A Paradise in Algarve Portugal
with an African Soul…
a unique eco-retreat
For those of you who have visited us before, you will be thrilled to see we have made a definite move towards making our lives & business greener, simpler and happier, without losing any of the comfort, good cooking and adventurous expeditions for which we are well known. The 150 acre farm set close to the Aldeia Da Pedralva is a beautiful, tranquil place. Because were renovating extensively or building from scratch we were able, to integrate our buildings into the natural splendour of the landscape.
Space The accommodation is a unique experience. Cottages are set among the Cork oak forest and are surrounded by a landscape of rivers, gardens and nature. Each space has been individually built, giving it a different style, view & beauty. Cosy areas, bright spaces with sweeping views of the spectacular natural environment.
Lounge:
a corner fireplace for reading, writing, games or afternoon tea...lots of comfortable cosy seating.
Eating areas:
a dining room with a large covered deck, for evening meals by candle light or breakfast in the morning sun. Warm summer evenings take advantage of our African inspired fire pit, seafood barbecues or a traditional Paella surrounded by a multitude of evening stars. Pizza night: home-made pizzas made in the wood fired oven… you have to try them.
Games area:
an area for table tennis, dancing, or just resting in a hammock reading you book.
Swimming:
1 large spring fed lake, zip lines, paddle boards; a new jetty make them ideal for swimming and fun in the water.
Outside African showers: each room or cottage is equipped with its own bathroom but should you want to foray into nature, try the outside showers overlooking the river. Hidden among the trees you are secluded from the outside world but surrounded by nature.
