Description
I'm a self-employed woman with two lovely Havanese dogs living near historical Santarém, Portugal. I have a self-contained annex with a kitchen and bathroom for accommodation in return for the help. The quiet countryside is beautiful, the sunsets are stunning, and there is a pool to cool off in. Alcanhoes is filled with with vineyards Alcanhões is a traditional Portuguese village with agricultural roots. Vine cultivation and wine production are very important locally — the Adega Cooperativa de Alcanhões plays a key role in the area’s wine economy.  It also holds local events like the Festa do Vinho (Wine Festival), where residents and visitors celebrate the year’s wine production. Alcanhões is part of the greater Santarém area, so the city of Santarém — with its historic center, cafés, and larger services — is just a short drive away.

House of the gardens.
This location is centrally located to 24 other parishes and towns that make up Santarém.
