Swimming pool
How you can enjoy life more than by swimming on a hill? From the swimming pool, you have a marvellous view. Lounge chairs, (usually) glorious weather, a good book and a glass of cold white wine will complete your holiday bliss. The swimming pool measures 6 x 12 meters and the depth varies from 1.10 to 1.80 meters. The water is cleaned by a salt-based system.
Pétanque
Next to the swimming pool you find a pétanque playing area where you can practice your pétanque skills.
Twice a year – once in spring and once in autumn – Monte do Casarão organises a painting week. The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced students. You can paint or draw using any technique and any materials you like.

April: Spring has arrived. All the little birds are hard at work again. We’ve always had a pair of swallows on the terrace, but this year there are three nests. And one by the kitchen, and one by the front door. We reckon they’re all related.
There are so many of them now that the sparrows no longer chase them away. Very occasionally there is a panic. Suddenly there is a sparrow in a swallow’s nest. With a bit of human intervention, that problem is quickly resolved and calm returns. But what do we mean by calm: the swallows make even more noise than the sparrows. And more mess.
