The place (Casa da Adega) is not served with telephone lines, but most of the time indoors and outdoors a mobile phone can be used. Close to the house there is a small tank which used to serve in old times as a water reservoir for irrigation of the meadow, and that suits today as a recreation tank. The water is drinkable, comes straight from the bore hole, with no filters, and its allways renovating it self. In summer time, the mosquitoes 'attack' generally early in the morning, and also in the evening before dark. In winter time can be very cold in the morning because of the frost, but becomes normal again as the hours go by.
