Great stay
Overall this was an excellent stay for us. Great jumping off point to explore the Alentejo region. Is as listed, very homey and comfortable. The only issue we had was check in. Once this was resolved, Paola was wonderful.

We stayed with 2 adults and 3 kids. Absolutely loved, loved, loved the village. There's not much to do, but feels therefore like a real immersive experience in a small village. The local library has a play area for kids with lots of toys and games, free to use. The accommodation is comfortable, clean, has everything we needed. Very much appreciated the washing machine to catch up on laundry.

Exellent accommodation and location for us
The house is lovely, with a beautiful view over the surrounding pastoral landscape from the rooftop terrace. The facilities are good, bedrooms comfortable, kitchen well supplied. The location in a small village east of Evora and west of Monsaraz is a very good base for exploring. Communication with the owners and leading up to check in could have been better.

A piece of paradise
This property is in a small village but worth staying at for its charm and peacefulness. You will need a vehicle but Evora is only a 20 minute drive away. This beautiful house has everything you need to make your stay feel like you’re at home. I could have spent my entire time there on the balcony overlooking the countryside. Simply put, a slice of heaven.

Really nice house and an experience of rural Portugal
We spent a week touring Portugal, moving between hotels, and then a week based here - good blend. The house is lovely, and something of a Tardis - much bigger inside than you imagine from outside. It was totally clean, comfortable and well equipped - we loved it. We were lucky with the January weather so enjoyed the upper terrace and our only advice would be to trim the cactus outside the courtyard so as to allow the view from the patio. The village is not at all touristy or posh, but we found it interesting to experience. The surrounding area is extremely well farmed. We alternated days driving out to lovely places like Evora, Monsaraz and the Megaliths; and days just "chilling" at the house, with the log fire in evenings.

We loved our stay here
This was a lovely cottage in a small village with a beautiful view from the rooftop patio. We received a welcoming basket and we were provided good information about the amenities in the cottage. Additionally our hosts were able to respond to our texts in regards to questions we had. I wish we had been able to stay a few more days as this is an excellent base for exploring around the area if you have a car. Thanks so much Natalia and Joao.

Tout a été très bien sauf un petit manque de communication avec le proprio qui s’est bien excusé. Bravo à Paula pour l’accueil et le départ. La cour est très relaxante à la fin de la journée de visite des environs. Merci!

Le gîte nous a d'emblée seduites. Refait en conservant ses caractéristiques, il est confortable. Les températures extérieures etaient de 35 degrés mais il garde la fraîcheur. Paula qui nous a accueilli est efficace et à l'écoute. La chaleur nous a empêché de profiter pleinement de cette region si typique qu'est l'Alentjo

Primavera inesquecível no Alentejo!!!
Alentejo, uma região magnífica, de tirar o fôlego. No número 16 da rua de Fora, casa de João e Natália, passamos uma semana inesquecível. Casa muito bem equipada e aconchegante. Do alpendre vimos a lua cheia nascer e o pôr do sol inebriante. Nada mais alentejano.
