About this property

Your home in the heart of Alentejo

The house of Paquetes located in Alto Alentejo, in the village of Terrugem - Elvas arises from the recovery idea of ​​the house of his paternal great-grandparents of the current owner. Upon his recovery, there was a concern of keeping the original design so as not to detract from the original solution. The stone walls and "dumb brick", as well as paving flags floors and wooden ceilings have been carefully preserved.
Consisting of living room, air-conditioned entrance hall with walls of "dumb brick" to view and coffered ceilings with wooden structure. If you choose to stay at home on the hottest or coldest days, you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere. Why not watch TV, read a good book, or access the Internet through the wireless network.
Heated Dining Room where the original architecture was carefully preserved. Stone and paving flags floor walls where you can not miss the traditional floor fireplace to naturally heat the house on cold winter nights. If the temperature warrants, light the fireplace and listen to the crackling of the wood. Direct door to the terrace provides a brighter environment where the sounds of nature come to you.
Air-conditioned room with a double bed where the stone walls and the ceiling with wooden structure provide a welcoming and comfortable environment ideal for a refreshing night.
