  Algo mais...

  Due to our organic principles we prefer if you only use pure shampoos, deodorants etc, no aerosols, no chemicals , no perfume, no aftershaves, and no tabacco users.
  Also no drugs or alcoholics.
  We live remotely so there is no town life or a bright nightlife nearby. There is no public transport either. We have bicycles which can be borrowed and the village is not that far. There is a cafe nearby.
  Our village has a lovely evening market which is mainly organic products and hosts a wine merchant and a micro brewery bar, the beer is made in the village and the wine nearby. The bar opens once weekly and is a great place to meet people. Closest village to us has petrol pumps a small shop and lovely affordable bar/restaurant.

  Lots to do in the area… swimming, hiking, river sports, birdwatching, castles etc etc.
