Monte da Figueira Brava

Close to ecotours, cycling, and more, this pet-friendly villa brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 21-minute drive to Municipal Archaeology Museum Aljustrel or the 22-minute drive to Nossa Senhora do Castelo Chapel (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 3552-sq-ft villa, which also features a deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis and billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and stereo.

As you settle into this 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And thanks to the washer and dryer, you'll even be able to travel light.
