Come and Discover Alentejo, Portugal   1 comment

How would you like to holiday in a rustic log cabin or a luxury caravan on a small working farm in the rural province of Alentejo? Halfway between Ourique and Odemira, the feminine shape of Aldeia das Amoreiras’ hills will seduce you. Our place is just an hour’s drive from the famous Algarve and from the stunning west coast resort of Vila Nova de Milfontes.

A car is essential for this holidays but they are cheap to rent. The area is excellent for walking, painting or photography as it is excellent unspoilt countryside.

The log cabin is situated on the top of a small hill giving stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It comprises of a fully equipped kitchen, a ground floor bedroom, a loft double double bedroom serviced by a staircase. There is a lounge area with a double bed-settee,  TV and log burning stove (wood is provided free). The Bathroom is a separate building and boasts all mod cons. Nearby is a smaller log cabin which can be used as an extra bedroom (children’s) or for evening use whilst using the large BBQ area.

The Luxury Caravan   1 comment

The Caravan is closer from the fertile camp side and also thirty seconds away from the swimming pool.

There is shadow, outdoor cleaning place, bathroom inside but also next to the caravan, and a large green area where you can camp either with caravan or tent.

The caravan is a luxuary six berth but for extra comfort four are recommended.

Please refer to the write up for the log cabin for what is included and what we have to offer extra to enhance your experience with us!!
