Welcome!
The House which welcomes guests is situated 130 km from Lisbon. We are on the Silver Coast, a renowned region of the Portugal, all that the Algarve in the South, it is here that a number of Portuguese traditional customs persist: the old women are wearing black robes and down to the knees. The fishermen wear shirts plaid.The climate here is hot, but tempered by these pine forests which coexist with the seaside. Access to the House is easier that the A8 motorway takes you directly from Lisbon.

The roof of the House is an authentic 'Portuguese beirado': each ceramic tile is stuffed with lime, this has significant effects on the temperature in the House: when it's very hot outside, the freshness inside is very nice, the air is thus conditioned naturally. Cold weather, central heating is also more efficient and sustainable.
The House is surrounded by 4000 m² of garden, my Greek origins caught me, and I had built a replica of a small Greek Orthodox Chapel, with the dome of a blue similar to the sky of the Greek Islands in the garden, you Greek dinner on the veranda just in front of the chapel. You can enjoy one of our pastries for sale on command. Greek dinners are only reserved for residents, we are not a restaurant.
