Special information due to the Covid 19 pandemic:
Portugal has dealt with the crisis very well, by acting faster than other countries to apply emergency measures, so we have a very low number of infections and deaths.
The restrictions will start to ease on the 4th of May, more so on the 16th of May and finally on the 1st of June.
The pandemic has had a relatively low impact in Portugal and in the Algarve in particular, so restrictions here will be lifted sooner and guests are safer.
We have measures in place in our establishment to sanitise regularly.
The rooms and our establishment are very socially-distancing friendly as entrances to rooms are from the outside and we have large, open spaces both inside the house as well as outside.
Our carefully and ecologically restored guest house has been converted into family, triple and double rooms - all en-suite and with their own private patios and entrance. The common areas and outdoor areas are spacious. We have a ping pong table in the main room
As it is a guest house, there is a reception area where the manager resides. This is entirely private from the rented accommodation. I, the manager am there to maintain the pool and grounds and to help out with problems or queries and security, with the aid of our special house mascot "Cookie".
Local materials have been used where possible and our use of solar power and reed beds for the purpose of water management ensure that we do our best to promote natural living. Positioned in the center of the green Asseca valley and it's own garden, the once farm house overlooks orange groves, olive trees & the bamboo lined river that flows into Tavira. Wildlife abounds.
The large, kitchen and barbecue areas around the pool are perfect for large groups to enjoy the freedom of home catering or late night parties while the free table tennis table is where large and small kids can have their own fun along with TV and internet.
We offer recycling of all wastes as we wish to tread as gently on the planet as we can and hope that some of the positive energy of the house is taken home and applied, with every visitor.
The plentiful, private outdoor space is where you can bask in the warm sunshine of the day or sit under an endless sky of stars at night and is the perfect place to relax and simply enjoy life.
Cooler months are no problem as the entire house has underfloor heating.
Parking is free and can accommodate 9 cars easily.
Figs, pomegranates, lemons and tangerines can be seasonally picked and our hens do their best to give you cholesterol free eggs.
And last but not least Fazendinha just started to cooperate with a company from the Netherlands (PranaKi) that offers different classes of yoga, meditation, tai chi, martial arts (ninjutsu) or personal training and also give treatments in shiatsu massage and energy work. These are all greatly beneficial for health of body, mind and soul and will help you to get into a deeper relaxing state. For more information don't hesitate to ask questions.
It's not for nothing that we have many returning guests which makes us proud and realise we are doing something right.
Welcome.
