verdemar

VERDEMAR is hidden away among stands of old cork oaks in Casas Novas. The old tavern has been completely restored by Nuno and Christine, your hosts. One of the owners is a professional cook and artist, the other a furniture restorer. They offer ten little cottages,i.e.seven en-suite rooms and three with a kitchen, each one of them with their own unique touch and Nuno's paintings. The large garden, with its organic kitchen garden and olive and fruit trees invites you to while away the afternoon reading your favourite book in a shady hammock. Or perhaps you fancy a dip in the swimming pool before going for a little stroll. This is a special country retreat( 17 hect.) to relax and feel at home, far away from the stress and formality of city life. A place to discover the countryside of the Alentejo, with its exurberant wild flowers in the spring, and its beautiful beaches(15 min). Enjoy a leisurely breakfast as you plan the day ahead, and in the evenings you can look forward to a plentiful dinner cooked with fresh , simple ingredients and served with the excellent local wines. In the summer dinner is served 'al-fresco', whilst in winter diners gather round the cosy fireplace....welcome.
