Het huis ligt prachtig op een heuvel met adembenemend uitzicht! De tuin is fantastisch en het dorpje op loopafstand. Ook de omgeving is prachtig om in te wandelen. Het huis is niet luxe, verwacht daarvan niet teveel. Maar het is ook een oude boerderij, dat past. De open haard is heerlijk, vooral als de avonden koud zijn. Stadjes als Evora en Elvas zijn goed te bereiken vanuit hier.

We loved the place and it was what we expected, calm, quiet, beautiful sunset and sunrise. Easy drive to Evora, Estremoz and Elvas. Municipal pool was great for a swim in the afternoon. No internet so it was perfect for quality family time and stargazing was a must for my astronomer husband!

our hosts where very welcoming- they made sure we had everything we needed

Sehr schöne Lage auf einem Hügel, schöne Aussicht auf die Umgebung, ruhig und trotzdem nahe zum Ort mit guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Burg, Palast und Restaurants. Großes Haus, gut ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht, schöne Terrasse.

We had a nice stay at Monte Saude ; Victor and Manuela were absolutly kind with us, very helpful and welcoming. The view from the house is amazing, and all the environment very peaceful. Nice cities around, Evora, Estremoz...we hope to be back ! obrigada, o Pascal, Alexandra, and Leonor

O fim de semana foi fantástico, o monte está muito bem localizado e perto da vila, é um lugar muito especial com uma vista de cortar a respiração :) A casa está extremamente bem equipada e mobilada, não faltou nada. Gostava ainda de salientar a simpatia de todos, respectivamente da Ilda, Vítor e Manuela no decorrer de todo o processo do aluguer. Obrigado Bem hajam e ate uma próxima vez

Nesta passagem de ano queríamos sossego, conforto e uns dias bem passados no alentejo com amigos. Foi isso que tivemos e muito mais. Para além das excelentes condições do monte, fomos recebidos com extrema simpatia e disponibilidade (com direito a lume de chão à chegada). Na noite da passagem de ano conseguimos ver do monte os diversos fogos de artifício que estavam a ocorrer nas terras próximas da vila, foi uma experiência única. Recomendamos a todos aqueles que precisarem de fazer um pequeno retiro e descansar verdadeiramente. Adorámos!

This was the second time we stayed at the Monte: we loved it so much the first time, we wanted to stay there again this year. We had a very warm welcome, even received a little gift and no questions were left unanswered. During your stay, one can always contact the host for any questions, so that makes the stay super comfortable as well. The Monte has the most spectacular view, on one side to the village of Vila Viçosa, and on the other side, from the patio, the horizon almost reaches to Elvas. All amenities are there: the kitchen especially is well equipped and we were very happy that our dog could enjoy the house and surroundings as well!

Le logement de Patricia est très spacieux, bien aménagé et joliment décoré. Il est juste dommage que cette jolie villa et son jardin d'oliviers se trouvent si proche des carrières qui défigurent le paysage...

La casa y el entorno eran preciosos, todo estaba bien cuidado y no faltaba ningún detalle. Hemos pasado un gran fin de semana en un entorno único. Había mucha paz y tranquilidad. Repetiremos seguro. Los dueños muy amables, agradables y atentos a todo. Completamente recomendable :)

O Monte das Janelas é um espaço muito agradável para uma estadia em familia. A Ana e o João são muito prestáveis e solicitos. A casa tem óptimas condições, é espaçosa e confortável. O espaço exterior convida a usufruir dele sempre que estiver bom tempo.

Una casa fabulosa, con todo lo necesario para una perfecta estancia. Ana, su anfitriona, muy simpática y servicial. Y el entorno también fabuloso.

Ons verblijf bij Marina overtrof onze stoutste verwachtingen. Met de prima routebeschrijving die we van te voren van haar gekregen hadden, reden we er zonder problemen naar toe. We troffen een sfeervolle en knusse kleine boerderij aan en werden hartelijke welkom geheetten door onze gastvrouw. Dat we onaangekondigd ons hondje bij ons hadden was geen enkel probleem, ook zij was van harte welkom. Een sfeervolle kamer wachtte op ons met.... een hangend bed! Het bleek zeer solide (zonder beweging), gemakkelijk te betreden én met een fijn matras, want we hebben heerlijk geslapen. Marina deelt alles met je, haar zwembad, haar keuken, haar badkamer en haar erf met gezellige zitjes. We voelden totaal op ons gemak en hebben 's avonds genoten van de sterrenhemel en de maan. Wát een rust! We werden gewekt door het kraaien van de haan...Het ontbijt met toast en eitjes van Marina'a eigen kippen, was de kers op de taart. Het was natuurlijk ook heel leuk dat we onze eigen taal konden spreken. Want ook al woont Marina al 21 jaar in Portugal, zij spreekt nog vloeiend nederlands/vlaams

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez marina, c est une hote très accueillante et très disponible. Sa maison est située près d estremoz, ce qui permet d aller visiter evora, evora monte et estremoz très facilement. La chambre est spacieuse et agréable et la piscine est un vrai bonheur dans une région aussi chaude. Les enfants pourront aussi aller voir les animaux de sa ferme. Nous remercions très chaleureusement marina pour ce cadre apaisant et tranquille dans la campagne portugaise. nous avons même eu droit à un petit déjeuner avec les œufs du poulailler ! Meilleur rapport qualité prix et de loin !!!

The place is a very nice old little farm with gardens and animals around the house (I think goats and chickens, they did not enter the area around the house). Nothing appears artificial and you get the feeling to live in a genuine old Portuguese village/farm house. There is fully functional WiFi and a comfortable bed in your own room which is accessed from outside and therefore a little separated from the other rooms and more private. On top of that there is a relax area with a swimming pool only a few metres from the house. Marina was a wonderful host and very helpful and friendly during my stay. She not only speaks Portuguese, but also perfect German and I think English as well. When I came there I was late since I didn't find the place and she offered picking me up by car without hesitation. The position in the description is not exact, therefore I add a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps position: (URL HIDDEN)

The house is Amazing. Very pleasant and cozy. Great place to relax. Marina is very friendly and caring person. It was a pleasure to meet her. We will try to come back one day for sure.

Super séjour! Marina est une personne charmante!

Marina nous a reçu en toute simplicité dans son havre de paix qui a plu à toute la famille: les animaux, la piscine, la chambre confortable,le petit déjeuner, la présence de notre hôte. Merci Marina ! Stéphanie avec Philippe et Juliette (qui rêve d'avoir la même maison !)

Fue una estancia muy agradable. La casa es lo mejor para quien busca tranquilidad y desconectar de la vida en la ciudad. Todos esperamos repetir pronto.

We had a great stay at the house. Marina is a very welcoming, helpful and kind host. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. The pool, the yard and the BBQ are marvelous! The breakfast offered by Marina just completed the whole experience. Great place if you just want tranquility or visit the region. Best star gazing I have had in a while. You are surrounded by nature but you have good access to the city. We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad bij Marina. Marina is een zeer behulpzame, aardige host en goed bereikbaar per mail en telefoon. Aankomst verliep vlekkeloos. De tuin, zwembad en bbq zijn fantastisch. s'avonds heb je een prachtige sterrenhemel. De kamers zijn ruim en schoon. Geweldige plek als je tot rust wilt komen of om van hieruit de bezienswaardigheden van de omgeving te bezoeken. Het ontbijt, met biologische eieren direct uit het kippenhok maken het verblijf helemaal compleet.

O espaço é muito acolhedor e agradável. A Maria Emilia é bastante simpática, tendo estado sempre disponível para ajudar na visita, informando-nos sobre locais a visitar, restaurantes, etc ...

A Casa é acolhedora e bem equipada. A localização é óptima, perto da zona histórica a visitar. A simpatia e disponibilidade da Maria Emília.

We were lucky enough to spend an entire month at the Monteiro's country house near Vila Vicosa. Judith and Pedro, her son, made us very welcome and worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed. They don't live in the area but were always easy to get in touch with if we needed to know anything about the house or the area. Meanwhile, we were in the safe hands of Evelino who looks after the house and the cultivated land the whole year round. He made sure we had firewood, whatever fruit and vegetables were available from the land and even contacted the local creche for us to see if we could bring our daughter there. To be honest, the profile pictures did not do the place justice. The stone terrace you see is half way down the sloping land, sheltered from any wind higher up and traplots of sun (at least from mid October to mid November). From the front door you look out over an olive grove set on a rolling hill surrounded by beautiful stone walls, towards the hills that mark the border with Spain. Walking further down the drive-way you find a small orange grove with wild roses, aloe vera and aromatics here and there. We were free to pick pomegranates, tangerines and persimmon as we wished and stroll around with our baby in the shade of the trees. With the good weather we got, it was pretty idyllic. Again, the house itself was even nicer than the pictures indicated. All of the rooms are very cosy with lovely wool rugs and throws for the stone floors. The big living room with the wood stove was great for playing (we had several guests with small children) and the door gives on to the terrace. Inside was lovely and cool when it was too hot outside and we had the stoves for the evenings and early mornings when the weather began to turn. The kitchen was really well equipped and there was a lovely big dining table in an adjoining room. The beds were all nice with piles of lovely clean sheets and towels. Vila Vicosa is a pleasant and picturesque town, quiet with few tourists. The people were very friendly and it has a nice market twice a week. Nearby, you have the busier and beautiful town of Estremoz (only 15 mins drive) which has a bigger selection of shops and restaurants. Overall, Vila Vicosa was a good base for exploring the area. The only possible drawback with the Monte could be if it is too hot earlier in the year. But Vila Vicosa has public outdoor pools in that case (check when they close for the year) To sum up: we would highly recommend the house and dealing with Pedro and Judite to anyone. Staying here is a chance to experience the fine people, food and countryside of the Alentejo while enjoying the comforts of a cosy and tastefully furnished house.

We spent two wonderful days at the Quinta. The we had our own room with private bathroom. The common areas were nice and pleasant with plenty of space for everyone...our breakfasts in the shade in the morning were a great way to start the day. The pool was superb and clean. The only negative point (which did not bother us, but may bother others) is that hour room was very close to the road and the few cars that drove by were a quite loud, especially when compared to the absolute silence of the surroundings. This may be a problem for people that really want silence.

The owner is very friendly. We have felt very well. Everything very clean. The place is nice and there some interesting places to visit near the house despite a little far from Evora. Very recommendable for pets. They have a dog and a cat. The only not very good thing is that it's a little cold but the owner made up a nice fire for us but the bedroom had some humidity.

Lovely house in a very calm and peaceful farm. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Will return for sure!

Very nice location and surroundings. Cosy, very tasteful and comfortable, pleasant hosts and atmosphere. While on roadtrip and next stop already planned, it made me want to stay longer either come back. Very recommendable!
