Peaceful Rural Location
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)

The charm of the Alentejo area is its rural simplicity. You will see shepherds with their flocks and the famous black pigs roaming freely in the fields. Acres of rolling plains are home to cork oak and olive trees. You will find peace and quiet, sun and clean air during the day and a blanket of dazzling stars shining down on you at night. Quinta das Pereiras offers you the amenities of our modern world in a setting of a bygone age. Quinta das Pereiras is a three, double, bedroom villa situated in a secluded location surrounded by tree covered hillsides, 6km from the town of Ourique. It is a modern build property and furnished to a high standard in a contemporary style. The grounds (approx 5 acres) and supporting a small lake are a haven for wildlife. It offers a 'get away from it all' experience.
