Between sightseeing, the heated outdoor saltwater pool and garden are open all year, from 09:30 to 19:30. For cooking classes, market tours and wine tastings, Canto Cooking, our culinary school, is on site, and guests who need more space can stay at Villa Almada, a 2-bedroom villa with a private pool in the same grounds.
