Quinta Familia is a farmhouse with a swimming pool, nestling in the beautiful hills of Cerro das Covas approx 10km north of Loule. The views from the farmhouse are across a valley of olive, carob and almond trees. Cerro das Covas is a hamlet on the outskirts of the small village of Tor. The countryside is teeming with birds, including eagles and owls, rabbits and the occasional herd of goats being rounded up by a local goatherd and moved to new pastures. A five minute walk down the hill is the local cafe/bar where you can buy a beer and relax in the sunshine with the locals watching the everyday business of the sleepy hamlet.
