COVID-19 Statement for guests
To ensure the safety of our guests extra measures have been put in place.
Cleaning - Apart from regular cleaning, all areas of the house will be sanitised before new guests arrive. This includes all high contact areas such as door handles, light switches, TV remotes, cupboard and drawer handles, as well as microwave and fridge door handles and all chair backs.
Outside - we have introduced strict social distancing between guests from the 2 houses, who all have access to the pool and pool terraces. Both the sun terrace and the shaded terrace have been split into 2 separate areas to ensure that a safe 2 metre space is maintained. There are 2 extra photos showing the divided terraces.
It is most important to us to ensure that all our guests feel safe and protected here at Vale da Cegonha.
If further clarification is required we urge everyone to please ask.
House description
Casa Coruja is one of two adjoining, self contained houses set in almost 7 hectares of land which is Vale da Cegonha.
There is also a large swimming pool with both a sun terrace and shady pergola beside, which is shared between all guests. There is ample room around the pool area for all guests to enjoy their own space.
The views from the house and all the terraces are truly spectacular.
The house has its own front door and private barbeque terrace. It also has an exceptionally large open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The lounge area has comfortable seating for 6 guests and there is a dining table and 6 chairs. The kitchen is fully fitted and has solid wood units with granite worktops. It includes a hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, toaster and electric hand blender.
A further dining table and chairs is outside on the barbeque terrace.
Both bedrooms have zip and link beds which can be made up as either a large double or 2 singles, whichever you would prefer. A small childs bed or cot can be added to either bedroom.
Within the lounge area there is a sofa bed which can accommodate 2 adults, if required. Please note that the maximum occupancy of the house is 6 in total.
Both bedrooms also have spacious 'wetroom' style shower rooms ensuite, which include an adjustable height shower, washbasin and WC.
Please note that guests using the sofa bed in the lounge will need access to one of the ensuite shower rooms.
The house comes prepared with all essentials - linen, towels, pool towels, tea towels, washing up liquid, hand soap, toilet rolls, kitchen roll, cling film, aluminium foil.
You will also find tea bags, sugar, coffee (both instant and ground), olive oil, wine vinegar, vegetable oil, a selection of herbs and spices plus salt pepper and a bottle of wine
PLEASE NOTE: Clothes washing facilities. The washing machine shown in the list of facilities is not located within the house. What we offer here is a complimentary washing service for all guests who stay for 7 nights or more. Guests staying for fewer nights will be charged a small fee just to cover costs.
What makes Casa Coruja so special is that when we designed it we wanted to ensure that it was not only spacious and elegant, but that it was also completely wheelchair friendly. To this end, subtle features were included - wider doors, level thresholds, no steps to negotiate. There is ample space to turn around in all rooms including the shower rooms. These also have open spaces under the washbasins, 1m spaces beside the WC's and grabrails beside the WC's and in the shower areas. The kitchen is also wheelchair friendly as it includes an extra lowered work surface and hob both with spaces beneath plus a further space beneath the sink. Most crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are kept in large pull out drawers with space to the side. The oven is set at 50cm from the floor.
We can either provide or hire a number of mobility aids if required. Please ask us for details.
Evenings at Vale da Cegonha are a real treat. As the sun sets behind the hills there is no better place for an alfresco supper washed down with a glass of delicious local wine. Afterwards, you will be treated to a dazzling display of starlight, thanks to our clean clear air. Truly breathtaking!
Vale da Cegonha is the perfect rural retreat where you can just relax and unwind, yet close enough to the nearby town of Ourique (4 miles) which has a good selection of supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants etc to cater for all your needs. Ourique also has excellent road links which makes Vale da Cegonha an ideal place from which to explore much of southern Portugal.
We want everyone to discover this lovely part of Portugal, regardless of mobility. So our invitation to everyone is to come, relax, explore and enjoy!

Response from the owner I'd like to thank Jayne for writing this very detailed review for us and for being so complimentary. I am particularly pleased that her son James, who is an adult wheelchair user, found that the villas were so suitable for him. It is so important to us that anyone, regardless of personal mobility, can enjoy a holiday here. I'm sorry that the villas felt so hot, this is not usual. As a rule, we have what is described as a 'semi-desert' climate - hot during the day, but much cooler at night and zero humidity, which makes for a comfortable night's sleep. This year, though has been very different as it has been hot and very humid, both day and night. If this is a sign that our climate is changing, then we will certainly be considering installing air conditioning or cooling fans, in the villas. I very much hope that Jayne, her family and friends return in the future, it will be good to see them all again.

Lastly, I must say thank you for the complimentary comments about me. They are very much appreciated. It was my pleasure having Thomas and his family here.They are all so very warm and friendly. I hope that they will return again soon. J'aimerais remercier Thomas d'avoir écrit une critique si merveilleuse pour nous et de l'avoir écrite en français et en anglais. Je suis très heureux que sa famille et lui-même aient passé de si bonnes vacances ici et qu’ils veulent y retourner. Il sera bon de les revoir. Il est également très gratifiant qu'une personne comme Thomas, qui est lui-même en fauteuil roulant, souligne à quel point nos maisons sont accessibles à tous. Merci Thomas. Il est très important pour nous que nous puissions offrir un hébergement de qualité, de sorte que tout le monde puisse venir visiter cette belle région du Portugal, quel que soit son niveau de mobilité.
