Colina Calma Portugal - Holiday Home

01/04/2023

Happy First of April…

It has been rather quiet on here as I was traveling for about 2 months this winter, for now coming back to a lush, green and wonderful Colina Calma.

We missed you and will take you with us this season and show you more sweet impressions of this little paradise soon.

Our season is starting today and our first guests are arriving any minute now. Yeah 🙌🏻

We are almost fully booked - so be quick if you wish to stay with us this summer/autumn or winter ;-)

We wish you all an amazing weekend.

Sending love from Abris.

Rosie, Piet & me. 🍀

From CC with Love 💕

A house filled with laughter and joy marks a wonderful end of 2022 - another great year in which we welcomed so many of you and your friends and families.

You’ll always have a home with Rosie, Piet & me. 🧡

We wish you a peaceful and smooth transition into the new year. 2023, you’ll rock, I can feel it already. 💥

Slowing down…our summer guests just left…the nightly rain shower started - if you could just smell the lushness of the garden, hmmm

Constant 23 degree during the day, roses & Jasmin flowering makes one wonder if it’s really autumn 🍂 or rather a second springtime this year.

Happy Sunday. 🍀

Rosie Calma wishes you a wonderful start into this week.

After a weekend with some rain, today the sunshine is back, 25 degrees at the pool & new guests arriving soon.

Winter escape anyone?

Message me for option ;-)

Fast forward ⏩ to golden autumn 🍂 & colder winter days in Aljezur.

Imagine arriving home after a long beach walk, spending some time overlooking the mountains and backlands of Aljezur in our sauna, followed by a brave plunge into the salt water pool 💦 … connecting with friends all snuggled up in front of the fire place drinking hot chocolate 🍫

Hmmm 😊 we cannot wait, can you?

Plant 🪴 nursery 🌱

Our outdoor kitchen has a lot of functions - one of the best is you’ll get a sneak of all my little plant pots and all small cuttings I collect ;-) - they just love it there and they grow and grow and grow…

Coziness has a name - our beds 💛

All beds come with a quality mattress and comfy toppers 💭 you won’t want to get up watching the sunrise!

Welcome Home 🌻 at Colina Calma, our little gem on a little hill overlooking nature & mountains of Aljezur and Monchique.

There’s a special magic here you only get here - with us while sipping your coffee by the fire, or by watching the sunrise in the mornings.

First guests arriving tomorrow. Whoop whoop 🙌🏻 2022, we are ready!

What a day - what a milestone achieved at our wonderful house ! 🤩

After a long hard working day in the garden, it was time for some bubbles 🍾 and cake 🧁.

I cannot wait to show and share what I manifested & what became reality now!

Incredible work, support and help by Sam & Léo of wood 🪵 the Wonder Woman Magic Hands of & Aga 🪴 Thank you!

Stay safe wherever you are.

The Saturday morning in Aljezur...

A routine I only miss, when I am not here - so hardly ever.

2016, when I worked for a restaurant in Arrifana, I shopped the local fruits and veggie on the local Saturday farmers market, plus I learned the Portuguese vocabulary for all of them. 🍊🍋🥦🥕🥬🍠 lucky me ;-)

Followed by coffee at the church square, it’s a nice little tradition we love to share and invite every guests to try themselves. ☕️

Dear friends & guests,

let's be dramatic and say you won't be able to swim in your favorite river ever again and enjoying local fruits & veggies is a thing of the past and wonderful wildlife will be killed soon.

This is the plan for Aljezur, our Aljezur, your Aljezur.

After clearing the river bank with heavy machine, the plan is to apply glyphosate. A nightmare! In a natural park.

Please help by signing this petition, share it with your friends & make same noise!

Thank you.

Colder nights and sunny mornings have arrived in Aljezur... hmmm. So cosy!

Come along and give yourself a break ;-)

In front of the fire🔥 with a book 📚 and a tea 🍵?

Sounds like heaven to me!

Autumn 🍂 is knocking at our door!

Sweet dreams & incredible sunrises included.

18/10/2021

Lenha 🔥 the firewood delivery is an essential part of October. Receiving dry wood on top is super crucial for a cosy and warm house.

I am always surprised how they make it up our driveway & how precisely they drop the wood.

We’re prepared for the winter!

However, stacking all of this into the garage in the blasting midday October sun ☀️ was a 4 hour work out 🏋️‍♂️!!!

Thank you for your help.

It all started with a sofa 🛋

Today, 1460 ~ days ago this green sofa moved in even before me ;-)

Wow 🤩 times flies, right?

Let’s see who of you ever sat here and enjoyed sharing stories & endless laughter.

It’s this time of the year we’re preparing for winter 🍂

We’re open all year ;-)

However, with 27 degree weather forecast today, autumn and winter days seem pretty far away still.

Lavender had been one of the first self planted plants back in 2017 ;-)

The area around the house is covered in wild purple & white lavender.

What’s your favourite wild flower?
