But it still has all mod cons (except for a dishwasher), and a beautiful pool exclusively for the use of those who rent it, with amazing panoramic views. You won't find a more peaceful getaway than this, yet its only a ten minute walk to the nwaearest village and a 15 minute drive to two supermarkets (Pingo Doce and ALDI) . If you do feel the need for the beach, the unspoilt west coast beaches are less than an hours drive away. A word of warning:- This is a country house set in the fields and is only accessible along a bumpy rough farm track 1km in length. If you are worried about your car please do not book this property. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Gravel flooring in public areas - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Mountain biking nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 969 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed Note from host: Strictly no pets of any size ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: NOT suitable for children under the age of 10. ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher and a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Oct 26, 2017 #### Wonderful stay in an idealic location Surrounded by the beautiful Alentejo countryside, this villa has truly magnificent views. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquillity. With a host of unspoilt beaches free of crowds just a short drive away, the villa provides a fantastic base to experience a less well known side of Portugal. ##### Neik B.

Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful rural retreat Delightful place in beautiful countryside with panoramic views. The only sounds around were the sheep bells, swallows, nearby horses and the distant trains to Faro and Lisbon. Very peaceful and private but just a 10 - 15 minute drive to the nearby town Ourique for restaurants and shops. The Alentejo cheese and wines are highly recommended! The pool was fantastic and big enough to swim properly in. Martin the owner was super helpful - met us in Ourique and guided us to the property and showed us around. He was on hand living nearby and always responded quickly to any queries and also checked the pool during our stay. He was so kind when we needed to find a hospital - even driving all the way there with us and translating for us! ##### Sarah P.

Sep 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ruhiger und abgeschieder Erholungsurlaub Wir haben wundervolle 2 Wochen in dem Haus verbracht . Das Haus ist sehr abgelegen. Von dem zweiten Ferienhaus sieht man nur das Dach. Ein herrliche Ruhe, die nur morgens und anbends von den Glocken der Ziegen und Kühe unterbrochen wird. Die Zufahrt ist nur ein Feldweg – daher besser eine entsprechende Mietwagenversicherung abschließen…. Das Haus ist für vier Personen ausgelegt. Die Größe ist optimal. Die Küche ist gut und funktional eingerichtet, wenn auch nicht besonders modern. Das Schlafzimmer mir Doppelbett hat ein sich direkt anschließendes Badezimmer mit Badewanne. Ein weiteres Badzimmer mit Dusche ist neben dem zweiten Schlafzimmer. Es gibt zwar keine Klimaanlage, wenn man jedoch morgens gut durchlüftet, hält sich die Kühle den ganzen Tag. Der Pool ist groß genug, um ein wenig schwimmen zu können (auch im Kreis). So kann man herrlich die Aussicht auf die Gegend von der Terrasse aus genießen und sich kurz im Pool abkühlen, um dann weiter auf den Liegen zu entspannen. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir haben ihn nur kurz kennengelernt, da er selbst im Urlaub war. Dafür war ein Freund von ihm hilfsbereit uns zur Seite gestellt. Das nächstgelegene Dorf bietet nur geringe Einkaufsmöglichkeiten bzw Restaurants für Mittagessen. Die nächsten Supermärkte sind aber nur 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt und gut zu erreichen. Algrave und Westküste sind rund eine Autostunde entfernt. Die Wohnung eignet sich daher nicht unbedingt als Ausgangspunkt für Strandurlab. ##### Markus Z.

Marten nous a très bien accueilli Il y a juste le nécessaire qu'il faut pour passer de magnifiques vacances 😉 Juste petit bémol des rideaux pas suffisamment opactant pour la luminosité dans la chambre surtout avec le levé du soleil Sinon tout était parfait Je recommande pour ceux qui veulent vraiment se reposer dans le calme ##### BEATRICE P.

We were looking for a private place with a private pool. This was a perfect place for us. We were completely isolated but still close enough to do shopping or go to a restaurant if we wanted. The kitchen was equipped enough for our needs apart for the lack of dishwasher The only negative thing we can mention were the wasps around the pool. But that might comes with the territory. Just a suggestion. Some of the windows should have nets to avoid some of the insects to come in during the day/night ##### Norbert F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marco S.

Entrámos ao final do dia e abandonamos o alojamento na manhã seguinte. Deplorável. ##### Marco S.
