It´s been a really lovely summer, warm and dry nearly every day since April. However today we have substantial rain for the first time, it´s a real shame for our guests, but is much needed by the crops and gardens, not least by the grapes. We start grape picking in the village on Saturday next, about a week earlier than normal due to the hot dry summer.
We have had a really good year in the apartments with a steady stream of guests, at the end of the week they are all occupied.
Autumn starts at Quinta Sao Domingos
