraid I wouldn’t be able to cook vegan meals).
Property has very good internet (fibre optic).
