At the heart of the property lies the fully restored manor house, meticulously renovated to preserve its original character while embracing contemporary comforts.

Adding to the estate’s charm is a 48 m² traditional Algarvian cottage, formerly the overseer’s quarters, now fully restored. This quaint cottage features a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen, and a pantry, making it perfect for guest accommodation or as a tranquil retreat.

The property also honors its agricultural roots, with two spacious warehouses: one designated for tractors and farming equipment and the other serving as a wine cellar, complete with vinification equipment. The estate boasts a certified vineyard covering 10,400 m², registered with the Ministry of Vineyards and Wine, alongside groves of almond, olive, and carob trees. A beautifully restored traditional *nora* (water well), an iconic feature of the Algarve, stands as a testament to the estate’s rich heritage.
