Very characterful Portuguese Farmhouse in the Sao Mamede Natural Park, set in 11 hectares for complete peace, seclusion & relaxation surrounded by natural beauty.
The rustic farmhouse is eco friendly, being completely off grid, while being comfortable & spacious, With 2 bedrooms, 1 double room with double bed, & 1 twin bedroom with 2 single beds. Upstairs washroom with shower W.C & wash hand basin.
The kitchen/diner has plenty of work tops & storage, with a double sink, two burner gas stove, gas fridge freezer, & a wood burning stove set in a large inglenook fireplace. There are 2 further reception rooms, one of which serves as a place to stay cool in the heat of the day, & is furnished as a comfortable lounge. The farm is located in a hidden valley with streams & a small freshwater lake for a truly wild swim,(recommended only for competent swimmers) There are trails leading off the farm, out onto the mountain & you are free to ramble to your hearts content. The nearby towns are both medieval & are an absolute delight to explore.
There are lots of cafes where you can enjoy a coffee & the lovely pastries of Portugal, usually cooked on the premises, & lots of small restaurants serving local cuisine. Woolen goods, wines & cheeses, sheepskin items, & the local brightly decorated ceramics represent good value for shopping in the area.
For lovers of history, natural history,& photography there is so much to see & enjoy in this area of outstanding natural beauty. 2 nearby lakes are suitable for swimming & fishing & you can buy a fishing license at the post office. Looking forward to welcoming you to the delights of Alentejo.
