General Information
Facilities for Children
Children are very welcome here. There are many facilities for play and exploration, and open space to spread their wings, and a beautiful river pool, full even in the height of summer. The cottages are 150m from the road, along which pass maybe 10 vehicles per day, eliminating traffic safety and pollution concerns. You may park close to the cottages.

We are happy to eat communally and share "pot luck" meals sometimes, or equally, your space is your own. We often have pizza evenings in our "enchanted space", adjoining our traditional bread oven when we also bake our bread, You are more than welcome to participate and learn how.
Facilities on hand locally
Safe, accessible beaches, some with a café and quite popular, others which you can find almost to yourselves in the height of summer. The nearest beach,14km away, has clean white sands in a sheltered estuary with sand dunes and without waves, ideal for young children.
We are within 500 metres of the long-distance Via Algarviana long-distance walking trail, and the valley and hills have beautiful walking trails. Lagos zoo is a relaxed and tranquil place, where the animals are treated with an admirable degree of respect. Horse-riding, donkey-trekking and mountainbike hire can easily be arranged at any time of the year. Bird-life is abundant and varied, with several rare specied to be spotted by enthusiasts. 6 km away in picturesque Aljezur, is a Moorish castle ruin, many cafes and restaurants, a swimming pool, banks, pharmacy, post office, health centre, dentist and health food shop.
