Book a Terena Cottage

"A lovely, cosy Alentejo style cottage situated in a rural area surrounded by vineyards, cork and olive trees. Everything was as described in the listing and the local property manager was lovely and made the check-in and check-out process seamless. A nice welcome basket was awaiting us of local wine, cheese and bread. Sadly, the view of the fields from the back patio was blocked by overgrown vegetation during our stay. The lemon tree was full of fruit and we were encouraged to pick them to make lemonade. (Which we did! ) The people in town were very friendly, as well."

"Amazing location in a really uniques Saturday market town. Dining at the castle is elegant and more options in town. "

"The property is well located in the center of the village and is well mantained."

"Staff welcoming, Room comfortable and clean, Beautiful site with awesome view, breakfast included. We've appreciated our stay."

"This is an amazing place. We had trouble getting to our room as no one at reception. Then the key didn’t work. It’s like staying in a different century but with very very good beds "

"Gorgeous scenery. Beautiful property. "

"Lovely place in a lovely town. The staff is super helpful. Big room, nicely appointed. We’d stay here again."

"The host Miguel was extremely kind, professional, helpful and responsive to our group of 6 adults. We stayed at this dream property for 13 nights and would have stayed longer because it had everything we wanted, and was located in a perfect spot for visiting historical sites, and for shopping for our meal items as well as for handcrafts. Amenities were comprehensive; secure parking for our two vehicles was just outside the door; townspeople were friendly; outside sounds were limited to sheep, mules, migrating birds, mourning doves, and the occasional dog. We visited many locations during the day or stayed at the property to take advantage of the outdoor pool, reading and eating areas, and in the evenings had pool tournaments and chess competitions, or played board games (which we had brought with us). We went out for dinner on only two occasions to good restaurants within 20 minutes drive. Our only complaints were that the mattresses were a little thin, lighting could be improved (especially over the food preparation area) and the breakers had to be reset regularly in the evenings because they overloaded. So the electrical system should perhaps be upgraded. We were extremely happy with all aspects of our family vacation in rural Portugal and highly recommend this property. Thank you Miguel!!!"

"Beautiful location. We knew we were staying in a castle that's been retrofitted so we didn't have high expectations for the modern amenities but were pleasantly surprised. The room was quiet, comfortable and the AC worked perfectly. Amazing view out of the window in our Goa suite, and delicious food just around the corner. Would definitely return"
