Nature of well-being

This house is the quiet retreat for a couple who want to enjoy a few days of quiet and silence. Here you will find yourself; the sounds of nature followed by brief moments of total silence. Then the various rails invite you to hike through the forest of cork trees and discover the belvedere at the top of a great mountain. Go up and sit in one of the chairs and enjoy a horizon until the view reaches, over mountains and the plain Alentejo. And continue the discovery of a small lake passing also by the capoeira where you can enjoy fresh eggs and still find sheep and goats.
The terrace of the house is also an invitation to yoga lovers. Because the deck in front of the house allows us to enjoy a great place to practice, And let the hours and days happen !!

Wonderfull place

We had such a lovely time at the house on top of the hill. Everything was even better than in the pictures and our host was so kind and helpful. I would recommend this Wonderfull place absolutely if you like to be surrounded by nature and tranquility and nice towns and beaches nearby.

What a Place!

If you want to relax, like nature, silence and good views - this is it. António was very helpful, welcoming and friendly. The cabin is located on a massive property with cork trees on top of a hill, amazing sunsets included.

Ein wunderschöner Ort in einem Korkeichenhain - absolut ruhig und abgeschieden. Dafür sind vielleicht 200m (?) Erdstraße in Kauf zu nehmen. Das Haus ist einfach aber sehr gemütlich, wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Terrasse ist genauso, wie auf den Fotos. Ein schöner Ort für Essen, Weintrinken und die Landschaft genießen. Bei den bis zu 40 war die Dusche ein echtes Feature!Der Platz im Haus reicht gut für drei Personen, allerdings kann man aufgrund des Schnitts und der Schiebetüren nicht weiter schlafen, wenn jemand anders ins Bad oder in die Küche geht. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet, bei zwei Flammen muss man entsprechend planen. Hervorragend ist der Grill neben dem Haus.Wer Angst vor Heuschrecken und Eidechsen hat, sollte sich ein anderes Haus suchen :-)Ganz besonders hervorzuheben ist der super hilfsbereite und nette Vermieter, António! Er reagiert sehr schnell auf Nachrichten, behebt Mängel, bietet einen Tausch der Bettwäsche und Handtücher an etc. Auch daher ist das Haus ein Ort, an dem man wunderbar entspannen kann.

Excelente local para uns dias de tranquilidade e sossego

O local é de uma tranquilidade, privacidade e sossego absoluto. É a comunhão perfeita com a natureza. A casa localiza-se numa estensa herdade, com outras casas, mas que distam entre si mais de 500 metros pelo que a privacidade é total, e com seguramça dado que a herdade é vedada. A grande varanda permite relaxar em frente a uma paisagem magnifica. Um pequeno almoço nesta varanda é impagável. O chuveiro exterior permite refrescar nos dias mais quentes. Recomendam-se as caminhadas pelos vários trilhos, uma visita ao baloiço bem como ao pequeno lago. Pelo caminho certamente que encontramos o rebanho, como o seu balir normal. Tudo convida à paz e ao relaxamento total. A cerca de 7 km fica o Cercal com os restaurantes e o comércio necessário. Muito bom! a repetir certamente.

Perfekt für Ruhebedürftige

Urlaub im Korkeichenwald mit Weitblick, in dem man schöne, kleine Spaziergänge unternehmen kann. Ab und zu kommt eine friedliche Schafherde vorbei, sonst hört man nur Vogelgezwitscher und das zirpen von Grillen. Ein wunderbarer Ort um zur Ruhe zu kommen.

Space and Silence, mehr braucht man nicht. Großartige Ausblicke, nicht nur von der Terrasse, sondern von vielen Viewpoints auf dem Grundstück, Sonnenaufgang und Sonnenuntergang … Ein geschmackvoll und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtetes Haus, ich habe mich total wohl gefühlt und komme sehr gerne wieder. Und die Kommunikation mit Antonio war überragend 😀

Wir waren total zufrieden mit der Unterkunft in dem schönen Korkeichenwald mit den vielen Schafen, die sich in ummittelbarer Umgebung befanden.
