"A lovely, cosy Alentejo style cottage situated in a rural area surrounded by vineyards, cork and olive trees. Everything was as described in the listing and the local property manager was lovely and made the check-in and check-out process seamless. A nice welcome basket was awaiting us of local wine, cheese and bread. Sadly, the view of the fields from the back patio was blocked by overgrown vegetation during our stay. The lemon tree was full of fruit and we were encouraged to pick them to make...

"This well equipped, cosy cottage is exactly as the photos show. Everything you need to enjoy your stay, whatever time of the year. Great base to explore the Alentejo. Montoito is small but there's a supermarket, bank, bread shop and a couple of local bars."

"It was a great place in order to discover the beautiful areas of the region of Portugal.

The kitchen is really well equipped and lovely to cook in, and...

"What an amazing time we had in Orvalhos! The house sits on a hill where it overlooks the Alentejo plaines. In the mornings , the sounds of bells and birds always made me happy. The locals are just as nice! The house was very clean and it had all we needed. We kept it warm by using the fireplace every evening. Olga was always available for any questions I had and responded right away. One item to note, there are village cats that sat outside on the porch waiting for us to open the door. Since...

"Jeder, der dem hektischen Alltag entfliehen und entschleunigen möchte ist hier absolut richtig. Eine überaus herzliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin, die das liebevoll eingerichtete und authentisch ausgestattete Alentejo-Haus ihrer Großeltern zur Verfügung stellt, damit wohlfühlen garantiert ist. Der Alqueva-Stausee, welcher u.a. auch zum Baden einlädt, ist nur wenige Minuten entfernt und befindet sich in einem wunderbaren naturbelassenen Umfeld."

"Gostamos muito. Casa tal como se vê nas fotos. Com todas as comodidades para um casal e filhos. Recomendo"
