What is not publishedthe gaps we looked for and did not find
Air Ecology, Water Integrity, EMF Harmony and Sound and Sensory Ecology have nothing published that would score under these pathways. On air, every unit is listed as having air conditioning, which states that a system is installed without naming a make, model, filter grade or fresh air rate. Beyond that, no filtration grade, ventilation rate, fresh air supply figure, carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound reading and no mould protocol appears on any source read. What is on the record instead is combustion. The property lists a pizzeria cooked in a wood oven, Supper Magazine reports menu items cooked on an open flame and old trees repurposed as fuel for wood burning stoves, Mr and Mrs Smith describes the indoor pool as sitting in a barn style building with a fireplace, and Places of Healing describes a wood fired sauna with an ice bath. These are recorded here and are not counted as air evidence. On water, Publico reports that rainwater falling from the roofs is piped to an irrigation reservoir, which describes irrigation rather than what a guest drinks or bathes in. Mr and Mrs Smith lists a water treatment station in the same sentence as composting, recycling and solar energy, with no indication of whether it treats incoming supply or wastewater and no specification attached, so it is recorded here rather than scored. Three pools, saunas and a hammam are published with no sanitation method, chemistry, filtration specification or test result, and no drinking water source, contaminant panel or laboratory appears anywhere. On light, the only statement touching daylight is the room listing describing the Studios as large and sunny, which is scored at Claimed. No glazing, orientation, colour temperature, flicker performance, blackout provision or lighting product is published, and Silva Dias Arquitectos publish location, client, floor area and year for the shared spaces they designed without any lighting or material specification. On EMF, the in room amenity list carries free high speed internet access and the concept page states that you do not have to be without network coverage in order to connect with the earth. Both describe availability rather than topology, and neither is a disclosure about wiring, access point placement or field strength in either direction. No wired data provision, shielded cabling, demand switch, router placement or measurement is published, and nothing published says wireless can be switched off. On sound, the environmental responsibility page states that the silence here is broken only by the rustle of the leaves of the property's native forest, and Mr and Mrs Smith describes meditative silence. Both are atmosphere copy about the setting rather than a statement about a guest room, so neither is scored. No background noise level, acoustic separation between adjoining houses, plant or air conditioning noise figure and no fragrance policy is published. Room floor areas, the nine hectare site, the fifty kilogram composting throughput, solar energy and the recycling target are published and measure nothing any pathway covers, so they carry no score.
Regional context2 public figures about the area, none of which scores
Public data about the surrounding area. None of it contributes to the score, because a property cannot be marked down for the conditions outside it.
- Safely managed drinking water, Portugal: The World Health Organization reports 95 per cent of the population nationally, 97 per cent in urban areas, 91 per cent in rural areas using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing. Source
- Ambient PM2.5 and PM10 near Sao Teotonio, Odemira, Alentejo, Portugal: Modelled ambient air over this location averaged 6.8 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5 and 12.4 of PM10 across the 720 hours to 2026-08-17, peaking at 14.9 PM2.5. The World Health Organization annual guideline for PM2.5 is 5. This is the outdoor air over the area, modelled rather than measured on site, and it is not a reading of the air inside any room. Source

Not published is not unsafehow to read these scores, and what this index does not promise
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores measure disclosure. These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. This index has no commercial relationship with the properties listed unless a badge on the listing says otherwise.
Conditions change, and we will not always know. Every record is a snapshot of what a property had published when we read it, and that date is on the page. Conditions change: a property can refit, change suppliers or replace a system at any time, and nothing requires it to tell us. We re-read records and ask properties directly for updates, but there will always be a gap between what is true today and what was published when we looked. Use this as a frame of reference for what to ask, not as a substitute for asking. Take your own questions to the property before you book, and tell us if you find something we have wrong.
We report what properties publish. We do not inspect, certify or vouch for any property on this index unless a listing says we assessed it on site, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made or outcomes experienced on the basis of what you read here.
Questions travelers askwater, air, EMF, and whether it is worth it
Questions travelers ask about Craveiral Farmhouse
Does Craveiral Farmhouse publish water quality testing?
No. Nothing is published, and we looked. That is a statement about the public record, not about safety.

Is Craveiral Farmhouse low-EMF?
No measurement is published. Only 14 of the 70 properties we have researched publish any bedroom EMF information at all, so this is the industry norm, not an outlier.
Is Craveiral Farmhouse worth it?
