Luxurious Traditional Farmhouse on Alentejano Cork Farm

A 200 year old traditional Alentejano farmhouse on a 540ha working Cork Farm, with new swimming pool is available for weekends and short term lets. The farmhouse has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room with open fireplace, kitchen & a terrace with spectacular views over the surrounding plains.
Situated in beautiful countryside of cork trees, olive groves and vineyards. In the foothills of the Serra D’Ossa 20km south of Estremoz and 35km west of Evora. Ideal for sightseeing in a scenic and historic part of Portugal. Within easy reach, by motorway, of Lisbon 2hrs and Spain 1hr. The farm itself offers good opportunities for country walks, bird watching and quiet country life. Historical tours of Evora can also be arranged through a private guide.
There are a myriad of activities to enjoy on the farm. For the walkers or mountain bikers there are kilometers of footpaths around the 540 hectare farm for you to explore and for those wishing to venture further afield, the nearby peaks offer unrivalled views of the surrounding countryside. Serra d’Ossa lies at 500 metres above sea level and boasting one of the driest climates in Europe. The absence of light pollution makes this an astronomers’ paradise.
Bird watches can enjoy seeking out over 70 species of birds in the unique habitat provided by the cork forest, several of our past guests are members of the RSPB and have made lists of the birds they have seen / heard. Here is a list of a few: White Stork, Booted Eagle, Red Kite, Kestrel, Cuckoo, Tawny Owl, Hoopoe, Red-Rumped Swallow, Great Bustard, Little Bustard and Bee Eater. Visitors to the local damn include black winged stilts and the occasional avocet. Very occasionally, bustards can be seen in the lower plains.
Within a one-hour drive from the farm, you can also explore nearby towns including Evora (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Estremoz famed for its Saturday morning market, Vila Viçosa with its two royal palaces, Reguengos and even neighbouring Spain.
We offer guided walks in the cork forest.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Housekeeping is available on request.

A little piece of heaven
Book it now! Paul’s house is truly magnificent. It is the perfect combination of luxury and rustic. We liked it so much we changed our plans to tour the surrounding towns and instead spent two days lolling around the property. Paul is a tremendous host. He was kind enough to give us a small tour and explain the cork process to us and went above and beyond answering our many questions. There are lemon trees and orange trees that Paul encouraged us to enjoy which we did listening to the lambs baas and the bells around their necks. And the infinity pool! Book it now

Paradise
I really can't add any more to the rave reviews that the other lucky guests have written other than, an added delight was the chorus of bells on the sheep. Thank you Paul for being such a gracious and trusting host.

Awesome stay
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the cork farm. Paul is an excellent host and on site to help in any way if needed. Evora is 35 minutes away and an easy drive. We dined in Evora a couple of nights and the rest of the week we cooked at the house. We liked to eat outside in the patio with some great local wines. Great views too; we recommend this place highly.

Amazing property, rustic home, modern pool
As advertised but I would emphasize that this is a truly a rustic and historic property. It has a massive charm factor but it is hundreds of years old and has some of the foibles of an old home. Paul, the host was great walking us through these when we checked in and being there if anything minor happened. He also was great with recommendations and was super accommodating to our family. The pool and grounds are truly spectacular and make a sty here more than worth it. It is also a really nice and not over tourististed part of Portugal and was the perfect way to ease my family into our trip while getting adjusted to time zone changes.

We Didn't Want to Leave
We had only two nights to spend at the farmhouse, and we wished we could have stayed for a week. Or two? This is an idyllic spot, quiet, peaceful, nourishing to all of the senses. You are surrounded by olive trees and cork trees, and rolling hills of vineyards; there are farm dogs and a cat to keep you company. You can listen to the soft pealing of the sheep bells and stargaze at night. Paul is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful. He provided a short tour and explanation of cork harvesting; directed us to a nearby supermarket for groceries; and alerted us to the existence of a busy Saturday market in Estremoz, which we would have otherwise missed. For those seeking a little outdoor exercise, there is a two-mile easy hike from the farmhouse to a chapel on a nearby hill. You can follow this exertion with an excellent lunch (Paul made reservations for us) at the village restaurant, O Chana Do Bernardino. I would have been happy to eat at this restaurant every night for a week. Paul shared wines from his brother's winery -- excellent, and excellent value. All in all, I cannot recommend this spot highly enough. It would be a great location for a family vacation, with the beautiful and pristine swimming pool. We were in Portugal for three weeks, and this was by far my favorite spot. I would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Paul!

Slice of Heaven in Alentejo
We had a magical five nights in this beautiful and well cared for, historic farmhouse! Paul and his wife were ever accommodating, ready to recommend places to go, ensure we had everything we needed, and answer any questions promptly and thoughtfully. The pool is a gem, overlooking the cork tree forest where sheep roam. The house was larger than we expected based on the photos, a lovely find, and was well equipped. The grounds are idyllic and the sunsets are stunning. We were traveling with our two small children (2.5 and 4) and they loved everything about our farm stay, especially the pool and the small fish pond where they spotted frogs hopping about. Special thanks go out to Paul for literally saving the day when our mischievous 2.5 year old managed to lock himself in a lookout tower! Paul was there in a flash and all was well - yet another story we will take with us from our wonderful week in beautiful Alentejo. We will return and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to encourage anyone to make this their home base. We can't wait to come back!

Fabulous Farmhouse in Redondo
From the moment we were met by Paul and his border collie and the ginger cat we were in love with this place. Fascinating old house, well appointed with valley views and sheep in the field with their Shepard. Close by two great local restaurants and much to discover. A fabulous pool but too chilly this week sadly… next time!

Peaceful stay in the Portuguese countryside
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paul's farmhouse near Redondo. The house had everything we needed, was far enough into the countryside to provide a true glimpse of rural Portuguese life and yet close enough for day trips to several interesting nearby towns/sites. Communication with Paul was excellent. He provided several suggestions for places to visit all over the country and for restaurants in nearby towns to try that made our stay here one of the highlights of our trip. Paul offers a cork "walk" touring the surrounding countryside on foot to neighboring farms, and the nearest town that we found fascinating - so glad we did it. Only quibbles we have are relatively minor. Finding the house was a challenge. Turns out, the VRBO instructions had not been updated which resulted in some confusion finding the house but Paul was available by text/phone to help us through those issues. The beds are much more firm than we are used to but we slept just fine anyway. We also could never quite figure out how to keep the hot water flowing long enough for 2 back to back showers but we also managed none the less.

Peaceful and beautiful
I wish I could have spent more time in Redondo. The property is easy to get to. Paul was great with communicating so we could get there easily. Views are beautiful from the pool; you can see all the way out to the horizon. There are a lot of sheep on the adjacent farm. Night sky is gorgeous. Very spacious house. Within a short drive are some surrounding towns if you feel like spending the day out. there is a grocery store within 5min drive. If you like gin try the Black Pig gin which is made in the Alentejo valley and not easy to find anywhere else in Portugal. Use some lemon from the lemon trees on the property and you have yourself an amazing cocktail.
