Notes on accommodation: Casa Ginjeira is a comfortable house attractively furnished by the artist owners who have cherished it for 45 years. The granite walls keep it cool in the hottest weather. During the winter of 2014-15 we have installed underfloor heating throughout the house, which will extend the season. It is powered by an eco-friendly heat pump. In the sitting room there is a large selection of books on the shelves and a cupboard full of games, dvds and cds as well as a guitar for any musicians who have been inspired by the nightingales. Outside: All the rooms open out onto a deep South facing veranda with views to the sea. There are steamer chairs for relaxing and a table for al fresco dining. To one side is an olive grove, and below is a secluded garden with flowers and jacaranda trees where you can laze in a hammock. A winding path leads further down to the orange grove, where you are welcome to pick oranges, lemons and tangerines for your breakfast. The large pool (10m x 5m) is fed by mountain spring water and is up some steps behind the house with a fantastic view to the sea. There are plenty of sun loungers and a tiled table and benches for eating under the olive trees. There is a cottage on the same level with a ping pong table and various beach games/boogie boards et. Utility Room: Laundry room with washing machine, sink, airing cupboard, ironing board, iron. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Linen and towels provided. Towels for the house only, not to be taken to the sea. Linen changed once a week. Beach and pool towels also provided.
