I'm Fred. In 2013, my wife and I took over "Boa Terra" from family who owned it for 17 years and converted the old, neglected farmhouse into the attractive, comfortable house it is today. After the death of my wife in 2021, I am still very happy with the house, the place and the quiet environment.

The sun turns from early morning until evening around 20:00 at the front of the cottage (facing south).
We lacked nothing in the ...

A wonderful place to unwind, explore Portugal, hike and visit beautiful cities in the area.
During our stay we desperately needed the stove. The wood is ready and Boa Terra is also a good choice under those circumstances.
