About this property

Vale de Camelos Country House, Alentejo, Portugal.

Welcome to the introspective beauty of Baixo Alentejo.

Vale de Camelos it's a country house located on the most iconic rural region of Portugal - the "Golden Plains" of Baixo Alentejo. If you're looking for a place to rest, look no further. The house is more than 200 years old, built in the typical Alentejo style, with white walls, blue basement and orange tile roof. It's completely rebuilt to meet contemporary needs, while keeping it's original style. The house is located at the end of the tiny village (typically a "monte") of Vale de Camelos.

The house has a typical decoration that contributes to a cozy environment you can enjoy during spring, summer, autumn or winter.

It has a typical settlement around a patio, facing the garden and the swimming pool, giving you total privacy. It has a large garden and lots of spots to rest or read. During summer, a nice swimming pool has a wonderful view of the surrounding plains and plenty of shadows around to lay down a chair or a towel. You can also visit the orchard and, by request, you can collect vegetables and fruit to cook a nice meal. You can also cook using the outdoor grill.

Inside, it has a spacious living room with fireplace, for the rare rainy winter days. A perfect environment to rest, eat, sleep, read or play board games. The kitchen is also large and includes a comfortable eating area. It has 3 master bedrooms, 1 double room and two bath room, one with shower and the other with tub/shower combination.

You have plenty of options for short or long walks or bike rides, across the fields of wheat and vineyards. You can also take an after lunch/dinner walk around the place and meet the neighbours. Locals are very friendly but will not disturb your privacy in any way.

The region has a really nice weather. It hardly rains, thus the sun is normally present.

Although it's located deep in the country side, it's just 20 minutes away from district capital Beja, or typical villages of Mértola and Serpa. You can travel to these locations by car, along very nice roads, across the golden plains of Castro Verde or the green hills of Mértola. There are plenty of towns with medieval castles you can visit and+ other tourist attractions that will contribute to an unforgettable stay.

Baixo Alentejo has a great reputation as an excellent place to rest, travel and utterly famous for it's gastronomy. Ultimately, there isn't an average restaurant around, all of them - and there are plenty - offer high quality tradicional food meals.

Bom descanso
O Sr. Nuno, muito prestável, boa comunicação com o proprietário, e sempre com bons conselhos de sítios a visitar. Bons colchões para um bom descanso. O único contratempo da estadia foram as formigas e moscas, mas de resto, um bom local para descansar. Recomendo ainda visita à Praia Fluvial de 5 Reis e prova de vinhos da herdade situada ao lado da propriedade.

Erholung pur
Wir haben Anfang August mit vier Erwachsenen und drei Kindern (13, 11 und 14 Jahre) eine tolle Woche in dem Ferienhaus verbracht. Es war wunderbar. Die Ruhe pur. Wir haben den Pool genossen. Es gibt viele schattige Pätze auf dem Grundstück. Nuno hat immer sehr schnell auf unsere Anfragen reagiert. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll und persönlich eingerichtet. Alles, was wir brauchten, war vorhanden. Zum Einkaufen braucht man rund 25 Min. nach Beja. Im Nachbardorf gibt es allerdings eine Bäckerei. Dort kriegt man leckeres Brot und Kuchen. Wir können das Haus empfehlen. Es haben dort entspannte Tage im Alentejo verbracht. Luis

Ideal para descansar
Monte Típico Alentejano ideal para férias em família e amigos. Os miúdos adoraram até porque por vezes entravam cabrinhas na propriedade o que foi uma experiência nova. Alentejo profundo, um hino ao descanso e eliminação do stress :-)

About the host

Hosted by Nuno Caetano

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Nuno, and I work as a graphic designer. My wife Joana is a fashion designer. We both welcome you to our family house.

Why they chose this property

Horta de Vale de Camelos was my great grand parents farm, at the heart of Portuguese agricultural region - Baixo Alentejo.

It was an agricultural center, and I enjoyed it very much when I was a kid, helping taking care of dairy animals and performing small duties around. My parents and I turned it into a vacation house for the family.

We bring lots of friends to the place, every time an opportunity occurs. Friends always say that they feel they're in a special place, each time they come around. In fact, the property has an unique environment and it's the perfect place to relax, recharge and get in peace with nature and mankind.

What makes this property unique

Horta de Vale de Camelos has a unique location, with a wonderful view over the plains of wheat. It's built around a garden and swimming pool, offering total privacy. It has enormous potencial for those who seek for some days of open air vacations, or even for those who just want to spend some time emerged in the quietness of the countryside.
