Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Portalegre region, Portugal

About the area: The cottage is situated close to the Spanish border in the Alentejo, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of Portugal. The area is steeped in history and there are many castles and other ancient remains to visit. On the doorstep is the Sao Mamede Natural Park, a haven for many of Europe's rarest birds and animals. There are a number of dams and reservoirs for swimming, as well as outdoor public pools.

About the property: The cottage lies within 130 acres of woodland and pastureland abounding with cork oaks, eucalyptus and umbrella pines. Indigenous shrubs and flowers flourish in their natural state. A small vineyard has recently been planted. From the wild flower garden and rough hewn terrace of the cottage are wonderful rural views over hills and valleys. There is a tennis court on the estate which cottage occupants share with the main house. Despite its peaceful and secluded position, it is possible to walk to the small local village in under 10 minutes

Fantastic Stay - October 2008

Anne & Andrew Helmsley, North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: October 22, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
A very peaceful location, with wonderful views and a 'sun trap' terrace! Fantastic walking routes which were well signed, all offering something different. Many local attractions.

Portalegre offers good amenities, large supermarkets and good value for money. To get by, you do need to speak a little portuguese though!

The cottage offered spacious accommodation, loads of hot water and cooking facilities. The wood burning stove and bottle of home produced wine offered warmth on the cooler nights! The only negative comment is that the blankets could do with a little upgrading and the addition of a microwave would be useful, but this did not spoil our enjoyment at all.

Would recommend to others looking for rustic charm, peace and excellent touring opportunities.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
'We enjoyed our stay in the cottage immensely..those days were so blissfully peaceful that coming back to the noise and frenetic pace of London is a bit of a shock'
'I just had to write to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa do Outeiro. It is the kind of place we always seek and rarely find. We loved everything about it particularly the peace, the beautiful views and the isolation. We had some wonderful car trips - this area of the Alentejo was a real revelation. We loved the virtually traffic-less straight roads and small unspoilt villages, the beautiful cork oak forests and eccentric stork nests!'
