Quintarola Andorinhas (Swallow’s Cottage) is a picturesque Portuguese cottage, with a natural swimming pond, nestled inside its own walled garden.
This secluded get away; perched on a hill top, overlooking rural land is perfect for short or long stay breaks. The main cottage sleeps 5 and the spacious Annex accommodates a further 2 guests.
The ground level of the cottage has an open kitchen, dining and living room and toilet. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms separated by the stairs, where 5 people can sleep. There is a bathroom with a rain-shower, toilet and bidet. The Annex building accommodates a further 2 guests and includes a kitchen area with fridge, washing machine and dryer, and a shower and toilet.
The property is fitted with modern amenities which include: WiFi, smart TV with internet connection, Netflix and movie library, airco, outside kitchen with open grill, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, and a cosy wood burner for colder evenings.
Within the walls of the garden you will find the generously sized swimming pond, which is positioned between the plants of the garden. No chemicals are used in the water, so you can enjoy swimming without irritating your eyes and skin, or impacting the environment. This also means that some frogs are also able to enjoy a swim in the clean, fresh water. The water is cleaned naturally through lava stones and plants, and then finally filtered through an ultraviolet light in the pump house.
There is an outside shower where you can wash off your sunscreen before getting into the pool, and we respectfully ask you to use organic sunscreen, so that you reduce what you take with you into the water.
