    The garden had suffered a bit due to presumably the dry summer.

    We had a fantastic week in this comfortable and cozy cottage. It was wonderfully quiet in October at the house and in the Algarve in general. Pleasant house fully equipped and also on the partially covered outdoor area with terrace was a good place. Nearby is much to do such as the special suspension bridge of Alferce, the excellent hiking (Fonte Santa!) And the beautiful Algarve coast at an hour's drive! We also had great weather, so we had a nice extension of the summer! We did have some trouble finding the house. As a tip, we would like to mention the sign to Lameira which puts you on the right path.
