Staying in the yurt

- The yurt sleeps two – there’s a double bed – although children’s beds can also be arranged.

- If you wish to put up a tent beside the yurt for children you are welcome to. All bedding and towels are provided. You can bring your own tent or hire one from us at €25 per week.

- There’s plenty of space to hang your clothes, rugs on the floor and a chaise longue for relaxing.

-  A welcoming bottle of wine is on chill for you on your arrival and a selection of cooled drinks are always available in the yurt. Derek mixes a fantastic Caiparinha (a delicious Brazilian rum cocktail).

- Outside the yurt is your own private bathroom, with hot shower, sink, and ecological loo.

- The yurt has reading lights and a power point sufficient for a laptop.

- The yurt stands on a wooden platform beside a chestnut tree, providing all-day shade (hammocks and loungers provided).

- We live just a few minutes walk away if you need us for anything. We have lived in Portugal since 2001 and enjoy our hectare of terraced land with our two children, Theo 7 and Ella 4, the chickens, the dog and the cat. 

- A substantial continental breakfast is included, using local produce wherever possible. It’s served next to your yurt under a chestnut tree. Packed lunches and home-cooked evening meals are also available, with advance notice.
