Guest access

Guests can wander freely throughout the "Quinta". Enjoy the varied landscape, flora and fauna. Olive groves, pine forest , cork oaks, mimosa and an amazing range of wildlife, especially birdlife: eagles, buzzards, woodpeckers, hoopoes and golden orioles to name just a few. Access to the property is via a cobbled public path (approx. 400 metres) which rises from the main road and is only used by a few local farmers. This public path is one of the famous Gardunha walks and there are many more in the area for anyone who enjoys trekking. The owners live in a separate house on the path to the Casita and are always on-site to welcome guests.
