Secluded cottage equipped to a high standard with private swimming pool and spectacular open views tucked away in the tranquil Alentejo countryside. 3 large bedrooms (1 double with en-suite, 1 double and 1 twin sharing a separate bathroom). Newly-built in the Alentejo style, the cottage is fully-fitted with open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area and with direct access to a spacious covered outdoor terrace and BBQ for alfresco living. TV and free WiFi. Open and airy for summer living. Wood burner and underfloor heating for cosy winter nights. In an elevated yet private hilltop position nestled within the cork oaks, the cottage overlooks the rolling Alentejo countryside with unlimited access to country trails for walking and mountain bike rides. Nature at its most tranquil – with the sound of the crickets chirping, birds singing and sheep bells in the distance. Enjoy the spectacular Alentejo sunsets with a sundowner on the terrace on a warm summer night. Take a midnight stroll under the clear light of a full Alentejo moon, or gaze in awe at the brilliance of a million stars on a moonless night. Within walking distance to the small village of São Domingos – with all basic amenities such as cafés, bar/restaurant, mini-market, bakery and pharmacy. Approximately 1 ½ hours by car from either of the international airports of Lisbon or Faro. Within easy reach of the spectacular beaches and seaside villages of the Costa Vicetina, and the historic towns of Santiago do Cacém, Beja and Évora. Walking and mountain bike trails to local villages with cafés and restaurants offering traditional Alentejo hospitality and gastronomy.
