The crystalline salt water swimming pool (11x5m and 1,1-2,2m deep) is next to the Storks House, surrounded by old olive trees. The view is magnificent. Take the chance to try our local cooking and enjoy the countryside aromas that you’ll never forget….
We have marked paths where you can enjoy and see natural plants and wildlife.
Ask for a map and a picnic basket and go for a fantastic day. Take a ride to the weir by bicycle or use our electric buggy.
We can also offer you a classic drive on a sixties Land Rover with our guide.
Make your own salads by picking any of the fruit and vegetables you like from our vegetable garden. You’ll find a basket in your house so you can go “picking”.
At your home, or beside the pool, accompanied by nothing but the sounds of nature and the stunning view to the west, you can relax with a fabulous aromatherapy massage administered with essential oils from "Aroma da Terra".
Early morning you can fly on a hot air balloon over the amaizing green rice fields, Coruche village and Sorraia river.
Enjoy the biodiversity that only here exists on horseback. And if you like, we can organize horse riding lessons for you.
At the wonderful weir, jump in our boat and go fishing for black bass. And if you catch one, throw it back in again!
