Two refurbished and two newly constructed buildings (combined area 508.8m2), offer a total of eight bedrooms, comprise: four-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house with kitchen, living room and outdoor shower; one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house/library with kitchen and living room, connected to main house by a bridge; staff quarters with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living rooms and two kitchens; high-ceilinged, two-room apartment/workshop for maintenance staff.
Cobblestone paths weave through the extensive, self-sufficient, low-maintenance grounds of integrated Mediterranean, desert and rainforest landscapes that benefit from the region’s sub-tropical climate. The estate’s unique microclimate has enabled diverse planting schemes, including fruit, vegetable and herb gardens; olive and orange tree orchards; carob tree groves; exotic palms; and many colourful, blossoming and scented indigenous Algarvean trees and bushes.
