the hosts

Elsa, Nuno, Bernd and Iris Uhe-Rodrigues


In the year 1986 the carpenter and self made man Bernd from Cologne, Germany started renovating the farm house and continued extending ever since. Over the years the vaccation homes and some side buildings were constructed.


His wife Elsa comes from Lisbon and works as a teacher in Aljezur. For more  than 10 years she preferes living in the plain nature of Quinta da Tosca better than in the busy Portuguese Capital.


In the year 2001 came along a daughter Iris and three years later a son Nuno. All together and their animals are the permanent residents of this quinta, which is often called a little paradise.
