Alentejo- Hidden Portugal
Review Submitted: June 5, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
Inspired by the BBC Cork- Forest in a Bottle we choose Ann & Tim's cottage for a walking, cycling and exploring holiday of this area, we were rewarded with a perfect holiday. Walks to the Guardiana, cycle rides to Sao Eulalia, Vial Viciosa, birding at the embalse, visits to Marvao, Monsaraz, Evora & Estremoz all spectacular and stunning places without hordes of people.
Not to mention Elvas & the Peninsular War Cemetery rememberance day.
Very friendly people and amazing wildlife, we fell in love with Hoopoes and Bee Eaters as well as all the raptors, it was like Botswana with only the big game missing.
A bonus was Brittany Ferries sailing from Portsmaouth this year.
Jenny & Richard
Owner's Response: We thoroughly enjoyed having Jenny and Richard here, whose activity in cycling and walking were inspiring and impressive. They took full advantage of the spring weather to see places, plants and birds.
