Casa do Alqueva Openspace C/piscina e Espaço Exterior

Close to sailing, windsurfing, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Alqueva Lake Observatory or the 17-minute drive to Monsaraz Castle (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink in the hot tub of this 2476-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a garden. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
