Pool & Gardens
The villa & casinha sit within their own grounds of 20000m2 (5 acres) offering unparalleled seclusion & breathtaking views due to its hillside location. Privacy & seclusion are guaranteed by our gated entrance. At night the gate pillars & driveway illuminate automatically giving a magical aura. The pool terrace is a sheltered sun trap, facing south. The terraces are paved & afford generous areas for sunbathing, dining, or simply wandering about! Padded sunbeds can be positioned in full sun or beneath shady pergolas. A shady dining area for 8 is supplemented by a smaller pergola covered dining area in the courtyard.

The enchanting courtyard garden at the front of the house is enclosed & affords more shade - an inviting place for quite time or just to find a little more cool.
In yet another separate area, the covered table tennis area is a firm favorite for children, teenagers & grown ups alike. Also in the same area is a boule pitch for less energetic sporting activity.
A large solar thermal collector channels heat to both the pool & adjacent hot tub/jacuzzi. This provides pool temperatures of around 30'C from May to end August, the effect diminishing through the late summer. Please read FAQs for details on pool heating.
There is ample covered shade, poolside furniture & dining facilities for any size of group. A built in barbeque stands on a separate terrace nearby. At night the pool terraces can be floodlit and, together with lighting in the flower beds & lanterns around the villa & casinha, create a special after dark ambience.
Quinta dos Sonhos is in a conservation area where wildlife proliferates. We have 20000 M2 of grounds - space to wander about, to explore, or just to reflect. Quinta dos Sonhos - House of Dreams
