The houses are located inside a 270 hectar property, surrounded by the Sado river from the West, South and East. Large paddy fields extend from the river margins, and ancestral cork tree woods and Mediterranean pine trees cover its interior.
The river, with its rice paddies, and the cork tree woods create a rich and diverse ecosystem, with abundance of wildlife. Here, storks, herons, loons, ducks and other water birds inhabit the river and paddy fields, in peaceful coexistence with the hares, rabbits, partridges and wild boar in the cork woods.

The suites are decorated with bright colours and have views over the rice paddies and their seasonal variations: water mirrors in the spring, swaying greens in the summer and restful browns in autumn and winter.
In all suites you'll find air conditioning, free wireless, a cosy living room, a bathroom and a bedroom. All suites have one large common balcony, overlooking the paddy fields.

Our services include breakfast with typical regional products and a Honesty Bar with drinks and snacks near the pool. Consumptions will be noted down by the guests and paid for at the check-out.
