About this property
Monte dos Freixos | Estremoz - Alentejo Wine Route
On the beautiful Alentejo plain, Monte dos Freixos is a peaceful, restful and safe place for a relaxing family or friends holiday. This space was designed as a vacation and weekend getaway, providing an atmosphere of tranquility and charm in a rural and relaxed atmosphere. The decoration combines local elements and the comfort of modern times, resulting in a harmonious effect between a rustic and contemporary style.
The property has a private pool, barbecue, cable TV, free wi-fi and parking within the property.
It has a lounge with living and dining area, fully equipped independent kitchen. The kitchen and dining room both have access to an outdoor terrace with a barbecue and a large table for alfresco dining. Several shady, grassy areas around the pool invite you to relax on a sun lounger shaded by a tree. On the front terrace, in the shade of the trellis, two inviting hammocks. In addition to the two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom, we also offer an extra single bed and a travel cot.
In summer, enjoy the silence and the singing of birds and fall asleep on the terrace gazing at the stars. On cold winter nights, it is good to live around a large and typical Alentejo fireplace.
Monte dos Freixos is just 5 km from Estremoz, in an area surrounded by vineyards. The quiet village stretches across the Alentejo plain to "Monte". The location is ideal for walking or cycling. The location is strategic for visiting the most beautiful region of Alentejo - Evora, Vila Viçosa, Monsaraz, and the Great Alqueva Lake, Elvas, Crato, Marvao and Castelo de Vide. From here you also start looking for the numerous wineries and restaurants that offer the best wine and gastronomy of the Alentejo.

Casa espaçosa, decorada com esmero, bem iluminada e plenamente equipada. Muito confortável no inverno. A lareira funciona bem, assim como os aquecimentos.
O único aspecto menos positivo é a irregularidade da pressão da água nos duches, um problema partilhado em toda a aldeia. Comunicação com o proprietário e check-in excelentes. Altamente recomendada.
Très bon séjour au Portugal. Maison très bien agencée et très pratique. Propriétaires très serviables et attentionnés.

Great home, kitchen, pool and environment
We stayed for three night and our goal was to relax, cook, enjoy the environment and go on walks with our dog,
The home environment was terrific with an excellent equipped kitchen and many zones outside and inside to relax. The design of the house is beautiful and warm. The environment is great for walks, bike ride - mountain or hybrid bikes -and trip to hill side walled towns. Estremoz, 6 km away has excellent food shopping

Feels like home
Viajo profissionalmente há 10 anos e são poucos os lugares no mundo em que me sinto tão bem como no meu lar. O Monte dos Freixos deixa-nos esta agradável memória de nos termos sentido tão à vontade, confortáveis e sem saudades das comodidades das nossas casas próprias. Porque tinha tudo o que precisávamos para o dia a dia, dormimos sempre bem, com tudo muito limpo e organizado, além de ser muito acolhedora e estar decorada com excelente gosto. É uma casa real, com um exterior delicioso. O Sr. Carlos proporcionou-nos tudo de forma fácil e experiente, a quem agradecemos toda a atenção e amabilidade, além do mimo que nos deixaram à chegada. Foi tudo perfeito!

Vibrant, friendly village. Lovely house
Four of us and a dog have just spent a fortnight relaxing in this lovely house, full of charm. The pool was a good size and the water perfect ( the pool was maintained very discreetly- the man must have made visits about 6am!). The kitchen was extremely well-equipped, the TV worked well and had news channels in both Portuguese and English, the bathrooms were both lovely and the beds comfortable. My favourite spot was however under the vines, in one of the two hammocks, keeping cool on those hot, Alentejo afternoons. Every morning my friend and I went walking through the cork forests surrounding the pretty village of São Lourenço and would then stop for a coffee in the cafe just 200 metres or so from the house. We also ate here twice and the food was excellent. Much better than we would have imagined. The locals were friendly and helpful and the town of Estremoz only 5k away. I have no hesitations in recommending this holiday home. You will love it.

Wonderful, nicely decorated, quiet villa
We had a wonderful, relaxing week at the villa. Carlos the owner was very responsive to our emails, and Isilda and her husband were super helpful on site for the couple of things we needed at the beginning. The villa is tastefully decorated, with a well-equipped kitchen. There isn’t much to do in the immediate area, other than Evora (40 km away), which is definitely worth a visit, but the pool was nice and the weather was warm, so we were happy not to leave the villa much - that’s what we needed. The grape vines on the front porch pergola were in season, so fun to pick and eat. The neighbors were a bit closer than we were expecting, but the layout of the property makes it very private, and we didn’t hear anything but sheep baa-ing! Our only marginal complaint would be that we found the shower pressure and water temperature both a bit low. We would highly recommend this villa if you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet stay.

Escapadinha Perfeita
O Monte dos Freixos surpreendeu superou as expectativas : começando pelo fácil e afável contacto com os proprietários e pela excelente recepção !
A casa é espaçosa, acolhedora e reúne todas as condições necessárias. Os quartos são lindíssimos e confortáveis, e nota-se a especial atenção ao detalhe.
A cozinha é muito bem equipada, com tudo aquilo necessário para o nosso conforto. Até as casas de banho merecem destaque, não só pela sua decoração, como também pelo conforto. A piscina e o jardim são para lá de maravilhosos, e foram aproveitados a 100%.
Certamente voltarei para repetir a experiência, e recomendo-o vivamente!

Ruhe pur!
Wer es im Urlaub ruhig mag, kommt hier auf seine Kosten. Wir wollten es so. Und so haben wir es genossen, lange am Pool zu liegen, zu lesen und gemeinsam zu kochen. Apropos Kochen - die Küche wie schließlich auch das gesamt Haus sind sehr geschmackvoll eingericht. Lob an die Vermieterin.
Als wir das erste Mal in die Einfahrt fuhren, ahnten wir nicht, dass das von vorne unscheinbar wirkende Haus innen so nett zurecht gemacht ist. Wir schätzten zunehmend die Kleinigkeiten. Die Hängematten, den "Sonnenschirm" aus Weinreben, den Grill. Alle zwei Tage kam früh am Morgen jemand, der den Pool reinigte. Auf Wunsch reinigt zudem jemand nach Wochenfrist das Haus von innen.
In der Umgebung gibt nicht so viel zu "entdecken". Die Schönheit der Region liegt im Detail: Die geschwungenen Hügel hinter dem liebevoll wirkenden Dorf, mit zurückhaltenden und zugleich freundlichen Menschen, die wir auch auf dem Markt des netten, nahegelegenen Städtens Estremz trafen, die Schafherden auf den Feldern. Und dann der Wein. Er ist wirklich exzellent. Eine Rundfahrt zu den Weingütern der Umgebung empfiehlt sich. Wir haben uns zwei Wochen lang wohl gefühlt. Danke Elsa.

Villa bien équipée, confortable et bonne situation au coeur de l'Alentejo
Nous avons passé 6 jours dans cette agréable villa, située à moins de 10 minutes d'Estremoz. Une situation geographique ideale qui permet de rejoindre les principaux points d'intérêt à moins d' une heure de route.
Accueil tres agréable de la part des propriétaires qui prennent le temps de bien expliquer le fonctionnement de la maison et les conseils de visites.
La villa, joliment décorée, est bien équipée, et dispose de toutes les commodités bien utiles pour un sejour de plusieurs jours.

Estadia perfeita
O Monte dos Freixos é um daqueles lugares em que nos sentimos bem acolhidos e em casa. Nota-se que tudo foi pensado com carinho e bom gosto. Tudo impecavelmente limpo e cuidado. Fomos muito bem recebidos e percebia-se a preocupação com o nosso bem estar.
Estar à lareira é o máximo!... e toda a casa é muito ampla e muito gira. Ficou a faltar podermos usufruir da piscina e do espaço exterior, mas como estivemos no inverno isso foi impossível. Fica para a próxima pois de certeza que voltaremos na primavera ou no verão.

Charming Home - Lovely Region - Delightful Stay
We truly enjoyed our visit at Monte Freixos. The home is located in a small town quite close to Estramoz. We had spent two weeks traveling in other parts of Portugal and coming to the Estramoz area was a wonderful way to relax and truly enjoy the Alentejo region at the end of our stay. The home was beautiful, nicely decorated, comfortable and, very well appointed. It has a private backyard which we used and enjoyed. We shopped at the local market (Estramoz) and cooked every evening. We found the kitchen, BBQ area and dining area to have everything we would need. Elsa and Carlos were terrific hosts. They welcomed us and were always available and offered all the instructions we needed to get acclimated when we arrived. They also gave us additional pointers to vineyards, restaurants and towns to find local pottery (Redondo) and other things. I would return and would definitely recommend Monte Freixos to our friends and family.

Great place to stay!!
We loved the house. It was spacy, clean. You have a beautiful view on the countryside. Everything you need, and more is available. The kitchen is big with plenty of equipment. For us the WIFI was important. Well it worked beyond expectation. There is not much to do in the area. But who cares. Sit down, read a book and drink a glass of the local wine. Stroll around in that little town and drink coffee or crap a meal at Zézedas. More local is impossible. We did it every evening and became a bit local ourselves. Order your bread for the next morning here too. Estremoz is a nice little town at 5 km. The best supermarket is the first you see from the house.
We will come back!!

La maison idéale pour des vacances de rêve, au calme et en famille ...
La semaine est bien trop courte !!! Elsa et Carlos ont aménagé et décoré cette maison avec leur coeur. Tout est parfait, rien ne manque. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les apéritifs et repas pris sur la terrasse, à l'arrière, face au soleil couchant. La piscine a été apprécié de tous et nous n'avons pas hésité à faire plouf à tout heure...L' Alentejo est une région fabuleuse : des oliviers et des chênes lièges à perte de vue, des sites magnifiques, une cuisine gourmande et des gens authentiques. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir. Si vous souhaitez des vacances reposantes, apaisantes, charmantes, mais aussi culturelles, n'hésitez pas, arrêtez vous au MONTE DOS FREIXOS.

Merci pour les aimables mots.
L’Alentejo est une région très spéciale de paysages spectaculaires, gens sympathiques, bonne cuisine et grands vins. L’objectif du « Monte dos Freixos » c’est de fournir des séjours où les gents peuvent apprécier tout cela dans une atmosphère de confort et de tranquillité, de se sentir dans sa propre maison, et avec l’envie de revenir.

Lovely property in a friendly village.
We enjoyed a tranquil and relaxing 4 weeks at this property. It had everything we needed and was beautifully renovated. Elsa answered all our requests promptly and was very kind to help us organise horse riding lessons for our daughter (thank you). Estromez is a delightful town, very picturesque and with lots of great restaurants. Local wines are fabulous and great location for discovering the Alentejo. The local restaurant/café/bar/shop in the village (2 minutes walk from the house) is very good. Lots of supermarkets in Estromez (our favourite was Continente) and the Saturday morning market is essential. We loved this place!

Malheureusement, les pluies abondantes ne nous a pas permis de profiter de l'équipement extérieur. Avec cette mauvaise température, nous avons grandement apprécié les chauffages d'appoint.

Usufruimos da piscina, do barbecue e da cozinha equipada e claro está, dos três quartos confortáveis e duas casas de banho.
