Peneda ecofarm

Waste
We embrace a zero waste policy, which means that we reduce by buying in bulk whenever possible, not buying single-use plastic (disposables), recycling and composting. Please deposit your waste at Recycle House at the entrance of the farm, taking care to deposit all waste properly separated in recycling containers and, in the case of packaging, properly rinsed with water whenever justified – we like clean garbage. For non-recyclable waste, please use the common waste container, always keeping the lid tightly closed.
Rules for smokers
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in all indoor and outdoor areas of Peneda Ecofarm, with the exception of the following outdoor areas surrounding the accommodation where there are clay pots with sand and ashtrays. We ask smokers to stay by the pots/ashtrays while smoking when there are other people nearby, instead of walking around with a lit cigarette, as a matter of courtesy to those who do not smoke and feel uncomfortable with smoking.
Swimming Pool
The swimming pool works with salt treatment, so the water is salty. Access to the swimming pool is free for all guests.
The pool is not supervised, so each guest is responsible for their own safety and that of the children under their responsibility. Diving is prohibited. Running is prohibited.
The pool is delimited to the south and partially to the east by a wooden fence and rope that signals a wall over 2 m high.
The pool is 1.5 m deep in its deepest area, accessible by a stainless steel ladder. Access to the water is via a 3-step ladder in the lowest area of the pool.
There are shower facilities next to the pool. There is a lifebuoy next to the pool – its use is prohibited unless there are people in the water at risk of drowning.
Liability and Dangers
Peneda ecofarm is located in a typical area of Alto Minho, characterized by steep slopes and narrow terraces. The farm has several areas with high unprotected walls. We ask our guests to use defined paths for safe circulation and to maintain accurate surveillance of children and other minors in their care at all times.
Reserved access areas
Access to the Quinta's Kitchen and the balcony is only allowed during meal service hours. Access to the main house's living room, to the laundry room, as well as access to all storage areas and to rooms other than those booked by each guest for their private use is prohibited.
Reduced mobility
The Farm has a room in the main house adapted for reduced mobility. Access is possible with the help of a caregiver. Peneda ecofarm is motivated to welcome all people and help in any difficulty that arises.
Rules for toilet use
Please put only toilet paper in the toilet. Do not place tampoons, sanitary pads, condoms, makeup remover wipes, wet toilet paper, others. We treat our waste water at the farm in a domestic wastwwater plant. Please help us treating water properly.
