About this property

"Casa da Malta" - Country Cottage - Neighbourhood of Évora (30 km)

"Casa da Malta" is a local designation, to a building apart from the main one, where temporary workers were lodged (the ones named “malteses”).
Therefore, we named "casa da malta" this house, rebuilt in 2003 from old ruins, close to the owners house but completely independent.
Private home, tipicaly of the Alentejo region – ground floor, long rectangle, door and windows exposed to east. Inserted in a 23,500 sqm property, located in a rural environment, at the arrival at Escoural village (department of Montemor-o-Novo), on the southern slope of the Monfurado Hills. Gives the kind of confort which is supposed to find in a traditional rural house with thick old whitewhashed walls and small windows (protection against external lower and higher temperatures), where you can look the stars, footwalking, buy warm bread,...
Obs: A cradle is available, and a sofa bed allows, in exceptional cases, lodging two extra people.

Great quiet getaway
The property was exactly as described with many homey touches, including tasty treats left outside our door in the morning. It is a great area to explore with day trips and has good local restaurants. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Fabulous location
The property is a beautiful traditional style cottage next to the owner’s property & surrounded by gardens & fields. There are plenty of private nooks to find to sit in to either enjoy the sun or to find some shade. The house itself is perfect, very comfortable with everything you need. Maria & Fernando were excellent hosts & provided a much appreciated welcome selection of bread, milk, cheese, fruit & wine for our first evening. Maria spoiled us with treats of pastries turning up on the doorstep whenever they were there. The cottage is on the edge of the village which is delightful & there are several decent supermarkets in the nearby town of Montemor. The location is perfect for visits to Evora & the pretty towns around & about all with their own castles. The castle at Montemor is one of the best although the guide books seem to dismiss the town. I can’t fault our stay, absolutely fantastic.

Delightful hosts
A great experience !! An old farm building converted to a comfortable and quaint guest house. We felt like we were transported back to Old Portugal. Our hosts were amazing and very attentive. A well stocked fridge and pantry awaited us along with a welcome bottle of wine. Each morning they delivered freshly baked pastries to enjoy with our coffee. We felt like we were in a rural setting yet it was only a few minute walk to some nice local restaurants. A truly unique experience !

About the host

Couple (ex-civil servant of the Environment General Directorate + consultant hydraulics ing.), living along the year at Cascais (Lisbon region), in principle we will be there for your arrival and leaving.

Why they chose this property

Rural atmosphere, although on the edge of the village.

What makes this property unique

At the entry of the village and beside a road, we are not isolated and we go walking to take a coffee or so. However, the configuration of the buildings ("your" house and a small backyard protected from glances from outside) creates a little private street out of the traffic noise.
Certificate "Quality" (AHRESP - Associação da Hotelaria, Restauração e Similares de Portugal) awarded in March 2018.
