Santiago do Escoural Cottage | "Casa da Malta" - Country Cottage - Neighbourhood of Évora (30 km)

1 Bedroom Cottage in Santiago do Escoural, Escoural

"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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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 !

Summary: We spent five wonderful nights and days, at this exceptionally hosted and well appointed holiday home. The most outstanding feature is the owners, who have over the years built a perfect rural retreat from almost nothing. Their generous nature and genuine care for their guests, shines in everything they do. Communication was excellent, by phone and in person, before and during our stay. Both Maria Emiliana and Fernando spoke English, much better than our Portuguese! We were welcomed by Fernando, who give us a fully comprehensive, personalised guide to the property. As others have said they set the highest standards of hosting both by their attention to the needs of their guests and the quality of the fixtures and fittings in the house. The bed and the bed linens were so luxurious that sleeping was a delight! The property sits on the edge of a small village but which, nonetheless, offers some shops and bars and restaurants. However, a larger town, Montemor, is just a short drive away where you’ll find two supermarkets that sell fresh foods and great wine selections too. If you’re looking for a calm and relaxing rural setting look no further. We recommend that you book this holiday home without any hesitation you won’t be disappointed.

Summary: Casa da Malta is a one bedroom private cottage with the owners living next door. The cottage was clean and well-maintained. The bed was very comfortable and the shower and toilet were modern. We arrived Saturday evening to find out that shops were closed Sunday, and that Monday was a national holiday. We had brought a few groceries with us, but were amazed that Emilia and Fernando had stocked the cottage with coffee, eggs, bread, a few fruits and vegetables, cheese, a bottle of wine, beer and chips. It was also very much appreciated that the cottage was stocked with things that guests need in small supply but are rarely provided—coffee filters, plastic wrap, tin foil, and paper towels for example. There was even a pot of fresh herbs provided! We both love to cook, so this is a dream for us! If that wasn’t enough, there was a treat left outside our door every day- something local for us to taste and learn about. The fresh pomegranates sourced from their tree was a special treat! Fernando and Emilia are warm people and were happy to answer questions and provide help, but were also very respectful of their guests privacy. They obviously enjoy meeting people from around the world, and sharing the wonders of Portugal. Thank you Fernando and Emilia for a wonderful visit!

Summary: We had a most wonderful time during our stay with Maria Emilia and Fernando. They were the most welcoming hosts and have such a beautiful, well maintained property. The cottage was as advertised and more. It was very private and extremely clean and well equipped. We arrived late afternoon on a Sunday and our hosts made sure there was food available for us in case we weren't able to shop along the way. They also brought us Portuguese treats most every morning - all of which were delicious. The village is very quaint with a few cafes, restaurants, bakeries (make sure you get there early) and small mercados. It is conveniently located to many attractions - we visited Elvas, Monsaraz, Evora and several megalithic sites including the Escoural caves. Our hosts provided lots of helpful information about places to go and things to see. We very highly recommend Casa Da Malta and would happily book the property a second time.

Summary: Over the last nine years we’ve arranged medium- and long-term rentals for nine accommodations in Europe. Our 80 day rental of this cottage in Escoural was very special in every way: comfort, roominess, furnishings, well-stocked kitchen, bathroom with shower, washing machine, wifi, setting. But far and away what made it even more special were the owners Maria Emilia and Fernando Ribeiro. Their kindness, thoughtfulness, generosity, company were well beyond a 5 on a 5-point scale. We cannot imagine more conscientious, helpful, attentive owners. Too, the location was excellent in every direction: the region rich in history, culture, nature; the area littered with megalithic sites for those interested; a hiker’s delight through villages, towns, fields, hills; the service town of Montemor 15 minutes away; the magnificent historical city of Evora 30 minutes away; Lisbon an hour and a half away. Our stay was excellent in all ways.

Summary: What a delightful rural cottage! The perfect spot to sit and read a book and relax, as well as convenient for day trips to nearby villages and historic sites. Maria Emília and Fernando were the very best hosts, welcoming and helpful in every way, from the pastries left for morning coffee to the fresh bread and goodies in the fridge, to pointing out the most scenic routes, our hosts missed nothing. We only wish we had stayed longer! If we return to Portugal this lovely cottage is where we will go. Thank-you Emília and Fernando!
