The mill is a magical hilltop haven, a beautiful and unique private home that is occasionally let to the lucky traveller seeking something private, secluded and special. Perfect for couples escaping for a romantic break and families alike.
The grounds of the mill are divided into different walled gardens areas where you can enjoy or avoid the sun at your leisure or swim in a delightful bio-pool. A sand terrace surrounds half the mill perfect for relaxing, letting children run free or for a good old game of Petanque. There's a tree swing, a hammock slung between an almond and an olive tree and three outside eating areas.
The 8m x 3m bio-pool is 2m deep and perfect for a cooling swim. The pool is chemical free and filtered by a water garden of aquatic plants. It was designed in partnership with the designer behind the award winning pool at Hampton Court. There is free wifi, books, a well stocked DVD library, a PS3, cards and boardgames, binoculars, body boards, balls and lots more for guests to enjoy. A welcome pack of local wine and food greets every guest so you can arrive unprepared and not worry. Also there's a detailed information pack full of useful information.
Situated in an ecological reserve the mill stands on a hill overlooking the plains that roll their way from the Atlantic coast to the Spanish border. Tucked away between the delightful quiet town of Ourique and the picturesque Odemira the mill may be secluded but it is not isolated. The mill is a perfect base for birdwatching, cycling, stargazing, walking, horse riding and exploring.
It is just a ten minute walk to the local village shops and restaurant, and a fifteen minute drive to the nearest town, banks and supermarkets etc. Fabulous beaches are 30 minutes away and wonderful lakes are much closer, and great walks straight from the back door. It's also the ultimate retreat for those wanting to get away from it all.
