Description
How nice that you are interested in Portugal. It is a beautiful country in which we, Margriet and Wiro, love to live. Every day we enjoy the quietness, the friendly people in our village and the simple live. We want to share this with you and give you a warm welcome at our place so that you can also tell us about your choice for Portugal.
We live in Alentejo since 2008 and every day we love it more and more. In 2006 we bought this land to establish a nice and peaceful place to our guests. It's nice to see people enjoy this authentic region.

What else ...
We situated in a very quiet part of Portugal. There is hardly no public transport in the neighbourhood. The small village Aldeia do Rouquenho, is about 2 km away and has a nice small supermercado and a bus-stop. Ferreira do Alentejo is about 10 km away and from there you can get a bus to, for instance, Lisbon.
You have to realise that we are not a very big tourist company. Only 3 houses for rent guaranty a quit rural environment. No busy restaurant thing just in summer once a week we will fire our stone-oven for pizza-night.

After three weeks of really hard work in our olive-yard, David and Susan had to go to their next host-address. I was very disappointed, we had such a good time together.
David and Susan thought, so they told me later, pruning olive trees was cutting small branches with a pruning shear, but that’s for old retired… read more
