Accommodation
The Windmill
Sleeps 4
Step into the enchanted world of a restored windmill, where the magic of the past meets the ease of modern living. The mill features a beautiful master bedroom with a sea view, a cozy wooden ceiling, and the original mill shaft as a centerpiece. A second room offers two beds (separable or joined as a double), while the living room includes a custom-designed unit that transforms into a comfortable double bed. A unique space where nature and history embrace to create an unforgettable experience.
The Miller's House
Sleeps 4
Next to the mill stands the old miller’s house—a peaceful hideaway full of character. It features a romantic double room with a fireplace, a second twin room, and a shared bathroom. The spacious living area, with its large sunlit windows, opens onto the countryside, while the kitchen—authentically Portuguese—adds a rustic flair. The sofa, nestled in a cozy nook, becomes a double bed. It’s a stay steeped in timeless charm, history, and comfort.
