The Marreco House is a newly built house of which the traditional style blends in perfectly with the beautiful landscape. It is situated by itself at the far end of the Quinta, from where there are glorious views of the valley with its vineyards, orchards, the old cork oaks and the Eucalyptus forest.

A private driveway lined with plane and olive trees leads to the house, passing the old gates of the Quinta.

The house, swimming pool and gardens have been designed with a great love for detail. The building is painted a soft ochre which is typical in the area and gives it a traditional feel. Behind the house stone steps lead down from the lawn to the large swimming pool (5m x 10m). Swimmers have a breathtaking view and the feeling of swimming right out into the valley, since the water flows over the edge of the pool on the valley side.

Ann's artistic skill with clay, glazed tiles and terracotta has resulted in carefully selected furnishings and decoration. The large open fireplace in the living room is made from a single piece of pink marble. The living room with its panoramic views over the valley was originally planned as an artist's studio. From the bedrooms French doors lead out onto the terrace with Moorish floor tiles, from where you can hear the crickets chirping and the owls screeching in the evenings. The two upstairs bedrooms also have French doors onto the terrace. The attractive and practical fitted kitchen will tempt you to cook, even on holiday, using the delicious local ingredients. All the rooms have handmade terracotta tiles on the floor, simple stucco ceilings and the walls are painted in warm natural tones. The whole house is comfortable and practical, and is partly furnished with antique furniture.

The lawn in front of the building is completely fenced-in so that small children and their parents can relax.

Four bedrooms (two doubles and two twins), two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, 4 bathrooms in total (two with free-standing bathtubs), terrace on the first floor, large living and dining room with open fireplace, satellite TV, video, CD and DVD players, kitchen with microwave, fridge/freezer, utility room with washing machine, private swimming pool (5m x 10m, 0.5m – 2m deep). Fully fenced-in lawn, barbecue.
