Frequently Asked Questions

What is the layout of Yavanna?

Yavanna is not a conventional house. There is one house with 3 ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and laundry.  All rooms open to the outdoors. The other two ensuite bedrooms are separate (20 meters away). There is a second house 20 meters away with another three bedrooms. Yavanna has been designed for open, outdoor living. The swimming pool is at the other end of the garden, about 2 or 3 minutes walk away.

Is Yavanna suitable for the disabled?

All the paths around Yavanna are cobbled, so it is difficult to walk with a walking stick. A wheelchair is impossible. It is quite a long walk from the car park to the house for disabled people. Please call Eunice to discuss your situation and she can advise you. A particularly useful site for information is: www.disabledtraveladvice.co.uk/home.htm.

If we take the guest house as a family rental can you provide a teacher for us in the studio?

Yes - a range of extras can be provided. Please contact us for details.

How far is it from the airport?

About an hour door-to-door from Porto's new international airport, or half an hour from Vigo in Spain.

If I can get a cheap flight to Lisbon, how do I get from there to Yavanna?

Hire a car from any of the major providers, and the drive is about 4 hours, or longer if you take the more leisurely, but beautiful, coastal route.
