Want peace, space, enjoyment, hiking, cycling, picking olives and tasting wine? At this nature house, located in the beautiful province of Alentejo, it's all possible. Inspired by an old Portuguese shepherd's hut for two, this nature house overlooks a shallow valley. The cabin is made of wood and cork. The swimming pool with covered cabana is close by. The hut has a wooden terrace sheltered by a few silver oaks. You can always sit in the sun or shade and enjoy the beautiful starry sky at night. The nature house has a small sanitary unit with a shower and a toilet . The living area of the cabin covers 15 m². In it there is a good double bed. There is also a low cupboard with sink, fridge, kettle and induction hob, a sofa and a table with two chairs. One of the walls can be completely opened to enjoy the surrounding nature directly from your bed or chair.

Nature and surroundings

In the immediate vicinity of the estate is the beautiful reservoir Odivelas, where you can swim or practice water sports. For bird watchers and nature lovers, this area is a beautiful area. Here you can see storks and other special birds, as well as lizards and butterflies with beautiful colors. Everywhere you look the landscape is enchanting and very varied, whether it is fields full of sunflowers or wild flowers or rolling plains with cork oaks or olive trees. You can explore this area well on foot or by bicycle, but it is also enjoyable while driving. Places like Ferreira do Alentejo, Beja or Aljustrel will take you back in time, while you can also go shopping or have a good meal.

    The contact with the Dutch couple living there is very good and clear. We received a warm and friendly reception. Pleasant and cozy to talk with and very hospitable. Also before arrival the contract was pleasant. I do not have 1 negative point. Just very nice and the tiny house is also fantastic. Slept wonderfully with all the doors open in the middle of nature. The cottage is practical, cute and has only the necessary and with a little more to enjoy the environment, nature and each other! Highly recommended for pure rest and relaxation.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4/5

    The peace and space was fantastic, you have the feeling alcove you are in the cottage alone in the world. The surroundings are certainly beautiful and you sit on a lovely landscape. Absolutely in the middle of nature in the middle of nowhere. However, "nature" that is something very different than in the Netherlands, a lot of rags of land with olive trees long quiet roads between empty "wij(n)land" and hill country. Beautiful certainly, but for beautiful walks through nature we find it not quite top; too long distances and too long roads and comparatively little to see or rather little variation and few options for different paths to hit. Biking would be more of an option I think, just don't know about bike rentals, we didn't. Further little to do or experience in the area, and the villages around it (at least 20 min drive) are old, poor and in my opinion not really used to tourists (corona time). We found it fantastic and really enjoyed it!
