9 Holiday apartments & homes for your farm holiday in Alentejo

Booked at short notice, our choice was an absolute "golden find." Far away from the usual tourist hustle and bustle, we arrived at a place that was infinitely beautiful, quiet, dreamy, and yet very lively. In our small, typically Portuguese furnished apartment with a huge private terrace, we had a place of absolute tranquility. The entire estate is nestled between hills, covered with ancient cork oaks, where cattle and sheep with their lambs graze scattered. A magical garden - like a lush green oasis in the midst of the landscape dried out by the summer heat - provided fresh vegetables every day for both big and small hunger, - the blooming flower beds, palm trees, oleanders, and fig trees, along with the wisteria hedge, scattered throughout the vast property, were a delight. A private reservoir and a large, extremely well-maintained swimming pool also offered refreshment even in the greatest heat. Our hostess always had an open ear for questions, was exceptionally hospitable, and made an effort to make her guests' stay as pleasant as possible. We spent three weeks at the estate, and it was very difficult for us to say goodbye to this enchanted place at the end of our vacation.

we are brought to another location by Joke at the booked location, we would be the only guests, which is not so fun with kids aged 6 and 8. so we arrived at a beautifully situated farmhouse, 10 minutes on a dirt road, perfect for families who love small, quiet and nature. what a nice spot joke has it made in natural surroundings between the cork and the cows and the storks. a wealth of peace and flowers. The lookout at the pool, the lake and the hills with the storks we will not soon forget. not the cosiness of the BBQ at the pool with the other two families. the only downside was that, by the exchange, our apartment was not cleaned and really turned very nasty. Joke has not offered to clean it up and took the money for cleaning our cleaning also grateful to that we were not so tidy her. The sandwich maker was so filthy that we had only put out even that was only at the end of the week clean. I can imagine Joke at her age can not hold it in, so neat all, but that would be a shame of this beautiful place, a bit grubby because it was everywhere. there you should be able watchin through
