About this house rental
The Space
Nestled in the hills of Alcobaça, our picturesque 1.7-hectare property is a beautifully renovated farmhouse perched on a characteristic hillside with 360° views of the surrounding vineyards and nature. It features its own creek, a few rows of vineyards, an apple orchard, olive and fruit trees of all kinds, mountain views, and a small forest—all of which give you the impression of being in a remote countryside, even though most essentials and city amenities are just minutes away.
The 37-square-meter ROMANTIC CHALET is a small, standalone house and very cozy.
It features a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker, and provides all the utensils, plates, mugs, and glasses you’ll need for any occasion, as well as everything necessary to enjoy a meal with your loved one.
The bathroom is surprisingly spacious and very comfortable. It features a large shower with excellent water pressure and a sliding door to maximize space.
The bedroom has a queen-size bed (160 cm x 200 cm) and a freestanding closet. The bed features comfortable mattresses for a perfect night’s sleep. If you look out the window, you’ll see beautiful trees, vineyards, and the sunset in the evening. It also has a sliding door to maximize the space.
The living room area has a TV and a comfortable couch—perfect for snuggling up with your loved one—and offers Wi-Fi and cable TV. The patio in front of the villa is perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors or simply relaxing in the garden.
The villa has air conditioning that can cool or heat as needed. We provide bed linens and bath towels for our guests (guests are asked to bring their own beach towels for the pool).
The Quinta itself offers a wonderful blend of comfort and relaxation, with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Our pool area is located on the highest part of the property, set apart from the villas to ensure privacy. It features an outdoor shower, a wooden gazebo with a large circular table, and a grassy clearing shaded by an ancient cork tree right next to it, where you can relax in the hammocks.
We also offer a communal BBQ area with a one-meter-long grill space that will satisfy even the most discerning grill expert in any group. There’s also a traditional wood-fired pizza/bread oven and running water/sink so that you and your loved ones can prepare an outdoor meal fit for any food lover.
On the lower part of the property, there is an open field with a small creek bed, made up of stones placed hundreds of years ago, through which water flows during the winter months. Next to it, you’ll find a walnut tree that is well over a century and a half old—the perfect spot to read a book or enjoy a glass of wine. If you’re in the mood for a nice evening walk or a quiet picnic, please enjoy our private mini-forest, complete with a short loop trail and a stone picnic table along the way.
