My house is situated in a traditional Alentejo village, only two kilometres from the ocean, with easy access to the most beautiful beaches of the Altantic Coast. I choose this location because the house is on a plaza, in front of an heritage windmill. The view is open to the fields and the dunes. Behind the house is a view of the mountains toward the interior of the country. The house is decorated with original artworks of a painter who once lived there.
Village people are sympathetic and if one wish to rest, one can find everything in the village without driving anywhere: cafes, small grocery stores, excellent restaurants, etc. For more action, in less than 15 minutes, you are in Vila Nova de Milfontes, a summer resort town featuring, boutiques, restaurants, night life and also many beautiful beaches, or Odemira, a white small city in the hills.
From the house, you can access the Rota Vicentina within minutes, a walking trail of several hundreds of kilometres along the sea.
Weather is great: warm and comfortable, never too hot thanks to the wind from the sea. NIghts are cooler and comfortable.
In short, this is our little paradise!
