The Blue Villa
The villa is elevated, with commanding views across
the lagoon and countryside. It has three double bedrooms, two with
ensuite bathrooms, a single bedroom and a third bathroom. Seven
adults can easily be accommodated. Additional children can be catered
for by prior arrangement.
Public accommodation consists of an elegant sitting room and open
plan dining area. All rooms are comfortably furnished. There
is a well-equipped kitchen with gas cooker, fridge-freezer and dish
washer. There is no television. A CD system is installed in the
sitting room. There is a metered telephone.

| The swimming
pool, which is regularly maintained, measures 30ft x
15 ft and is set among the
pine trees which give Quinta dos
Pinheiros its name. |
A housekeeper, who has looked after the property for years, comes
every day - except Sundays and Portuguese national holidays -
to see to the bed-making, cleaning and any necessary dish-washing.
There is
a covered alcove, plenty of poolside furniture - sunbeds, tables
and chairs - and a hammock for the lithe and adventurous.
