Exactly what it says on the tin. A very well-equipped and maintained villa with massive indoor space leading via several large pairs of French windows onto good outdoor terraces and a fine pool. Good kitchen, good bedrooms and plumbing, huge dining and sitting areas. A broad selection of reading materials in English (mostly) was a bonus. Well maintained outdoor areas, with fencing to keep cattle and sheep at bay on their side. All mod cons, reasonable wifi (if it matters) and a good 4G signal. A quiet area, with excellent rural views and fine sunsets, and handy enough for Montemor and other small towns, or Evora for a more metropolitan experience. Very handy for the railway to Lisbon too, which is just 5 minutes' drive away in the next village.
Escoural has the basics too. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and recommend it heartily.
Slightly tight for parking (manoevring rather) if more than one car involved, but certainly not a problem. Electric gates on drive provide good security - but that can't really be an issue by any stretch of the imagination! - and the on-site couple who live in a house at the bottom of the driveway and look after the place on a day-to-day basis are very charming.
September weather still warm (so pool in use daily), with temps between low twenties and mid thirties C by day. Some impressive short storms on some evenings after the heat had built up, but soon passed after giving a free display of nature's raw power!
A first-class villa for a fine break in a beautiful unspoilt part of Portugal.
