:: ABOUT THIS PROPERTY

The following information has been added
by the owner of this property:

The area was inhabited as early as Roman times and was the birthplace of the Moorish poet Ibne Ammar. By the 16th century, Sao Bras was a thriving small community. In the 17th century, the Algarvean Bishops were drawn to Sao Bras by it's agreeable climate and made the area their summer residence.

However, the real prosperity of Sao Bras was created by being at the centre of the Cork trade. The surrounding hills were laid to Cork Oak plantations and the town became not only the largest producer of Cork in Portugal but the largest in the World. Whilst Cork Oaks are still widespread, the industry has now moved to other areas of Portugal and Sao Bras has now returned to being a diversified and natural Algarvean community.

Walking is a major source of recreational activity around Sao Bras. Destinations include Mesquita, Desbarato, Mealhas, Gralheira and Vilarinhos. The hills also hide the fascinating little communities such as Cova da Muda, Javali, Cabeca do Velha, Corches and Pero de Amigos.

Originally a Cortisa (Cork Farm), the Casa and its outbuildings and grounds have long been retired from these duties. Today, the property is owned and operated by British couple, Jenny Flitton and her son Tom Parrott who have transformed the property into attractive one and two bedroom individual self-catering cottages. A feature of this property is the landscaped gardens with large Swimming Pool and purpose built Pagoda to provide a respite from the midday sun. Over 30 restaurants are within 4 kilometres of the property and well stocked supermarkets are also close by.
