Alentejo Holiday Villa with Pool - Portugal Holiday Rentals
I receive a steady stream of emails from owners wanting to list their properties on our site but -- since the original intention was to only present homes that we personally purchased, care for and love -- I never seriously considered doing so. Until the email from Heleen. I changed my mind not because her place is gorgeous, though it is, but because she wrote about wanting to care for her guests the way we care for ours.
Herdade dos Alfanges is a traditional working estate with immense expanses of cork and olive trees, herds of darling Murciana goats and glorious sunsets. The villa, lovingly restored and decorated by Heleen as a special retreat for her young family, will comfortably sleep up to twelve but is perfectly cozy for three or four people.
Children are welcome and encouraged with in-ground tampoline, ping-pong table, bicycles, treehouse and the great outdoors for running, hiding and hiking.
Located 20 minutes from Évora and 90 minutes from Lisbon, this is your base for exploring the lower Alentejo.
Whether your plans are to tour the Alentejo wineries, hike the surrounding hills, float in the pool or curl up with a book in front of an open Alentejo fireplace, please take a look at Heleen's special holiday villa. You'll be glad you did.
