The photograph of the night sky is stunning and Vale das Estrelas looks delightful.

You’re such a great narrator Alastair. I can see the similarities with Fawlty Towers!!! We’ve been laughing here all around the table with your stories. We look forward to see you again.

Yes, as earlybird testers of your Ecolodge Luxe last October 1, when it was already so incredibly wonderful (!), we can’t wait to get back sometime to see the finished product.

You are right, it’s hard to describe in words the beauty, tranquility, and undisturbed countryside feel, its sights and sounds. And all this with a wonderful infinity pool where we watched the early morning mist rising out out of the valley. And now, knowing there is a collection of selected Alentejo wines waiting in the cozy clubhouse…well. it may be very hard to leave. Vamos ver!

This looks amazing! Our family of five loves making trips to that region. I’ll keep this in mind (if kids are allowed?).
