Casa Velha, the 'Old House' is the original house.
It was built in the style typical of the Alentejo. The thick adobe walls ensure that the house remains cool even in the middle summer and in winter they keep the cold out.
Ceilings in the front two bedrooms are in the traditional way of reed, both rooms have windows with shutters that give a view on a mountainside with ferns and oaks. In one of the two rooms is a cot ready for the still small guest.
Behind the door there is a hallway that leads to the spacious kitchen. It is equipped with simple but complete comfort: a four-burner stove, microwave and refrigerator. Crockery, cutlery, cookware and coffee maker missing, too. Sometimes, in the early pre-and after-years, can be very pleasant for heating the kitchen. The original fireplace is still intact, but the stove next to it heats the room faster and better.
