In the hinterland of southern Portugal, in the Alentejo region, stands the elegant villa Monte das Cangalhas. The Alentejo is still a quite unknown area. The beauty of this region lies in the continuous rolling plains, that remind of Africa... a few giraffes won’t seem to be out of place. Cork oaks, olive trees, and scattered towns of whitewashed houses dominate the stunning landscape together with numerous remnants of a bygone age. For refreshment and water fun there is the largest artificial lake in Europe, Grande Lago do Alqueva.

Monte das Cangalhas is a graceful authentic property, renovated to modern standards and tastefully furnished. The roomy living with spacious lounge area near the fireplace and TV opens onto a wonderful covered terrace. Here you can gather to enjoy your summer meals while overlooking the pool and the surrounding plains. Guests who prefer to eat inside, can have dinner at the long dining table in the well-equipped kitchen. The four bedrooms all feature a comfortable box-spring bed and private bathroom. Attractive details include the colorful (wall) clothes, framed pictures of Alentejo and their own olive oil. The marvelous swimming pool (12x5m) with (non-heated) jacuzzi provides the real ‘infinity feel’.

This place is ideal for people who love tranquility, a good book, fine food and wines as well as like exploring an authentic part of sunny Portugal, that is rapidly developing because of the arrival of young professionals from Lisbon and Porto.

Accommodation is super - beautiful surroundings, but for those looking for peace and quiet and who like to cook at home. Restaurants are a bit further away.
