Alentejo

We feature both rural and coastal properties with pools in the Alentejo, a region that not only boasts a stunning coastline but also huge inland prairie landscapes reminiscent of the African plains and no less beautiful.

And inland from the beaches, this southern province of Portugal offers plenty to explore. The Alentejo is dotted with sleepy whitewashed villages and medieval castle towns steeped in history and ancient traditions, whilst the UNESCO World Heritage Sites at Évora and Elvas are a must-visit.

The Alentejo is also a gourmet and wine lovers paradise, producing some of the most celebrated wines in Portugal. Many of the wineries offer visits and tastings, and some include a restaurant where outstanding local produce is paired with award-winning wines.
