Guest comments
“We rented the cottage for three months whilst our own cottage was being restored. We were made welcome and Philip and his wife were most concerned for our comfort. Flower filled fields change from white to yellow to blue as the weeks pass. On a wet day, light the log fire and enjoy a quiet day with a good book and a bottle of local wine. For an escape from urban life this is a place to visit and probably return to again and again.”

“What wonderful days we have spent at Herdade da Maroteira. The cottage is very comfortable having everything you need to make you feel at home. Its location is absolutely perfect for exploring all parts of the Alentejo region. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. ...to this peaceful place we give the highest marks.”
