Castro Verde is located in the lower central region of Alentejo. To the north are the historic towns of Beja, Evora and Monsaraz, Mertola and Lisbon; all beautiful towns and steeped in history. To the south, the Algarve with coastal towns such as Faro, Largos, Portimao, Loule, Albufeira, and Tavira. To the west, lies the stunningly, unspoilt beaches, estuaries and towns along the Atlantic Coast line. To the east, the beautiful countryside along the Spanish border. Whites Lands - Although it is characterised by vast and sunny plains, with apparently endless wheat-fields, the Alentejo always offers new landscapes. The plains of Castro Verde, full of thousands of white flowers during spring, are excellent for walks by foot or by bicycle. Storks, bustards, hawks and vultures prefer the solitude of the golden plains. Some streams are ideal for frogs, salamanders and tortoises, whilst Wild Boar prefer the oak plantations

perfect place to relax

Sarah & Mourad Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
we had a great time at this perfect place. The property is very clean, well-maintained. The owner provides very detailed information regarding the activities, attractions and restaurants around the farm house. The house is very charming. The swimming pool is lovely (the owner cleans the pool every morning). The landscape is beautiful. When you open the door in your bedroom, the bright big moon is right on the sky, moonlight shines on your bed, which is romantic. You can stay in the house or beside the pool to relax, enjoy the hot sunshine; or you can drive to the south coast to visit big cities and beach. The farm house is located a great location since you can drive to the beach or other cities within 2 hours.

The village is beautiful. People in the village are extremely friendly and nice. We would like to highly recommend this charming holiday place to our friends.

The best ingredients for a perfect holiday

Ronald & Marie Corien The Hague, The Netherlands
Review Submitted: May 11, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Monte da Quinta, located in the beautiful Alentejo region, offers the ideal combination of ingredients for a perfect holiday.

We loved our cottage Casa Oliviera with the spacious shady terrace, the large rooms with seperate bathrooms (incl the perfect shower), the swimmingpool including the small pool where our three-year old girl wanted to play all day and the wonderful view over the Alentejo hills! Also the presence of the working farm was really nice: it meant feeding the ducks, pigs and chickens every morning and seeing the sheep passing by every day accompanied by a real shepherd. Not something we see every day in the city...Besides the animals of the farm, we also enjoyed the company of owls, swallows, storks and other beautiful birds.

This, combined with the relaxed and friendly presence of the owners Michaela and Nigel, the weatherconditions, the Portugese lifestyle (food, wine) and the beautiful surroundings of the Alentejo, are for us the ingredients for a perfect holiday.

And, needless to say, we hope to return soon!

Highly recommended holiday rental

PJC001 London, England
Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We spent a wonderful week at Casa Oliveira. The property was just as described - well equipped, comfortable, and very clean. The owners are very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home immediately. We loved the beauty and tranquility of the location - and our daughter loved the pool, feeding the pigs and chickens, and collecting fresh eggs, for breakfast on the terrace! We hope to be back!

Fantastic Stay At Monte da Quinta, Alentejo

Dawn & Paul Shillingstone, Dorset, England
Review Submitted: June 19, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We stayed at Monte da Quinta twice in 2008, the first time we stayed we were looking for land in Alentejo and the second time was to finalise our purchase. Michaela and Nigel were the most welcoming hosts you could ever wish for. The farm is so peaceful and the accommodation clean and well maintained. Castro Verde is a delightful town, a short walk from Monte da Quinta, with good restaurants and shopping facilities. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again without question.
