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

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.
