The Veredas Homestead: A sweet, private spot in the middle of nature, yet not too far from civilization (1,5km from the center of Lençois) where you (and your company) can lay your head(s) to rest after a day of hiking. Read the information below carefully to see if this is your kind of stay! About our homestead: Our 2 rustic ecological bungalows that have everything to accommodate up to 6 people (3 per bungalow). The bungalows consist of a living room with table and chairs and sofa(bed), kitchen, (hot) shower, mezzanine with a couple mattress, an ecological cesspool toilet, porch with furniture and a hammock. We have amazing optic fiber Wi-fi. Located a bit outside of the busy center our place is surrounded by green. A great place to relax. In front of the bungalows we built a beautiful space sheltered from the rain for you to use our BBQ and firewood oven. There is a yoga patio, and a calisthenics space. We have fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a chicken coop. We strive to be as sustainable as possible: We have our own fresh water, solar water warming and ecological cesspool toilets. We intend to eventually convert to 100% solar energy. Our philosophy is sustainability and independence. We have fresh water from a well, a solar water heating system, ecological pit toilets, and eventually we want to run 100% on solar energy. We try very hard to improve waste management as well. We separate the organic waste from the dry waste. The organic waste can be put in a bucket that is left on the sink and gets composted afterwards. Regarding dry waste, we want to share with you our 5 R's philosophy: Reduce Refuse Rethink Reuse Recycle This is why we ask our guests to take their own non-recyclable trash with them at the end of their stay. We are all responsible for the amount of trash we create. We accept beer and soft drink cans as we donate them to the local NGO that takes care of the street animals in Lençóis. You are welcome to use all communal spaces provided that you take care of everything and clean after use. This goes for the bungalows as well. We don't have any personnel cleaning behind you, this is simply not our philosophy. We believe in mutual respect, and if everyone does their part, the place will remain pleasant and relaxing for everyone! So please, take out your trash, food rests and try to leave the place the way you received it, this way we can keep the price low, charging a tiny cleaning fee just to be able to pay for the cleaning products. THANK YOU!
