PARTICULARITIES OF THE HOUSE
CASA PEIXE is one of three accommodations in SALGADINHO where guests can find tranquility, privacy and modern comfort in harmony with the surrounding nature. The house has a cozy atmosphere with an open-plan interior, so it's ideal for a couple. The large covered terrace in front of the living room and bedroom merges into an open part in front of the pool. The adjacent small private garden is surrounded by trees and shrubs.
The view over the water mirror and the landscape of the Serra de Monchique is breathtaking, particularly at times when the sun rises over the hills and the sunset paints them in the most varied colors.
Because it was built according to ecological standards, with rammed earth walls, good insulation and highly efficient central heating, the interior climate of the house is very balanced, and natural materials dominate the interior decoration. On cooler evenings, when the days are still sunny in spring and fall, the house heats up well with the cast iron stove.
The living room has a sofa set, a dining table and a niche with a récamière that can be used as a sofa bed by children and adults who are not particularly tall. The kitchen area is open to the dining table. The kitchen is fully equipped. The double bedroom, with its own access to the terrace, is well separated from the living room. The bathroom is spacious with a large walk-in shower.
The accommodation is suitable for teleworking. WiFi is free and reliable, with good speed and stability. There are separate lines and specific access keys for each accommodation.
OCCUPANCY
The house is designed for a couple, also for longer stays. For a few days' vacation, however, it is still comfortable for a family with small children. For two people who prefer to sleep separately, the sofa bed is an option, as long as one of them isn't too big or tall.
COMMON SPACE
Shared by guests at MOINHO (2), CASA PEIXE (2-3) and CASA PAVÃO, the common space at SALGADINHO includes an infinity pool and a charcoal barbecue set in the garden next to the panoramic "Miradouro" terrace. It offers breathtaking views of the countryside with sunrises over the hills and sunsets over the sea. The evenings are inviting forstar-gazing, as you can usually see the celestial blanket of thousands of stars. Anyone interested can ask to use the small telescope on site.
SWIMMING POOL
The swimming pool looks like an infinity pool, almost like a lake. Access is gradual from ground level to a depth of 1.45m. Maintenance is regular and continuous throughout the year.
The pool is shared by guests of MOINHO (2), CASA PEIXE (2-3) and CASA PAVÃO (2-4), but this is nothing to worry about: SELÃO DA EIRA is a nature resort where you can enjoy great privacy, and those who value privacy respect the wishes of others. Guests in different houses rarely visit the pool at the same time, and each has its own terrace.
ACCESSIBILITY
This accommodation, including the private outdoor space, is accessible and functional for wheelchair users. There is a parking lot reserved for guests in wheelchairs, connected to the house and the terrace by a walkway that is easily passable. As the access is on a ramp and the bottom has a non-slip floor, the swimming pool is directly accessible to wheelchair users.
ANIMALS
Pets are welcome as long as they are well-mannered and guided by their owners. Their stay is free of charge. There is only a small charge for the more intensive cleaning required after a pet's stay. For medium-sized accommodations, such as CASA PEIXE, this pet fee is €35.
BREAKFAST
The rental is self-catering. However, guests can choose to have breakfast items delivered to their home on individual order. Costs vary from €6.00 to €9.00 per person/day, depending on the items chosen. The service can be daily, only on the first day, or occasional during longer stays.
ACTIVITIES
MINIGOLF
Guests have the "Costa Alentejana" Minigolf course nearby, the first in the world that can also be played in a wheelchair. The 18-lane course is set in a large green space.
NATURE'S PARADISE
The SELÃO DA EIRA VELHA forest valley, 1400 m away, is a meeting place with nature, a unique outdoor leisure space. Guests can watch swans, ducks, geese and terrapins in the lakes and dozens of peacocks on the loose, visit the chicken coop and the organic vegetable garden. They can also walk the trails to explore the natural environment and see a forest that is recovering well after a major fire in 2023. Those who want to can walk all the way to the "Rota Vicentina" on the stretch between São Teotónio and Odeceixe.
The "Perto do Paraíso" terrace with a pavilion and various terraces and natural nooks scattered around the lakes and the stream invites you to relax and have a snack, and have fun with the little Easygolf.
On request, there are dinners in the countryside, and sometimes get-togethers with guests at the time. Arrangements for parties and groups are possible by appointment.
