Historic, peaceful, and amazing!

Margarida guided us right in and was a most gracious hostess. The villa was built in 1698 with a chapel and ruined convent adjacent. We had everything we needed to prepare meals. The views were fantastic all around. The property is located within a working farm with sheep, cows and one fat hog. Super private. Close to Evora and other amazing towns. Villa is huge and roomy. Bathrooms were very clean. Beds were clean and comfortable. Extremely charming. Pool was fantastic. Would be a beautiful winter spot with the lovely livingroom fireplace. We hope to stay again in the future.

Perfect place for telexed large family holiday

We were two families of four (kids between 10 to 16) plus two grandparents (total of 10). We were looking for a tranquil place to spend 4 days together. This place was perfect. Totally isolated yet within 10min drive to village with mini supermarket and 2-3 very good local traditional restaurants. A larger town with large supermarket is 20mins away. The picturesque city of Evora is also only 25mins away. The house has a beautiful pool (big enough for 6 to play volleyball keepie uppie) and high ceiling spacious living area. All the rooms are modern and tastefully decorated. There is a large well equipped kitchen, although we chose to pick up our dinner from the local restaurants and eat in the courtyard of the house. Dinner in the courtyard was our highlight. No noise or light pollution, it is incredibly peaceful and stargazing was a firm favourite after dinner. Margarida was a superb host. Would definitely book again.

Tranquilidade no Alentejo

A casa é ótima, muito bem equipada e com dimensões muito gerenosas. A localização é excelente pois fica perto dos acessos da A6 e de Évora. O local é muito sossegado e tranquilo, rodeado de arvoredo. Obrigado à anfitriã Margarda pela simpatia e por ter ajudado a tornar a experiência memorável. A voltar, sem dúvida.
