This space preserves the rustic architecture inserted in a natural landscape surrounding, taking advantage of the beauty of the vegetation and centenary trees by the river, as can be seen in general, in the following images of the whole surroundings of Quinta do Moinho. 

The property is bathed in two of its banks, where there are two reservoirs that are, in fact, the ex-libris of the place, considered completely natural pools that nature has traced over time. They were built many years ago, arising from the need to use water for the mill and to control the water level. Dam 1 is next to the lawn, 10 meters from Casa do Rio, which has a magnificent landscape. 

Dam 2, is a little higher than the area of ​​the houses. It is a fantastic area for relaxation, where you can only hear the water stream and the birds chirping, that in this place there are the most varied species.
