Vila Nicolina

Vila Nicolina
May 25 2006
When we first arrived in Águas da Prata we came across this vila for rent. We looked it over and immediately started to discuss renting with the then owner. However, the owner decided to stay in the house rather than move to another city as she was quite ill and fragile.

Subsequently she died and the new owners began a marvelous reconstruction/renovation of the Vila Nicolina. A few years later we rented a house across the corner from Vila Nicolina.

This blog is the story of that reconstruction, step by step, in photos.

The Wall - Tearing down the old

Now they could tear down the old wall and clean out the gardens. There was a shed against the back wall. That was also removed.





It took a long time to clean up the old mess.








They had gardens here but they were also removed.




They started to rebuild the wall while still cleaning out the trash.




The first step on the wall, because they removed the shed, was to make the wall stronger.




Even the low walls around the vila were rebuilt.



This whole project was a long project started in Aug 2007 and still there is a long way to go.
