Villa Casanova - Secluded pet-friendly villa for 12 people in Alentejo with pool
Location is key, and this is what makes this villa extra special, together with the interiors that reflect the colors of the beach and Alentejo plains.
Vila Casanova offers a wonderful secluded space for reconnection as it is inserted in a unique natural environment, in a place that seems far from everything but still close to the beach and historic cities like Lisbon and Évora.
No wonder that super-affluent people have chosen this extraordinarily beautiful spot, which happens to sit in the middle of a 40-mile stretch of nearly untouched Atlantic Ocean beaches, and at the edge of hundreds of square miles of cork oak fields, vineyards, and rice fields. Guided horse riding tours will be a unique way to explore picturesque landscapes, providing thrilling horseback adventures through rolling hills, dense forests, and even along the breathtaking coastline.
Traditionally, the houses in this region are made out of rammed earth construction methods called taipa (mud walls). It is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator. Air conditioning is not essential, but fans can be provided if necessary.
Guests will be delighted with the comfortable bedrooms complete with bright bedding, wooden ceilings, and vibrant craftwork that adorn the walls.

This place is amazing
This place is amazing. The space is huge and there is access to two houses and a pool giving familieslarge groups lots of space. The house is set up for hosting large groups with cooking facilities, bbqs and lots of outdoors dining space including use of a vegetable garden. Lots of choice in stunning beaches nearby ~20 mins drive. We surfed and visited several nice beach clubs just outside Melides and further south. Highly recommend this place!

Everything was great
Everything was great. The House is beautiful and feels like being on a ranch. The kitchen is well equipped and we had some good barbecues in the outside area which was really nice. The pool could use some umbrellas to provide shadows to be able to enjoy the pool area more. But despite this, we were overall very happy to be there and can only recommend, especially if you’re looking to spend time with a big familygroup of friends it’s the perfect place to be.

Absolutely amazing stay. Villa is clean and very well stocked. Kitchen is highly functional and had everything we needed. Linens and bathrooms were spotless. We had both properties and comfortably slept 13 people aged 8 to 84. Outdoor space is wonderful for family eating. Pool is not huge but comfortable for four or five people at once. Lots of loungers to relax in. Location is very quiet and quite remote. Amazing stars and sunsets! Vegetable gardens on the property, the owner was very generous and we had tomatoes, onions, zucchini from the ground to the table. Two mins from highway makes it super convenient. Supermarkets 10mins away. Incredible beaches 20/30 mins away. Drive from Lisbon was easy and about an hour and twenty mins. Property managers were amazing, responsive, kind and helpful with advice on places to go (thanks Carlos and Rafael!!) Owner is lovely and brought us homemade cake one night. We loved our stay and would be delighted to return. Many thanks from all of us.

Ficámos nesta casa com um grupo grande de 12 pessoas, incluindo 8 crianças, e a experiência não podia ter sido melhor. A casa é simplesmente incrível — espaçosa, muito bem equipada e impecavelmente limpa. As crianças adoraram os espaços amplos e seguros, e os adultos puderam realmente relaxar e desfrutar. A localização é excelente, tranquila e ao mesmo tempo próxima de tudo o que precisámos. A comunicação com os anfitriões foi sempre rápida, simpática e eficiente. Sentimo-nos verdadeiramente bem-vindos. Recomendo vivamente esta propriedade a qualquer grupo ou família que queira criar memórias especiais. Esperamos voltar em breve!

Simpatia, acolhimento e qualidade
A Villa Casanova superou todas as expectativas que tínhamos: o alojamento é ainda mais bonito ao vivo, bastante limpo e organizado, com tudo o que é preciso. O bar foi ponto de encontro para toda a família e o ping-pong e matrecos agradaram a miúdos e graúdos. A padeira passa todos os dias de manhã com pão fresquinho, bolos e pão com chouriço incrível.
Não podemos deixar de agradecer à proprietária, Dona Anabela, pela sua simpatia e amabilidade - esteve sempre disponível para nos ajudar durante a nossa estadia e deu-nos recomendações excelentes. Nunca fomos tão bem recebidos, é de louvar o seu empenho e vontade de acolher bem todos os hóspedes, procurando sempre melhorar. Tivemos muito gosto em passar um pouco do nosso tempo à conversa com ela e o seu marido sobre as suas e as nossas vivências. Foram certamente umas férias memoráveis.

Um oásis para descansar e usufruir da calma
A decoração é acolhedora, o espaço é muito agradável e bonito, tudo muito confortável. O telheiro é a cereja no topo do bolo, passámos lá muito tempo à conversa e a cozinhar e comer.
Os banhos tinham pouca pressão e era difícil controlar a temperatura em alguns deles.

Surpreendente o espaço
Surpreendente o espaço. Fantástico para um fim de semana prolongado maravilhoso com a família. Todos fizeram o que quiseram e gostam caminhadas, corridas, piscina que deu excelentes brincadeiras. O espaço é ótimo mas a minha família é maravilhosa o que tornou um fim de semana inesquecível num espaço deveras agradável. Um abraço e até um dia.

About the host
Hosted by Allure Villas
Passionate about landscapes, new cultures, and adventures, we started to rent our own villa in 2012 to finance family trips.
Because we didn’t find any companies that provided a complete service on the Lisbon coast, we took care of all the details for our guests to have the best satisfaction.
The idea attracted some neighbors and friends who wanted to be part of our new project. Thus, we built our local network of hosts, maintenance, cleaning, and laundry providers.
We proudly and with great enthusiasm founded Allure Villas thanks to the owners’ involvement, our satisfied guests’ feedback, and word of mouth.
Today, we operate more than 200 units along the beautiful Portuguese shorelines. We keep selecting unique properties that cover all accommodation types.
Our villas are handpicked and negotiated based on exclusive contracts, subsequently inspected and photographed by our local teams, seeking to maintain a high standard according to our guests’ needs and expectations.

Location is key and this is what makes this villa extra special, together with the interiors that reflect the colours of the beach and Alentejo plains.
