Beautiful property

We had a wonderful stay. Every detail that we could think of was taken care of and the host was very responsive and helpful. The house is beautifully kept, with plenty to keep my family and I busy (pool, board games, extensive book selections). We would absolutely recommend this property looking for a peaceful getaway.

Well appointed country house. Everything you need. Faultless house and pool. Very helpful caretakers. Owner quick to respond. Could not ask for more. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet vacation, not too far to shops and restaurants. Perfect.

Casa de campo fantástica

Sendo a terceira estadia, não esperavamos outra coisa e como sempre, não decepcionou. A casa é fantástica, tudo impecável e nada bate a localização, a vista, o conforto. O Lawrence é um maravilhoso anfitrião sempre rápido a responder e os caseiros estão sempre disponíveis para ajudar. Vamos voltar certamente.

Belle maison dans la campagne

La propriété se trouve au sommet d’une colline avec une très belle vue sur les chênes liège La maison est belle et bien équipée, nous avons eu des températures élevées mais la grande piscine et la climatisation dans les chambres nous ont permis de nous rafraîchir. La communication avec Vera, la gardienne et Lawrence c’est bien passée. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour

A week in September

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.

Great vacation home

This was our second time staying in this home and it is a wonderful property that is very well maintained and great for a family. Every detail has been thought out beforehand in anticipation of visitors. Our kids remembered the house from our last visit and have already asked to come back again. Lawrence is a great and communicative host, and we hope we can come back for a third time!

An idyllic country setting! The flowers, birdsong, nearby farm life - we loved it all.

This property, so lovingly kept by Lawrence, is elegant, beautifully equipped and very restful. The grounds and the pool are tidy and tended with care by Vera and Franclim, who live down the hill. Lawrence is the most efficient, responsive and well-prepared host I have ever encountered. I would come back again without hesitation.

Heerlijke, rustige uitvalsbasis van alle gemakken voorzien

De woning was aanzienlijk groter en meer voorzienend dan we aanvankelijk hadden gedacht. Prachtig uitzicht over een valleitje. Twee patio’s om te zitten. Prima zwembad met duikplank en heerlijke hangmat om van de ondergaande zon te genieten. Op 10 minuten lopen zit een fijn winkeltje, in een authentiek, slapend dorpje, waar je in de ochtend je broodjes en alledaagse boodschappen kunt halen. Even lekker tot rust komen en leuke uitstapjes doen. We hebben genoten!

Amazing as always

The second time, this time in the summer, did not disappoint and even managed to exceed expectations. The lovely, well thought out, and very clean house, swimming pool and grounds are the best. All the thoughtful details such as the coal bags ready by the grill, or the bread/cheese/butter/wine are a wonderful welcome. Even the ubiquitous flies don't come near you or your food inside and outside the house due to pest control they do. Lawrence is a very honest and attentive host. I'm sure this was only the second of many stays.

Excelente casa de férias, a repetir!

Adorámos os dias que passámos na casa do Lawrence, estava tudo perfeito, a casa é excelente (as fotos não fazem justiça), super confortável e bem equipada, numa localização maravilhosa, com vistas sobre os campos em redor e sem ninguém por perto. O Lawrence é um excelente host que providencia todas as informações necesárias e os caseiros, a Vera e o Franclim são muito simpáticos e prestáveis, sem nunca serem intrusivos. Adorámos, tivemos imensa pena de vir embora e planeamos voltar no verão para aproveitar a piscina.

Perfect getaway venue

Very quiet edge of village location (car essential). Very spacious and well maintained throughout. Excellent kitchen/dining facilities, well equipped with modern and attractive rustic features. Very useful to have the utility room as well. All bedrooms excellent, with lovely fresh crisp linen. There is also a toilet and shower equipped for those with mobility issues. The lounge is spacious with three sofas and a TV hidden in a cupboard. If the TV is a necessity, being in the cupboard only works for those sitting at one end of the lounge ( can’t be seen due to the cupboard). Excellent outdoor facilities with a deep pool. Beware, the steep motor path from the secure gates up to the property is just a bit tricky , but we got used to it and managed without any problems. If you are looking for a getaway destination, this is perfect. Some really interesting places of historical significance within reasonable driving distance, and we found a fantastic beachside restaurant, if you care for a drive to the coast. A visit to Evoura and Vila Vicoca are not to be missed. Overall, an excellent experience. Recommended venue.

Espaço perfeito para relaxar do dia a dia da cidade, muito tranquilo e privado. A casa é muito agradável e espaçosa, as crianças têm muito espaço interior e exterior para brincarem livremente. A piscina tem uma boa dimensão. Tem uma mesa exterior muito boa que permite fazer refeições no alpendre, mas também se pode optar por fazer refeições dentro de casa, pois tem uma sala de jantar com uma mesa muito boa e também na cozinha há um bom espaço de refeição disponível. O Lawrence é muito atencioso e preocupado que tudo esteja de acordo com o que esperamos. Gostámos imenso e é uma experiência a repetir.

Beautiful Villa in a beautiful location!

What an amazing stay we had at this villa! In the middle of rural Portugal - very peaceful indeed! The pool was gorgeous, the sunsets were remarkable. The house was beautifully clean when we arrived. The chilled beers in the fridge were a very welcomed touch. Although a very sleepy looking village near-by, the little shop provided fresh bread every morning which we pre-ordered the day before and the drive to the beach was very doable for the one day we fancied venturing out of the villa. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone wishing to get away from the madness and find some inner peace. or for those who love a bbq with a stunning sunset! Brilliant host.

Gorgeous location, large and comfortable house

The house stands at the top of a hill and is surrounded by olive trees, cork oaks, all manners of shrubs and flowers and beautiful sheep and cows. You can hear birdsong everywhere and the air is alive with swallows and jays and hoopoos and the beautiful azure winged magpies which you find only in Iberia. The house is open plan, full of light, well ventilated and has all amenities. The kitchen is large and well equipped so you can cook all kinds of dishes without the usual rental house frustration of bad knives, no robot, too small pots, etc... and you have a whole choice of places to stay outside catching the morning or evening sun or the shadow of the olive tree. All in all it is a great place to stay which I would warmly recommend.
