About this house rental

At the edge of the idyllic wine village of Vila de Frades lies the holiday home overlooking the bell tower of Vidigueira, where the old sea-bell of Vasco da Gama, the Count of Vidigeira, still rings. Sao Cucufate, an ancient Roman archaeological site invites you to visit. Let yourself be pampered by the sun on the roof terrace or enjoy the shade on the terrace under the fig tree and do not miss a tasting of the excellent, local wine in one of the Adegas.

Stroll through the narrow streets of Vila de Frades and hike through the adjacent Serra de Mendro and the vineyards.

When you enter the house, you will find the bedroom on the right. The room on the left can be used as a bedroom as well as a second living room. The second door on the right leads to the bathroom with shower, washing machine and window to the garden.

A wooden staircase leads to the roof terrace and other rooms for free use.

Straight on to the living room with open kitchen and open fireplace, two sofas and another small bedroom with double bed, separated by a curtain.

From the living room you can enter the garden. It is big with flowers, yucca palm trees, fig trees, orange trees, lemon trees, olive trees and vines. The terrace is ideal for breakfast or barbecues. Enjoy the day under the fig tree on a brick corner seat.

In summer you can enjoy the large outdoor swimming pool in Vidigueira (1.5 km) with a cafe and sunbathing area,

The Atlantic west coast with beautiful beaches is about 100 km away. Make sure you make a day trip and let the evening in Vila de Frades end.

On hot days, a boat trip on the Alqueva dam offers. Start is in Amieira Marina (about 30 km), then dive into the medieval Reguengos de Monsaraz.

Very nice is also a day excursion starting with a stroll through Serpa, then a refreshing day at praia fluvial in Mina de Sao Domingos. Then a visit to the Moorish city of Mertola and a leisurely dinner in the Monte Pedral in Cuba (special tip :-))

then you come to dinner, good wine and nice people ... Vila de Frades!

Our third stay at this property and the magical authenticity of the property still persists. The area is quiet with everything to hand plus with the added benefit of the beautiful Alentajo countryside. The hose is superb with everything you need and wonderful gardens.

Fantastic original and authentic house in a lovely Alentajo village with easy access to all areas. Two hours from Faro airport. The house is spacious and has everything you need for a pleasant stay with ample room and is much bigger than the pictures show. Local town a 15 minute walk and Lidl a 10 minute drive. The village itself is quiet but has a small market and restaurant and a couple of bars. There is also a post office selling local wines and port. Can’t recommend it enough.

Estadia

Infelizmente, a limpeza deixou muito a desejar. Havia aranhas e teias por todo o lado. Acabamos por lavar a loiça toda, as colchas das camas, bem como todo o espaço. As camas não tinham lençol de baixo, apenas a cobertura do colchão, que nos foi informado que, como a anfitriã é Alemã, aquilo é considerado lençol de baixo. Os lençóis de cima era capas de edredão, sem qualquer edredão. Os guarda-fatos estavam todos cheios de coisas dos anfitriões, e não havia espaço para pendurar as nossas roupas. O quintal, apesar de não constar na oferta, estava de tal maneira degradado, que resumia todo o espaço arrendado. Não existia qualquer sistema de segurança, e os cabos de TV e Internet estavam todos expostos e esticados ao máximo no quarto interior. Uma pena, porque a casa tem potencial mas sinceramente, não pode ser arrendada de qualquer maneira. Muita disponibilidade por parte da D.Ana Maria. O mesmo não posso dizer da D.Fátima, que nem chegamos a conhecer.

Uma casa muito agradável e típica alentejana. Tem espaço para grupos grandes e consegue ser facilmente aproveitada quer no verão, graças ao jardim e localização perto do rio Guadiana, mas também no inverno, onde a lareira aberta é muito acolhedora.

Eine kleine Insel des Glücks

Eine kleine Insel des Glücks

Mein Mann und ich haben uns die zwei Wochen im Frühling sehr wohlgefühlt. Besonders gefallen hat uns der wunderschöne Garten (in den wir uns öfter mal gern beamen würden) und das authentische am Gasthäuschen. Das Haus war für uns ausreichend sauber, wenn man auch einiges Ecken anmerkt, dass man es nicht immer schafft jede Ecke zu putzen. Was wohl aber auch normal ist. Daran stört sich aber nur wer da wirklich empfindlich ist. In der Küche haben wir alles wirklich erforderliche gefunden um uns die zwei Wochen zu bekochen. Ein wenig gestört hat uns, dass bis auf einen Topf alles Töpfe und Pfannen mit zerkratzten Beschichtungen waren. Aber das ist sicher auch den vielen wechselnden Gästen zu verdanken bei denen nicht jede/r darauf achtet. Die beiden Portugiesinnen und auch die deutsche Gastgeberin sind darauf bedacht, dass alles zur Zufriedenheit klappt und stehen bei Fragen gerne zur Verfügung. Die beiden Orte Vila de Frades und Vidiguiera haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Menschen waren auffallend freundlich und offen zu uns Urlaubsgästen in so kleinen Orten. Es war ein Urlaub der für uns Großstädter die Zeit ein wenig langsamer laufen ließ. Für Besucher die das suchen ist dieser Ort nur zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank an die drei Damen :-)

A lovely surprise - we'll be back!

A lovely surprise - we'll be back!

This charming home from home in the little village of Villa de Frades was just what we wanted and needed. The photos on the web hardly do it justice - there was so much space, the roof terrace was great and the garden and patio was just perfect for relaxing in private. Everything you could imagine needing was there! This was a great base for exploring Alentejo. We had hired a car and went all over - to magical hilltop villages, cork woods, vineyards and olive groves and the wonderful open spaces of the plains. What we hadn't expected was all of the wonderful spring flowers, the fantastic wild life and range of birds - we had many wonderful walks. We would highly recommend this property. It was a wonderful introduction to Portugal and being spring meant that even the 'scotsman' could cope with the temperatures!

Nice house, perfect for a family. The terrace is great for evenings, or even lunch with the fig tree shadow. Could be even better if the swimming was in use! Ana Maria is really welcoming, and even if we don't speak Portuguese, she welcomed is very well. Thanks
