Lovely house in a small country town located in a vineyard. House is spacious, comfortable, well furnished (looks like pictures) with quiet bedrooms, great A/C, and large rooms. The kitchen is well equipped and also has washer/dryer which is a big plus. We didn't have a chance to use the pool but would be a great place for a family looking for a comfortable home to relax in the Alentejo countryside. Good spot if you want to explore vineyards all around the area.

No check in instructions, and we had to communicate via What's App (I don't speak Portuguese and they didn't speak much english, which is my fault not theirs). No instructions in English regarding the house. The location was too remote for us--1 hour drive from Evora, and 20-25 minutes to a good size grocery store (Estramoz or Elvas), and 15 minutes to a main road (or country restaurant). The town the house is located in is very small with few stores and no restaurants. We wanted to explore the area and it took too long to get to areas we wanted to see. However, all information on the site and pictures are accurate--my mistake re: deciding to stay at this location which is too remote for our requirements.

We were six staying at Aleixo's House for the weekend. It was simply a dream. We just loved its beautifully curated landscape garden, the swimming pool area, the barbecue, and the patio for al fresco meals, while the brazilian hammock was a hit with the youngest in our party. During the day, the view over the rolling hills is breathtaking and you can relax by the swimming pool, with birds chirping and the occasional sheep baaing in the vicinity. At night you can literally spend hours stargazing or take a dip in the lit swimming pool. We shared many happy family moments at Aleixo's House. The house itself, both rustic and contemporary, is a beautifully renovated, traditional Portuguese abode with thick walls, original doors and flooring, upcycled rustic furniture, modern facilities and a fully equipped kitchen. The whole experience was invigorating and we have made plans to go back.

There was nothing not to like: the whole stay was nothing short of incredible thanks to Ana, our host.
