Ronda

The Retreat
The Retreat is a secluded rustic mountain cottage set in its own organic garden with pools and waterfalls and is visited by a stunning array of birds and sometimes, at dawn, by tiny Chinese deer.The only passing traffic is likely to be mules laden with fruit accompanied by their owners. At night the stars are seen, as they ought to be, without any light pollution. This is a very special place, which the Mountain people call “A place to dream.

Quinta dos Pinheiros

Quinta dos Pinheiros
Quinta dos Pinheiros in Algarve offers a peaceful family holiday on one of the few remaining unspoilt streches of Algarve coastline. There are two family villas for rent located in 25 acres of - now unworked - farmland. Neither villa is within sight of the other. The property has been in private family ownership since the villas were built in the early 1970's.

The property - 40 minutes from Faro airport - runs along the shoreline of one of the tidal lagoons for which the Rio de Formosa is noted and at low tide it is relatively simple to cross to the sea beach on the other side of the sand bar, which can be seen in distance in the picture above. The sea beach is a 5km stretch of white sand, at worst sparsely occupied by locals who travel there by boat, at best deserted, except for fishermen searching for shell fish.
