Slowly, meaning unhurriedly at your own pace. That’s how we celebrate free time here. With a book in the shade of the trees, splashing in the pool, listening to the birds singing from the deck chair. With a glass of wine or juice on the porch, watching the sunset.

Choose from "Donkey Dormitory," "The Old Pigsty," or "The Old Cellar." The names are no coincidence – animals used to live here. After all, this is an old farm.And as befits a farm, you're surrounded by fields and trees, nothing more. In the rooms, you’ll find stone walls and furnishings made of natural materials and restored local furniture. Proof that old can be beautiful. For breakfast, delicious treats straight from the garden. The price includes bike rides with the wind in your hair. And at the end of the day? We climb up to the roof, with a glass of wine in hand, to watch the sun set behind the valley. The perfect way to end the day. Such wonders can be found halfway between the most beautiful beaches and the "Caldeirão" mountain range. At the end of a dirt road. Loulé, Central Algarve, South of Portugal.
