Alentejo rentals with pool

The property was beautiful, quiet and stress free. Antonio came up to greet us after we had settled in to drop off some coffee pods ,he had left a wonderful bottle of wine and fresh pastries for us.He is a great communicator, always guick to get back to us, and had supplied multiple suggestions for places to eat,places to see and where to shop. We used his place as a base to travel the area. Lots to see from old castles, Roman ruins, to a mine tour and of course the beautiful coastal areas. A walk around the hectares of his beautiful property was a nice way to spend the morning. Also the daily visits from his chickens was enjoyable.We would love to come back.Obrigado Antonio

Can’t think of any way to improve upon it. Wonderful hosts, well equipped, great location, immaculate. Would love to return. Hosts go out of their way to make your stay memorable

What a privilege and delight to start my 55th road cycling season as a Canadian in Europe. In 26 European vacations for multi week independent cycling vacations the Star of the Hills…..Sue and Patrick’s remarkable rural Sao Domingos villa was an outstanding 5 star experience…true to the name of the home. Situated 2 km south of Sao Domingos on 40 acres of classic Alentejo scenery you will be treated to a very high standard home, incredibly spacious with spectacular views. Fit and finish of the home, amenities, phenomenal level of communication and care make this a rarity in the Iberian Peninsula. It would be in the top 5% of the 150+ bookings I have done over the 25 years in Europe vacations to support our cycling forays. Proximity to delightful rural museums in Sao Domingos and Abela, significant Roman ruins in Santiago do Cacem and phenomenal natural beaches at Almograve make this a most compelling property. The high standards and care are evident the minute you engage with Sue and Patrick. Far from the tourist hordes of the Algarve or the supposed must see “attractions” of Lisboa and Porto lies what arguably is the heart and soul of Portugal……Alentejo. Many Portuguese folks would agree. The Alentejo has it all and Estrela do Cerro…the star of the hills exemplifies what we love about independent self planned travel in Europe.

The city of Evora is stunning, and our stay was enhanced greatly by this great property. My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The property was spotless, and well appointed. The host, Luisa, was lovely and provided us with great advice on things to do during our stay. Highly recommend this property.

The property was exactly as described with many homey touches, including tasty treats left outside our door in the morning. It is a great area to explore with day trips and has good local restaurants. Thanks for a lovely stay.
