About this property

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.

Not the place to come if you want lots to do, surrounded by other holiday makers.This is the place to come for a clean, comfortable, rustic property with a generous host.We explored the local area/beaches daily. Returning late afternoon, to enjoy exploring Antonio's property. Walking through the cork trees, climbing the look out points, sitting on the swing and walking to the lake. Evenings were spent on the balcony surrounded by complete silence. Breathtakenly beautiful.Antonio is a most generous host. From our first meeting on a dirt track when he 'rescued' us when we didn't find the house initially. We followed behind his car to the house on the hill. Stopping on the way for him to collect us eggs from his chickens and fresh produce from his garden. We had welcome, wine, water and cakes waiting for our arrival.Antonio is so proud of the house and quite rightly so. The views were stunning beyond belief and the tranquillity needs to be experienced.

Wir haben uns lange auf diesen Urlaub gefreut, weil dieser Ort uns das versprochen hat wonach wir lange gesucht haben: Ruhe und Stille inmitten der Natur.Und wir wurden in den 14 Tagen unseres Aufenthalts nicht einen Moment enttäuscht, im Gegenteil. Wer hierher kommt, findet nicht nur Ruhe, sondern auch einen Gastgeber, der sich viel Mühe gegeben hat, diesen Ort zu gestalten. Das Haus und verschiedene Aussichtspunkte erlauben es mit wenigen Schritte, die schönen Sonnenauf-und Untergänge zu erleben. Und wer will, sogar den Sonnenaufgang aus dem Schlafzimmer heraus ohne aufzustehen. Das Haus hat eine schöne Terrasse mit weitem Ausblick, und ein Grill erlaubt es auch mal am Haus zu bleiben, wenn man nicht essen gehen möchte. Auch die Ausstattung des Hauses lässt keine Wünsche offen.Verteilt über das Gelände finden sich Oasen der Ruhe, eine Lesehütte, und ein kleiner See inmitten der vielen Korkeichen. Je nach Tageszeit wird man begleitet durch das Läuten das Glocken der Schaf-und Ziegenherden, Vögel, zirpender Grillen und dem Ruf der Waldkautze.Antonio ist ein herzlicher Gastgeber, der einen willkommen heißt, für den der noch keine Pläne hat Tipps für Umgebung und den täglichen Bedarf. Und er hat manchmal die eine oder andere nette Überraschung für seine Gäste.Wir waren schön öfter in verschiedenen Regionen in Portugal, aber nie hatten wir eine vergleichbar schöne Zeit verbracht wie hier. Wir werden eines Frühjahrs sicher wiederkommen.

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.
