Summary: We had a wonderful stay. Every detail that we could think of was taken care of and the host was very responsive and helpful. The house is beautifully kept, with plenty to keep my family and I busy (pool, board games, extensive book selections). We would absolutely recommend this property looking for a peaceful getaway.

Summary: Exactly what it says on the tin. A very well-equipped and maintained villa with massive indoor space leading via several large pairs of French windows onto good outdoor terraces and a fine pool. Good kitchen, good bedrooms and plumbing, huge dining and sitting areas. A broad selection of reading materials in English (mostly) was a bonus. Well maintained outdoor areas, with fencing to keep cattle and sheep at bay on their side. All mod cons, reasonable wifi (if it matters) and a good 4G signal. A quiet area, with excellent rural views and fine sunsets, and handy enough for Montemor and other small towns, or Evora for a more metropolitan experience. Very handy for the railway to Lisbon too, which is just 5 minutes' drive away in the next village. Escoural has the basics too. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and recommend it heartily. Slightly tight for parking (manoevring rather) if more than one car involved, but certainly not a problem. Electric gates on drive provide good security - but that can't really be an issue by any stretch of the imagination! - and the on-site couple who live in a house at the bottom of the driveway and look after the place on a day-to-day basis are very charming. September weather still warm (so pool in use daily), with temps between low twenties and mid thirties C by day. Some impressive short storms on some evenings after the heat had built up, but soon passed after giving a free display of nature's raw power! A first-class villa for a fine break in a beautiful unspoilt part of Portugal.

Summary: This was our second time staying in this home and it is a wonderful property that is very well maintained and great for a family. Every detail has been thought out beforehand in anticipation of visitors. Our kids remembered the house from our last visit and have already asked to come back again. Lawrence is a great and communicative host, and we hope we can come back for a third time!

Summary: This property, so lovingly kept by Lawrence, is elegant, beautifully equipped and very restful. The grounds and the pool are tidy and tended with care by Vera and Franclim, who live down the hill. Lawrence is the most efficient, responsive and well-prepared host I have ever encountered. I would come back again without hesitation.

Summary: The second time, this time in the summer, did not disappoint and even managed to exceed expectations. The lovely, well thought out, and very clean house, swimming pool and grounds are the best. All the thoughtful details such as the coal bags ready by the grill, or the bread/cheese/butter/wine are a wonderful welcome. Even the ubiquitous flies don't come near you or your food inside and outside the house due to pest control they do. Lawrence is a very honest and attentive host. I'm sure this was only the second of many stays.

Summary: Very quiet edge of village location (car essential). Very spacious and well maintained throughout. Excellent kitchen/dining facilities, well equipped with modern and attractive rustic features. Very useful to have the utility room as well. All bedrooms excellent, with lovely fresh crisp linen. There is also a toilet and shower equipped for those with mobility issues. The lounge is spacious with three sofas and a TV hidden in a cupboard. If the TV is a necessity, being in the cupboard only works for those sitting at one end of the lounge ( can’t be seen due to the cupboard). Excellent outdoor facilities with a deep pool. Beware, the steep motor path from the secure gates up to the property is just a bit tricky , but we got used to it and managed without any problems. If you are looking for a getaway destination, this is perfect. Some really interesting places of historical significance within reasonable driving distance, and we found a fantastic beachside restaurant, if you care for a drive to the coast. A visit to Evoura and Vila Vicoca are not to be missed. Overall, an excellent experience. Recommended venue.

Summary: What an amazing stay we had at this villa! In the middle of rural Portugal - very peaceful indeed! The pool was gorgeous, the sunsets were remarkable. The house was beautifully clean when we arrived. The chilled beers in the fridge were a very welcomed touch. Although a very sleepy looking village near-by, the little shop provided fresh bread every morning which we pre-ordered the day before and the drive to the beach was very doable for the one day we fancied venturing out of the villa. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone wishing to get away from the madness and find some inner peace. or for those who love a bbq with a stunning sunset! Brilliant host.

Summary: The house stands at the top of a hill and is surrounded by olive trees, cork oaks, all manners of shrubs and flowers and beautiful sheep and cows. You can hear birdsong everywhere and the air is alive with swallows and jays and hoopoos and the beautiful azure winged magpies which you find only in Iberia. The house is open plan, full of light, well ventilated and has all amenities. The kitchen is large and well equipped so you can cook all kinds of dishes without the usual rental house frustration of bad knives, no robot, too small pots, etc... and you have a whole choice of places to stay outside catching the morning or evening sun or the shadow of the olive tree. All in all it is a great place to stay which I would warmly recommend.
