Beautiful rustic house in the lower Alentejo region of southern Portugal just north of the Algarve. Set in its own grounds of three acres with terrific panoramic countryside views from the poolside terrace, it is the perfect place for peace and quiet and total relaxation. This is the real Portugal.
Inside the house is a fully equipped open plan Kitchen, dining and lounge. The living area has a large L-shaped couch and a 42inch TV with DVD player and opens out onto a covered pool terrace. Here is a great place to enjoy your breakfast whilst waiting for the day to heat up.
There are three ensuite bedrooms, two overlook the 12mx6m pool.
There is also a utility room with a washing machine.
Outside there is a BBQ and an outdoor dining area under a covered pergola, a special place to watch the sunset and thereafter wonder at the millions of stars in the night sky. You'll be blown away by the milky way, the summer shooting stars and the silence!!
The pool has sun loungers but no umbrellas.
Surrounded by fields with farm animals and natural wildlife it's a great place to unwind.
Should you be lucky enough to come in the Spring, the fields of wild flowers that the Alentejo is renowned for will take your breath away.
if you want exercise, apart from the ample sized pool, there is a 5km circuit along quiet farm tracks to walk or run on.
