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

Excellent holiday in Casa Laranjeira

Maria & Johnny North Hampshire
Review Submitted: November 1, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We had a wonderful holiday in Casa Laranjeira, our third time staying in this delightful cottage. The property is spotlessly clean and well maintained as well as very spacious. The huge covered terrace is a perfect place to relax and escape the sun at midday whilst still being able to look out over the beautiful landscape and the pool.

We love staying in this property because it is such a break from the hustle and bustle of 2 full-time careers and you can truly relax and tune out while you are there. It really does feel as if time stands still for a few days at least.

This time we explored the town some more. At first glance it does not appear to offer much but unlike UK shops, they don't have big shop fronts so you need to go in and have a look. We discovered a fantastic beauty salon where a 1.5 hr pedicure cost just 12.50 Euros and a manicure was only 6.50 Euros for a very professional, high quality result.

We really like the fact you are tucked away from the Algrave but can get there in 50 minutes if you want or it's about 50-60 minutes away from the Atlantic coast. We highly recommend going to Vila Nova de Milafontes, a beautiful small town by the sea wih a fantastic beach and river.

Our 2-year old loved the children's pool and feeding the animals. There were several different varieties of pig, chickens, geese, ducks, guinea fowl and peacocks.

We recommend trying out the local restaurants which all offer very tasty meals though there is nothing like sitting on your own terrace witha bottle of wine and watching the sun go down too whilst barbecuing! The owners have roadtested restaurants and local attractions and can point to lots of different things to do though.

We will be back, there is something really special about Casa Laranjeira.

Monte da Quinta---- a summer idyll

Hallski St. Albans,Herts, England
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We came as a family of three generations and occupied both properties. We all found the cottages extremely well-equipped and very comfortable. The site is superb with lovely views over the pools and beyond into rolling countryside and yet you are within easy walking distance of Castro Verde with its individual small shops , as well as the large, well-stocked supermarkets.( better reached by car) We all relished the tranquillity and sense of space. The two pools were ideal for children and adults alike. The little ones loved feeding the chickens and piglets. Nigel and Michaela were always on hand with advice on any query and were unfailingly pleasant and helpful.Our whole family voted it a most successful holiday.
