Nature house in Areal

Alentejo, Portugal

Detached | Isolated | Cottage
  • 8 persons
  • 3 bedrooms
  • Pets not allowed

If you’re looking for a cosy home to unplug and enjoy the silence of nature, this is the place for you. This typical nature house is set in a paradise vale in the heart of Alentejo landscape of rolling fields dotted with cork trees, yet only 15 mins drive from the crisp Atlantic beaches. Set about 800m from Campilhas dam it is quiet and isolated and only accessible by (a well-kept) dirt track. Rebuilt in the tradicional style of the area in clay and stone to keep out the summer heat, this is a simple rural stand-alone house. Electricity is supplied by solar panels and water comes by gravity from a deposit up the hill. The house is happy and colourful and simply fitting and furnished. You have everything you need to sleep up to 8 people very comfortably. Indoor and outdoor meals under the pergola or back terrace canopy with bbq are easy and fun.

Nature and surroundings

The landscapes of this part of Alentejo are almost African in their feel, cork oaks and other forest interspersed with very dry golden in the Summer and rich deep grazing and oat fields in the spring. Being so close to the dam and the ocean the evenings mercifully cool off and a variety of birds, insects and small animals go about their business.Last year we even had a fox pop round for dinner every time we lit the bbq! The local café Boavista, in Sonega (8mins drive), has very good internet an mobile reception and is happy to host you and sell you all the bread, local biologic production delecacies and any other bits and pieces you may have forgotten! Cercal is your nearest town only 10mins drive away. Porto Corvo, Vila Nova Mil Fontes, Ilha Pessegueiro, Aivados and Malhão are the closest beaches (15 to 30 mins away) tucked behind protected dunes with their own flora and bird life, perfect setting for fabulous swimming, surfing and sunsets.
