Description
Idyllically situated at the foot of the "Serra de Cercal," the holiday home lies at the end of a country lane, surrounded by gentle hills.
In the midst of nature, you will be indulged here with pure tranquility.
Here you have the opportunity to let your soul unwind, or to enjoy extensive walks through unspoiled landscapes.
On two levels you will find . . .
in the entrance area a cozy pull-out couch seating area, on which 2 adults or children can sleep comfortably, satellite TV, and a wood-burning stove. Open to this living area is the fully equipped, beautiful, bright kitchen, with (4-burner gas stove with oven, refrigerator, pots, pans, dishes and cutlery) and the dining area.
The bright, spacious bathroom with shower/bathtub, washbasin and toilet offers guests plenty of space to spread out and feel comfortable. On the upper floor
is the main bedroom with a large double bed (2x2m) and an open, spacious shelf where you can store your clothes with plenty of air.
In this room, there is also enough space to set up another bed (90x180) to provide a sleeping place for a child.
For the little ones, there is also a baby cot.
A half-glazed wooden door leads you to a terrace. Enjoy from there the wonderful view of cork oaks, rockroses, eucalyptus trees, and old olive trees – typical of the Alentejo.
Another small terrace with seating is located in front of the entrance area of the house.
and this is us:
I am Evelyn Junkermann and have lived here in the Alentejo for 34 years, have come to love it, and would like to give you, through my holiday house, the opportunity to experience and feel what it is like to live here. The energy supply for my house and the holiday home is organized exclusively via a solar system (3.5 KW), which reliably provides us with electricity—thanks to a careful use of energy (power guzzlers like hairdryers therefore have to stay at home), as they are heavy consumers; sun and wind replace them.
I love nature and always have a garden, from which I am happy to offer my guests something depending on the season. Especially in summer, it is fun to harvest tomatoes, lettuce and much more fresh.
I am happy to provide you with further information and tips, also during your stay.
Dogs are welcome here for an extra charge of 7 euros per day and four-legged friend.

Peace and seclusion
Evelyn Junkermann is an uncomplicated landlady who is very concerned about the satisfaction of her customers. The holiday cottage is bright and functionally furnished. Those who love seclusion and tranquillity will definitely feel at home here. It is nice to find a place where you can only hear the rustling of the trees, the buzzing of insects, the swallows, the nightingales, etc. and the occasional cowbell. The roads are dirt and it's a bit out of town, but there's a lot you can do from there. We cycled directly along the dirt road a few kilometres further on the European footpath and got right to the sea or to the neighbouring villages and with almost no car traffic. Cercal do Alentejo is 5 km from the house and there you will find cafes, restaurants, supermarkets (small Portuguese ones) and also a small market.
