You reach the remote property via a dead end and stand undiminished in a well-tended garden with old pines, palm trees and typical plants. The south-facing house stands in the middle of the area, a high wall protects from the only neighbour, on the other hand there is only pure nature. Various shady and sunny corners and seats are available around the house, but the most popular is the small roof terrace, from which you have an impressive 180 ° view and can watch the tides in the lagoon all day.
The house is furnished in a rustic Portuguese style, with personal details and selected pictures on the walls. All rooms have several windows and allow the view of nature to run free. Three bedrooms can accommodate up to 5 people, for which there are also two modern bathrooms. All bedrooms have air condition (on cost).
