Before and After
The construction of the pond in the meditation garden at Quinta Carvalhas – The Green Farm was a labour of love aimed at fostering tranquillity and serenity. Carefully planned and executed, the pond was designed to be a focal point of natural beauty and a sanctuary for reflection. Excavation and landscaping were done with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the perfect integration of the pond into its surroundings. The result is a serene oasis where visitors can find solace and connection with nature amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Our
Stables
Home To The Green Farm Horses
Quinta Carvalhas – The Green Farm emerged from a vision to create a haven for horses that epitomises comfort, safety, and sustainability. The construction of the stables was meticulously planned, allowing for a fresh start and the realization of our ideal equestrian facility. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure the utmost comfort and well-being of our equine companions. From spacious stalls designed to promote natural movement and ventilation to the use of eco-friendly materials, the stables reflect our commitment to providing the best possible environment for our horses.
