If you love nature, and enjoy peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Isabel is a wonderful host and provides great tips and suggestions for visiting the local area. Not far from the wonderful beaches and local restaurants. The accommodation is very spacious and authentic, we loved our stay there.
This is a beautiful house, with all the amenities you could need and little extras that make the stay wonderful. On the outside, you have peaceful and beautiful gardens and you are only 5 minutes drive from the beaches of Alentejo. Zambujiera itself has everything you might need from a holiday village. The hosts were super responsive and helpful. We were very happy

Hi,dear Duncan, and family
You will always be welcome,
I wish you the best; your baby is a lovely child.
Until next time, I hope.
Isabel and Madalena
Isabel and her daughter are very nice hosts and very uncomplicated. It is a really nice house and garden with comfortable space to store everything. Located in the middle of nowhere, so that you always need to go by car, but beautiful beaches are just a few car minutes away.
Hemos pasado unos días maravillosos en la casa de Isabel. Un lugar muy agradable y cómodo, además de tener una ubicación perfecta para conocer las playas del Alentejo.
Hemos disfrutado de unos días muy tranquilos y en contacto con la naturaleza. Isabel y Magdalena son encantadoras. Nos hemos sentido como en nuestra propia casa.

Schöne ruhige Unterkunft mit vielen Traumstränden in der Nähe
Wir waren zu dritt mit unseren beiden Hunden in einem der 3 Bungalows untergebracht. Die Anlage ist sehr ruhig in einem landwirtschaftlichen Gebiet gelegen. Es gibt wunderschöne Strände nur ein paar Autominuten entfernt. Wenn man ein bisschen den Küstenpfad entlangwandert, findet man noch mehr einsame Strände wo auch Hunde kein Problem sind.
Isabel und ihre Tochter waren sehr freundlich. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.

Thank you Dear Rosie. I also enjoyed seeing you around. We talked about problems about the environment, which is good to fight against. Come back whenever you can. I really enjoyed having you here.
Espaço em ambiente natural, muito calmo, com ampla liberdade concedida pelos proprietários. Casa bem equipada, com espaço exterior cuidado e amplo e adequado para receber animais.
On a passé des jours inoubliables à Casa de la Palmera, Zambujeira do Mar. La maison est comfortable, il y a tout ce qu’on a besoin, et elle est placé dans un trèn beau cadre. Les plages et les rochers du coin sont magnifiques. On gardera un grand souvenir de notre stage à l’Alentejo!

Thank you very much Henrique for your kind comment.
You and your family are the people I love having in our vacation home.
I hope you come back,
will always be very welcome.
Love, Isabel
Our family enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful cottage. Everything was clean and well maintained, the beaches and village are close by but you would struggle without a car.
The hosts were so friendly and obliging but maintained their distance to allow for peace and quiet.
After a day at the beach the outside BBQ is always a plus for cooking .. to be washed down with some local beverages !
We would recommend this property highly.

Thank you so much for your comment,
it was very rewarding for us. We will continue to keep the green garden cozy and peaceful.so that children can play safely, keep the bright white of this Alentejo, and hope to have guests as lovely as you are.
Isabel
Wir haben mit unseren drei Kindern herrliche Ferientage in dem gemütlichen Alentejo-Häuschen mit zauberhaftem Garten und großzügiger Terrasse verbracht.
Ein Auto ist unbedingt empfehlenswert - damit lassen sich jeden Tag wieder unterschiedlichste traumhafte Strände in der näheren Alentejo-Umgebung sowie auch an der Algarve erreichen.
Sehr empfehlenswert für jeden, der etwas abseits vom Touristentrubel entspannen möchte. Vielen Dank an Isabel für unvergessliche Urlaubstage!

Eine Oase der Ruhe
In einem kleinen Wäldchen, umgeben von Feldern und Wiesen, liegt dieses außerordentlich gepflegte Kleinod, mit herrlich gestaltetem Garten, großer Sonnenterrasse mit Grillplatz, geschützt vor fremden Blicken, perfekt ausgestattet in Küche und Bad, geschmackvoll Alentejo-möbliert. Die charmante und äußerst liebenswürdige Gastgeberin Isabel hat alles getan, um uns einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in ihrer herrlichen Villa zu ermöglichen. Herzlichen Dank! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Great place for summer holidays
We stayed with our two kids (12 and 15) for nearly two weeks at Isabels charming house. And we enjoyed the stay very much. Isabel and her daughter had been very nice and helpful and supported us whenever needed. The house is equipped with everything you might need and has a very good standard. The garden around the house is lovely to relax and just let the time go by. The domicile is very close to different wonderful beaches (5 to 10 minutes by car). And Zambujera do Mar is absolutely worth visiting it. Do not miss the unique Paderia in the morning (wondeful bread and buns).

We had a lovely stay at Isabelle Otero's peaceful garden villa.
We had a lovely stay at Isabelle Otero's lovely garden villa. We had been on a hectic European trip and wanted to have some peace and quiet for a few days. This is exactly what we found at Isabelle's lovely cottage. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Although it was just mid March when we were there, early flowers were already blooming and birds were chirping. The town and the beach are a short drive away and there are nice walkways nearby for an evening walk.

Für alle die Ruhe suchen
Die Ferienwohnung war gepflegt, sauber und ist sehr liebe- und geschmackvoll eingerichtet von der netten Vermieterin die nebenan wohnt. Man kann etwas abgeschieden mitten in der Natur seinen Urlaub verbringen. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Man wird auch jeden Morgen von dem sehr gut erzogenen und süßen Hund der Vermieterin begrüßt.
Im Ort in der Nähe kann man sehr gut essen gehen und es gibt sehr viele schöne Strände wobei es keineswegs überlaufen ist.
Einziges Manko war das trotz Angabe auf der Homepage kein Frühstück möglich war. Dies war ursprünglich ein Grund für unsere Buchung.
Insgesamt habe wir eine sehr schönen Urlaub dort verbracht und können die Wohnung für alle die Ruhe suchen sehr empfehlen. Man sollte jedoch besser ein Auto zur Verfügung haben.

Very nice and comfortable house with a wonderful garden around.
A perfect place to relax: quiet and pretty, but very close to the village and the coast. Several wonderful beaches nearby, great restaurants in the village. And Isabel is a lovely host!
