Living in an ancient small village in Alentejo

This is a ground-floor house dating from 1717 (as it can be seen written on the old chimney over the front door).
It is in family since many generations and Then Were born here.
The house was rebuilt in 2016 but the first structure was preserved, so it looks like a rural typical village house of the nineteenth century, but is equiped with modern commodities, such as, microwaves, TV, WI-FI, linen, dishes, cups , kitchen utilities, etc. We call your attention to the magnificent antique vaults of the rooms.
Our house is situated in the center of the village, near restaurants, supermarket, cafes, cinema, theater, etc.
We enter the house through the hall the walls of Which are covered with antique tiles and a marble floor worked.
There are 2 bedrooms and the Possibility of a third one, occupying one of the rooms que has only some pieces of furniture and where the sofa for guests can be rapidly installed. The beds are old pieces of handwork made in cherry wood and mogahony. In each bedroom you have a sofa que Enables reading or relaxing.
There is one bathroom with a bath, one sitting room with TV (145 channels) and WI-FI., A dining room, an equiped kitchen, two pantries (a big one and another smaller).
In an inner yard you hav and fouled a small barbecue, an ancient cascade made of shells (see picture) where there are some red fish together with a modern glass table for picnics. It is a perfect place for a drink at the end of the day.
This house was built acording to the traditional building art. The walls are very dick (there are pieces of furniture inside Them (at the dining room, for instance) so it is never too hot or too cold inside the house.
We dont have air conditioned because it is not Necessary, so we do not want to Contribute to spoil the planet. The walls are dick and we use the traditional heating devices and refreshing.
Our photos exactly correspondence to reality. We, ourselves, have produced Them ..
Our place may be interesting for couples, families with children or someone who wants to write a book alone or live an adventure inside the heart of countryside.
Pets are welcome under some conditions
The countryside is one hundred meters away. However you can use public swimming pools, the public library with free Wi-Fi, the Cultural Centre with theater and an eco-way.

A cold stay in the apartment
The apartment is spacious, and well decorated in authentic style. Shopping is relatively easy, and kerbside parking in front of the apartment is convenient. The kitchen is modern and quite well equipped and when we needed other items the owner quickly arranged for their delivery. The WiFi is effective and there is a wide range of TV channels in different languages. There is a pleasant little courtyard at the back with a table and chairs, although we had to wipe them clean before they could be used. However, as presently equipped, it is not recommended as a winter let. Being renovated from an old house, and measuring 200 sq metres, we did not expect central heating. However, there was only one old small heater in the apartment, barely able to keep one room warm at a time. The beautifully appointed dining room could not be heated by it at all as it had no electric socket. There was a fireplace in the sitting room but nothing to inform guests as to whether it was a working or decorative fireplace. Nor was any wood or instrument available, such as a fire guard, to indicate it was capable of being used. We therefore did not wish to risk using it. We made several requests to the owner for an additional heater. She appeared to ignore our first one, then she claimed there was another heater. However, after two thorough searches, we could not find them. We were also puzzled why her assistant, who appears to live locally, did not come to the property and show us where it was. The owner then told us that if we had wanted a warm apartment, we could have booked one of her other more expensive air-conditioned properties advertised on the HomeAway website. We thought this a rather irrelevant statement as air conditioning is generally designed to keep a property cool in the heat of summer and not warm in the cold of winter. When our scheduled stay was over, we sent a message to the owner informing her that we had vacated the property and left it in good order. She then replied still claiming there was another heater in the property and that she would allow us to stay an additional one or two nights for free, in view of the trouble this incident had caused us! We had, however, already left to catch our return flight. It is intrinsically a nice apartment but we could not recommend it as a winter let unless the heating arrangements, and advice to guests as to what they are, were to be greatly improved.

Sauber, komfortabel, typ. Port. Altstadthaus
Wir waren hier bei 26 Grad in einer stets angenehm kühlen Wohnung im Erdgeschoss. Ganz im alten portugiesischem Stil mit Innenhof. Parken vor der Haustür. 2 Supermärkte in der Nähe. Küche und Bad tip top.
