High Quality, Self Catering traditional home on the border between Spain & Portugal
Pomar Velho (The Old Orchard) is a farmhouse built 200 years ago, converted and completely restored to offer a high quality self-catering holiday destination for groups of between 4 and 15 people. Surrounded by stunning countryside and sitting in 5 acres of private grounds with a 5m X 10m swimming pool, sunbathing deck, and both sunny or shaded slate terrace al fresco dining areas dotted with fragrant lemon and orange trees. It even has its own natural spring which flows into a burbling brook below.
Pomar Velho is owned and run by Carole and Ken. The house with its 500 sq. mts. of living space comprises 6 double bedrooms all en suite, and one inter-connecting single room. It has a large dining-room containing an old stone traditional bread oven used as an open fire and an ancient stone wine press. There is an equally large family room with satellite TV, video and DVD facilities and a wood burning stove to boost the central heating for those chilly winter nights. Downstairs is a second living-room, also with TV and wood burning stove. The kitchen is large and very well-equipped with all mod cons. There is a 7th complete bathroom for general use and a library area with shelves stacked with reading materials, reference books, board games and jigsaws. The house has many interesting features with stone lintels, original beams and locally crafted chestnut doors and window frames – all double glazed. The thick stone walls keep the winter chills and the summer heat out. Outside there are large terraces back and front and a 10 metre swimming pool with accompanying patio; all of these areas are flood-lit. From the swimming pool terraces you have a stunning view of the São Mamede mountain range. Guests may also wish to stroll around the 5 acre grounds or walk 500 metres to the Portuguese village of Galegos or the Spanish village of Fonteneira.
