at Fonte De Touro, just to the West of the village of Sao Bras De Alportel,

room, again with high ceilings, a large mezzanine currently used as a
bedroom with another bathroom and there are 2 further bedrooms downstairs,
one en suite and a small kitchen. The final part of the house has a large

extremely comfortable and cosy, entering into the lounge, walk though to the
dining area leading to the kitchen, guest bedroom at the end and original
