As featured in the renowned magazine Casas de Portugal (Houses in Portugal), this stately home sits with pride of place at the top of the village – almost within reach of the castle.
From its privileged position, this traditional Alentejo vacation home is afforded, on one side, wonderful views across the rooftops out towards the pretty rolling country side of Alentejo. And from the other side, you can gaze upon its majestic sandstone neighbour whose origins date back to pre-Celtic times – the famed Castle of Santiago do Cacém whose fascinating history spans through the Roman epoch to the Moorish invasions to early Christianity.

Inside and out, this lovely rental villa in Portugal is a very special home. The genteel, traditional Portuguese country home architecture is at its finest here with scrolled stone details and impressively comfortable facades.
The gardens to one side and at the back of the house are sheltered, yet sunny, and provide a plethora of fruits from which to squeeze daily juices or pick for a poolside snack.
A heated pool and private garden suite with its own access all add to the multitude of modern-day conveniences not often found in homes such as this. But don’t let yourself be intimidated by the décor reminiscent of days gone by – the owners have gone to great pains to bring comfort and ease of living into every aspect of their magnificent home.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
In a 200-year-old home, there are no cookie-cutter bedrooms and bathrooms. However, every detail in this beautifully-restored home has been lovingly attended to by the family. Each room has its own unique identity – but comfort has not been spared in any.
Rooms are large, bright and offer lovely views of the village or the castle. All bedrooms play host to magnificent antique dressers, armoires and bric-a-brac, but are tasteful and uncluttered. Three bedrooms are on the main living room level ( 1st floor) and three are located on the upper level ( 2ndfloor). The Pool Suite, with its private access, is situated in the garden.
Bathrooms have not been overlooked – with attention lavished on rain-head showers, hand-made Portuguese tiles and all the modern conveniences. Three bathrooms are en-suite.
