Shaded by almond orchards, the Amêndoa cottage looks out onto our Negramole and Castelão vineyard. Wild flowers grow at the edge of the glistening pool which separates the living spaces from orange sunsets that sink over the mountainous horizon.

ABOUT

The Amêndoa cottage can can accommodate up to 8 people in 3 rooms with 2 bathrooms complete with scents from La'Eva.  Built by our mother the 1920's, the house was the first to open up to guests on the estate and perhaps was the start of new adventures for our family. We decorated it carefully, filling it with curiosities and finds from local sources, and with artwork and books from our own collections. Located at the westerly edge of our vineyards, the cottage is secluded and private amongst natures’ bounty and yet a mere stroll from the main house.  The kitchen is well equipped so you can self cater beautiful meals on your terrace or sat around the private pool that looks out onto the old olive grove. Get cosy in the living room after dark and you'll soon lean back into the rhythms of Algarvian time.
