Your home in the heart of Alentejo

The house of Paquetes located in Alto Alentejo, in the village of Terrugem - Elvas arises from the recovery idea of ​​the house of his paternal great-grandparents of the current owner. Upon his recovery, there was a concern of keeping the original design so as not to detract from the original solution. The stone walls and "dumb brick", as well as paving flags floors and wooden ceilings have been carefully preserved.
Consisting of living room, air-conditioned entrance hall with walls of "dumb brick" to view and coffered ceilings with wooden structure. If you choose to stay at home on the hottest or coldest days, you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere. Why not watch TV, read a good book, or access the Internet through the wireless network.
Heated Dining Room where the original architecture was carefully preserved. Stone and paving flags floor walls where you can not miss the traditional floor fireplace to naturally heat the house on cold winter nights. If the temperature warrants, light the fireplace and listen to the crackling of the wood. Direct door to the terrace provides a brighter environment where the sounds of nature come to you.
Air-conditioned room with a double bed where the stone walls and the ceiling with wooden structure provide a welcoming and comfortable environment ideal for a refreshing night.
Air-conditioned room with twin beds. Stone walls and ceilings with wooden structure. Open the window of the room, look at the garden and enjoy the nature upon waking.
The spacious kitchen with fireplace and typical Alentejo desk you can not miss the traditional calico curtains. Direct door to the terrace allowing a brighter environment. Let the smells of nature mingle with the smells of the cooking. The kitchen is equipped with all the household, this because we want to save time and labor. Enjoy your days of leisure and not worry about the housework.
WC spacious and comfortable with all the features, which highlight the towel with heating, to begin your day in the best way.
If you like barbecues with family or friends, enjoy the terrace and the shadow that the pergola provides. Enjoy the local shops and buy good Alentejo meat as well as sausages and traditional cheeses of the region. Taste outdoor Alentejo delicacies while enjoying nature.
It is nature friendly and the products that the earth gives us, enjoy the garden of about 200 m2. Recreation area with pool, deck attached and organic garden area where you can harvest the vegetables and herbs you like best to prepare your favorite dishes. Enjoy also to relax on sun loungers on grass spaces in the shadow of laurel

An Excellent Village House
Great vllage house with full amenities incl terrace and swimming pool, wonderful & warm host. Great value! Thanks Alexandra. The only 1 thing that bordered me staying there is that there are so many flies around and they get into the house easily. We had to constantly guard against them during meals.

Uma casa tranquila
Fomos à procura de tranquilidade e foi o que encontrámos. Apesar de se situar em Terrugem parece que estamos no meio do campo! Uma casa em que nada falta, muito bem equipada e tudo de qualidade! Recomenda-se ;) Ana

Elegancia y tranquilidad
Es un challet decorado con mucha elegancia y equipado con todas las comodidades. Es el sitio ideal para llevar a los niños, pues tiene a su disposición juguetes, cuna y la silla de comer. El jardín es estupendo, la piscina permite refrescarnos en los días calurosos de Alentejo, y también es muy agradable comer en la terraza de la casa. El challet está situado en un pueblo muy tranquilo, con buena vecindad. Quien desee dar un paseo en bicicleta, podrá hacerlo en las bicicletas que están disponibles para los huéspedes. Hemos pasado un fin de semana muy placentero en familia y pensamos volver a repetirlo muy pronto.

Tranquilidade e descanso
Casa decorada com gosto ao modo rústico, possuí todas as comodidades necessárias, áreas exteriores muito agradáveis com pátio e piscina que permitem diversos momentos lúdicos de descontracção. Espaço versátil que permite passar bons momentos quer como casal, grupo de amigos ou família. Espaço reservado que permite manter a sua privacidade. Aldeia de gente afável e acolhedora.

Fantástica
La casa dispone de TODO lo necesario para disfrutar de unas vacaciones tranquilas. Es amplia y limpia. Alexandra, la propietaria, cuida todos los detalles para que no falte de nada durante la estancia. Nos sentimos como en nuestra propia casa. El jardín con la piscina, es ideal para pasar las tardes en familia. Estuvimos realmente bien y probablemente repetiremos. Gracias por la atención recibida, sobretodo a nuestro bebé que tenía cuna, trona, juguetes, bañera... Realmente increíble!

Um oásis de comodidades
A casa dos paquetes ofereceu-nos um conjunto de comodidades dignas de um bom hotel. Apesar de estar num recanto de Portugal estivemos sempre perto de locais históricos que vale a pena conhecer. Aproveitem a localidade (Terrugem), assim como nós o fizemos passando pelos vários locais todos cheios de simpatia e boa comida. Fomos bem acolhidos, numa casa típica que nos deu todas as comodidades. Nós gostamos e esperamos regressar.
