VERANDA
The property has a long and pleasant veranda shared by two of the bedrooms.

Due to the expansive space to the rear of the property, the veranda has enormous potential to be extended over the patio below, creating a dining area during summer.

VIEWS
Rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves stretch far and high away from the rear of the property providing a tranquil view, which changes all year round.

Instantly noticeable is the quality of the white goods and kitchen appliances, which surpass what is normally found in Portuguese properties. The kitchen has fitted oven, electric hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge freezer.

Easy-to-clean ceramic tiles have been installed on the floor.

NEAREST MARKET:
The nearest market is in the town of Penela, roughly 5km away from the property. On Thursdays residents from outlaying villages make the journey in to sell their garden grown vegetables, self-raised meat produce and fish caught fresh. Besides this, the ambience is one of meeting friends, having a chat and getting the week's essentials. Everything you can think of is on sale here, including the occasional used car! On market day this sleepy town experiences a little hustle and bustle, as besides the market, all other shops enjoy an increase in patronage. The best time to pop in to the market is between ten or eleven in the morning, when the best produce is still available and fresh.

LOCAL ROADS:
The roads in the immediate area are all of tarmac or, in some cases, maintained stone track. Any car would be comfortable driving throughout this area.

Penela is a historic town with modernisation in mind.

Penela features supermarkets, post offices, a modern, well staffed hospital and health centre, English speaking dentists, old-age home, schools and creche. Bread delivery vans still zip throughout the surrounding villages, however the town centre has a fantastic bakery should you miss morning delivery. Within and immediately around Penela there are also several wonderful restaurants each serving their speciality version of traditional Portugese classics and home grown wines.
