The Neighborhood:

Monte do Sossego is located just 30 km from Monsaraz and Moura, both well connected by main roads. The property offers generous private parking for multiple vehicles. A rental car is essential for exploring the region, with several options available in Moura (5 km). Public transportation (buses) connects the area to Ferreira do Alentejo (15 km) and Beja (45 km). Walking trails and local paths lead you through nearby villages and rural landscapes, while Monsaraz and the Alqueva Lake are easily accessible for day trips or weekend outings.

Just steps from the property, guests can also experience the serenity of the Alentejo’s rural setting. In the adjacent field live recently sheared, very gentle sheep that happily accept small fruit peels or vegetable scraps through the fence behind the annex. Across the road, the neighbor has a friendly young donkey, equally calm, who enjoys the same small treats. It’s a simple and authentic experience, especially appreciated by families and by anyone seeking a genuine connection with the countryside.
