| Notes: | We are a working farm and vineyard, everyone is welcome to participate or not as they choose with the everyday workings on the farm. .The house is far enough away from the animals if you don't wish to do so. Meals can be prepared on request using as much as possible our own produce. We live within the same building but in separate, self-contained accommodation. If anyone is interested in getting to know more about animal husbandry, growing vegetables, caring for vines and wine making, we will be delighted to explain some of what we have learnt over the last 25 years. |
October´s Autumn glow!
Come and see the Douros changing colours on the sloping vineyards around Pinhao and the surrounding area,the start of autumn is a beauiful time with warm sunny days and cooler nights,driving in the car is a pleasure as too is the boat trip up the Douro river or a journey on the steam train to Tua.
There is a LAZ-Y-SPA for cooling down on those hot days and the swinging hammock for relaxing on as the evening cools down.
Other Activities Enjoy the relaxing LAZ-Y-SPA on a separate patio area when the day is hot and in the evening relax in the swinging chair.

A cross between Hugh Fearnley- Wittingstall and the Good Life!! Anonymous.
Will recommend you to our friends, Horse Shoe Inn, Pickering.
Feeding time with the animals was wonderful to watch and help with. Vanessa, Pete and children.
Clean and very comfortable. Lyn.
