This family home set in a cork farm is a beautiful and welcoming place to stay. A complete retreat from jaded tourist destinations it is one of the most relaxing and serene places I have ever visited. Large, comfortable, peaceful rooms look over carefully tended gardens and a short wander across the lawn brings you to a wide swimming pool surrounded by pink camelia and hibiscus. Storks nest in the pine trees and one can hear their clacking of beaks in the quiet afternoons. There are beautiful walks through the cork forests to a resevoir and to the tower for which the place is named. The family are friendly and entertain their visitors with wonderful stories and converstion and are full of good advice about places to go and things to do in the local area for all ages and interests. The food was delicious too!
I loved it and will be returning as often as possible.
