Casa da Toupeira (Mole Cottage) was transformed in 2009 from a derelict, roofless animal store into a light, airy and very comfortable holiday cottage with fabulous open views over the local countryside. It has been tastefully decorated and furnished in a simple style in keeping with the property.
There are exposed stone walls, wooden doors and windows and cool tiled floors. The do
wnstairs area is open-plan with a kitchen and dinning area at one end and the seating area at the other.
The kitchen is fully fitted with a gas cooker, a fridge/freezer and a washing machine. All crockery, cutlery, pots and pans are supplied along with basic cooking supplies (tea, coffee, condiments, olive oil). There's also a complimentary "welcome pack" of bread, cereal, eggs, etc.
The lounge has a large sofa bed (kingsize) and two easy chairs along with occasional tables and lamps. There is a wood burning stove to take the chill off the air in the winter months. Upstairs there is a double bedroom with a door to a small balcony - perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening! There is also a small single bedroom with a large storage cupboard. The bathroom has a white suite of toilet, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.
Outside there is a private, tiled patio with a table and chairs for al fresco meals and ample space for sunbathing.
There is a separate sun terrace next to the above ground swimming pool (shared with the main house).
The pool is available from May to September and is perfect for cooling off after a days sightseeing.
