Our best practices

We recycle and encourage recycling by providing recycling bins on site;

We plant trees, flowers, aromatic plants and preserve native species;

We maintain our outdoor spaces using manual and mechanical means. We don't use pesticides;

We store rainwater for irrigation; Organic vegetable garden with drip irrigation and soil enriched with manure from the farm's animals;

We have reduced our lawn areas to save on spring water;

Our animals roam freely in the countryside, feeding on plants, vegetables, animals and food waste;

We encourage our guests to manage the spring water that supplies the accommodation in a balanced way, to choose not to change their towels every day and not to clean their rooms every day, in order to help us reduce our consumption of water and detergents;

Guests can pick vegetables from our garden, feed our donkey Cacau, watch the chickens and rooster that roam freely, go for a walk with our dog Fred or stroke our cat Orelhas, who loves cuddles;

Breakfast is full of homemade, organic and regional products (a delicious jam made from our pumpkins, the velvety rosemary honey produced by Vale do Rosmaninho, the marvellous mixed cheese from the Henrique Santiago Lda cheese factory, fresh bread from Pastelaria Flôr do Castelo or the regional cakes from Padaria do Salgueiro, and among others);

We replaced disposable products with dispensers;

Electricity saved through the use of class A+ inverter air conditioning, LED lamps and utilisation of natural light;

Exterior lighting is produced using small solar panels and activated by sensors;

Creation of a walking trail within the property, duly signposted:
