Holiday rentals with a kayak in Alto Alentejo

we had a great rest from a long move. The view from the kitchen window to the green hills and meadows is simply charming, it is especially pleasant to open the window and admire the reclining scenery for morning coffee.

The place was idyllic and peaceful. Very suitable for two adults and two dogs. The fence surrounds a beautiful yard and the apartment was wonderfully personal. The fireplace burned trees every night because the evenings were cool and it brought a lovely vibe. Carlos was super when he brought us more trees when we ran out of firewood. The photos matched the apartment and yard well. It was a good value.

We had an amazing time here! So wonderful setting and peaceful. All the amenities we could imagine. Exactly what we were looking for when we would stay near Coimbra for one of us to work there and the rest of the family have a great time. We went around and discovered the surroundings and found both good restaurant and shops a short drive away. We bathed in the biological pool and also had fun with tadpoles, lizards and other things you could see. The river at your fingertips was also a lovely place to be at. We picked grapefruits from the trees and eggs from the hens. Helena was an amazing host and thought of us right away when there was a power outage in all of Portugal. We felt safe and cared for. One of the beds is very hard but it was possible to solve ok with some cushions. We would be glad to come back!

Very nice and well-equipped house for 9 people Pleasant living room Outdoor BBQ/Pizza Oven & Large Table with Great River View Radeau (floating dock) with sun loungers, table, fridge to rest by the river and kayak and paddle board available Very easy to communicate with Carla A great family stay in a beautiful place

Very charming and charismatic. The decoration was peculiar and interesting. The house was as described. Interesting sleeping arrangements, that badge the house fun.

We loved the stay. It is possible to have peace and fun at the same time through contact with nature, whether through the beautiful landscape or even the dam. André is extremely attentive and Montezinho has everything a guest needs to enjoy their stay. All the items in the house are extremely tasteful, which allowed us to feel at home.

Our group of 13 had an incredible time at this lakeside house! The accommodations were super comfortable, providing ample space for all of us. The highlight was definitely the fantastic outdoor area, perfect for group gatherings and relaxation. Nuno, the host, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. We took advantage of the boat rental for water sports like skiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing, and it was an absolute blast. Nuno's expertise and equipment made it all possible, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a lakeside retreat with a fantastic host and plenty of fun activities, this is the place to be. Our group had a fantastic time, and we can't wait to come back for more adventures by the lake!

It was a magnificent stay. Artur is a great host and a friend. The house is very onita and comfortable, with excellent quality beds and fresh rooms, even in the middle of the Alentejo summer. It's a great place for a large family or group of friends. You live around the pool, in the shade, or in the sun, overlooking a plain out of sight. We visited Mértola and the Alqueva dam easily less than an hour by car. Would highly recommend. Thank you Artur!

This is a great space in a real out-of-the-way part of Portugal. Tired of big city tourism? Try this property. Tiny villages dot the hills and you get an old world sense of Portugal here. The pool is the real star of the property here (as are Eric's three dogs, one of which lounged with us each morning) as it overlooks he view of the river. We did use the kayaks as well. It is hard to get to them down a very steep hill with ladders and a bit of minor repelling. Not for those with a bad knee or hip. Which gets me to, accessing the apartments, particularly the lower unit, is tricky. Steep, slanting and uneven steps that can be a little slippery. Perhaps not for the elderly. Hint for improvement would be to upgrade the furnishings and kitchenware. The knives couldn't cut an orange.
