A Casa de Estremoz is the ideal private holiday home for those wishing to sample authentic Portugal from the comfort of a beautiful interior and stunning surroundings. The property is situated in an extremely tranquil location, yet is still just a five-minute drive from the market town of Estremoz and only 1.5 hours from the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.

The holiday home has been the proud possession of Portuguese owners, Maria and Joao (who live in Lisbon), for three generations. It features typical Alentejo architecture, including extremely thick walls that keep the house pleasantly cool during summer, beautiful clean lines and four chimneys, two servicing the kitchen fireplaces and two providing extra daylight in the bathrooms. The owners have thoughtfully restored the traditional property, retaining a careful balance between old and new. Sleek concrete floors, Scandinavian lighting and designer chairs contrast stylishly with items from local markets and bespoke furniture fashioned by a designer friend.
