Lemon-tree-cottage is located in the quiet hamlet of Corcitos just 2 km from the pretty village of Querença with its beautiful XIV century church, bar and restaurants and just 3Km from the new (2023) 18 hole Ombria golf resort . A tranquil haven away from the pressures of hectic modern-day life and yet, it is close to everything that you need (banks, supermarkets, pharmacies etc. in Loule). Corcitos is just 25~30 minutes easy drive from Faro airport and beaches and is ideally located to explore the whole Algarve. A day-trip into the Alentejo or Spain is easily achieved as Corcitos is well connected to the key roads. For those who want to enjoy country walks Lemon Tree Cottage is ideally placed. The track to the Fonte de Benemola passes within 30m the entrance to Lemon Tree Cottage. Walkers and birdwatchers on a 2 week stay can find a different walk every day without repetition.
The Cottage is located within fully fenced grounds of about 1.5 acres with entrance via remote control electronic gates. There are plenty of seating areas around the pool terrace and gardens to enjoy the sun or shade.
The orchard provides a variety of fruit (Orange, Lemon, Apricot, Plums, Pomegranate and Figs) which you can help yourself to when in season.
The pool is 12 x 5m and mildly saline, with about the same salinity of a tear drop. The pool was fully refurbished and re-tiled in Spring 2021 and has a maximum water depth of 1.40m. Pool chemicals are kept to a minimum. The swimming pool is solar heated and shared with the owners. The pool is located in the heart of the property, overlooking superb views and with shade available.
An outdoor rattan sofa set, and swing seat are available in partially shaded locations near the cottage to provide cooler spots for guests to enjoy. A gas BBQ is available.
WiFi and the main UK TV stations are available plus a selection of DVD's and books.
The cottage is fully air conditioned at no extra cost.
GREEN Credentials: Recycling bins for paper, plastic, glass and metal are provided in the cottage as are reusable shopping bags. A 16 unit solar tracking array generating 3.2Kw/hr and a further 14 unit solar array (providing a further 4.2Kw/hr) for the pool pump help us to keep energy neutral.
Lemon Tree Cottage sits in the grounds of the owners home. Guests are welcome to enjoy the gardens at any time.
