The fence is of trained quince plants for making the Portuguese 'marmalada' which accompanies cheese. There is also a cactus garden near the garden pergola. The estate is behind the imposing but little used church of Senhor da Pedra. In the garden is the pool and an asphalt tennis court and a barbecue area. In the main house there are seven bedrooms, four with double beds and three with twin beds.
Guests also have the use of the lounge, a dining room and a games room which includes a pool table.
In addition to rooms in the main house there is a very attractive two bedroom cottage with a delightful sitting room, featured in the picture. The bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and there is a fully equipped kitchen. In 1444 King Alfonso V, then aged ten years, married his eight year old cousin, Isabella in the old church in the central square in the town. The active and adventurous should take a walk around the town walls but the uneven surface and lack of guard rails make it unsuitable for the young and elderly. There is a fish market most mornings near the gates to the town and in October there is a festival of ancient music in various places around the town.
