Do not stay here, we left after one hour.

I was torn about renting this place, past reviews sounded great. The most recent review was not so good. On entry the property smelled musty and moldy. There were dead flies on the floor and live flies inside the home. The sheets were old and worn. I had an allergic reaction from the moldy air and we left after an hour. When I contacted the owner I requested a cancellation of our second and third nights. The response was there had been a lot of rain lately and they were not responsible for my medical conditions. They refused our request for any refund. There are beautiful places to stay in Evora and Monsaraz and the Alentejo Region is spectacular.

We were not informed that the guests needed special conditions. A house that is closed has always the possibility of must smell, inofensible for normal guests but dangerous for some illnesses. We understand Tamara situation but we have guests in the same house now who have no problem with odors.Flies are usual at the countryside. We have to put an aparatus on. The aparatus is in every room of the house. It was a pontual situation, we agree, but it cannot be seen as usual. Guests sometimes complain to be refunded as their plans changed so we never know. I am really sorry about Tamara illness

Not as advertised in a castle. No WiFi at the time due to storm? Rooms dusty. Linens were worn.

Disappointed by the castle adventure which is misrepresented in the description since the apartment is modern. Linens were old. Dusty rooms and smoke smell throughout. Big kitchen and great modern shower!

Magnifique vacance

Je recommande fortement cette maison. C'est très propre, agréable à vivre et dans un joli village qui est très calme. Tout est conforme aux photos et descriptions de l'annonce. J'espère pouvoir y revenir un jour et je vais recommander la maison à tous mes amis.

peu mieux faire

C'est calme et spacieux. Redondo est une ville agréable à visiter. Voila pour les points positifs. Côté équipement c'est une autre histoire. Un lave-vaisselle défectueux, signalé le jour même de notre arrivée. Malgré de multiples échanges de mails et appel téléphonique où la propriétaire ose faire des allusions désagréables quant à notre incapacité à faire fonctionner cet équipement. Mais il est vrai que l'accueil par une personne bien peu avenante ne parlant que le portugais annonçait déjà la couleur. C'est sûr la prochaine fois nous irons ailleurs.

Lovely stay near castle

We stayed in Maria's house for 5 days. It is beautiful house and well equipped. there is loads of light and beautiful courtyard overlooking the old tower from the castle . Peaceful and quiet we enjoyed sitting outside -all you can hear there is the birds and the bells from the church tower. It is located opposite Enoteca where you can try the best wines from the region. The supermarket is 5 min down the hill and about 4 bars and restaurants within 2 minutes walk. Maria welcomed us warmly and was very helpful. Would definitely stay there again. Missing the place already

Location calme et typique dans l'Alentejo

Appartement calme, spacieux, très bien équipé. Petite ville agréable; beaucoup de bon restaurants, supermarché à proximité. Les gens ne parlent souvent que portugais, mais celà ajoute au charme de l'endroit...on s'y sent vraiment coupés du monde !! Idéal pour des vacances reposantes et pour s'imprégner de l'ambiance de l'Alentejo

Dormir avec vue sur le rempart du château...

Entrez dans l'enceinte du château, au numéro 20 vous attend votre petite maison de vacances.Petite, pas vraiment! c'est une maison au haut plafond et toute en longueur. Deux terrasses intérieures, dont une superbe avec vue sur une muraille du château médiéval.Vous pourrez bronzer tranquilles, à moins que la chaleur accablante ne vous en empêche : 40 degrés c'est difficile. Vous finirez peut-être par une douche froide à jets massants: le top!Maison propre et bien équipée( manque peut-être des chaises longues pour s'allonger à l'ombre et lire bien installés). Le village est agréable, tranquille , gens sympas.On vous conseille de visiter le musée du vin: il est très bien scénographié et de rendre visite au potier juste à côté de la maison!Juste en sortant du château, sur la gauche il y a un très bon restaurant. L'accueil est très agréable et le patron vous parlera en français avec plaisir! La location est très bien située pour faire de nombreuses escapades: Beja, Evora, Elvas, Monsaraz,... et faire la tournée des caves. C'est la région du vin par excellence!

Perfecto para visitar el Alentejo/Excelente relación calidad-precio

La casa es grande (unos 150 metros cuadrados) y está muy bien y perfectamente equipada. Está situada en una calle que hay dentro de las murallas del antiguo castillo pero se veía que la habían renovado totalmente hace poco. Tiene un patio interior y una terraza de buen tamaño para tomar el sol, comer y disfrutar de las estrellas. Es perfecta para visitar los pueblos con encanto del Alentejo: Evora, Beja, Monsaraz, Mora,Marvao, Elvas, Villaviciosa, Juromenha..... Tiene dos supermercados cerca. El pueblo es muy tranquilo, como todo los del Alentejo, aunque se ve que todavía no están acostumbrados a tener mucho turismo. Para tomar algo: el bar del Centro Cultural, en la parte baja del pueblo. El dueño es un chico joven encantador. La zona llena de viñedos y olivos. El precio de la casa: excelente relación calidad/precio.

prima woning

De woning zelf voldeed prima,en was leuk ingericht. De foto,s laten maar 1 binnenplaatsje zien,maar het mooiste en grootste niet,en dit is juist heel leuk v.w de omliggende kasteelmuren en toren. Het straatje waarin de woning ligt,is alleen van 2 kanten in te rijden door hele oude stadspoorten,ligt dus echt in de oude kern. Het huis zal ,s zomers heerlijk koel zijn,maar in maart was het ondanks de 4 elektrische kacheltjes niet warm te krijgen,Bij binnenkomst lag er een plas water in de keuken afkomstig van de vaatwasser,steeds opdweilen,uiteindelijk maar helemaal uitgezet,niet gebruikt. Wat wij vooral misten was een elektrische waterkoker,nu was het gevaarlijk manouvreren met een pannetje kokend water voor de koffie/thee,ook een koffiezetapparaat zou welkom zijn . De omgeving biedt ook genoeg mooie uitstapjes.

About the host

Hosted by Maria

Host profile image
We are the type of people who travel NOT to take selfies but to know specific places and people. We intend to analyse the footprints of those who came before us and remain in each place of the world that we visit.
We dont prefer 5 star hotels to show our friends photos of luxury places but only if we look for very comfortable places. To visit a site is, for us, to capture the soul of the place, people and have a glimpse of their art and story.

Why they chose this property

We inheritd this house from our family ancestors. It belonga us since 2 and half centuries. It was completely destroyed and recently rebuilt for the fourth time, now according with the law that protects Portuguese Heritage. The type of building comes from the XVIII century but it offers the comfort of a house.
Stone, clay and wood are traditional building materials tipical of the region.

The barrage of Vigia also provides unique conditions to water sports lovers .

Castelo Street goes straight to the second Castle Gate, Porta da Ravessa, just beside our house. Opposite the house there is a small church, Misericórdia Chapel, just beside the Hospital of Santa Casa da Misericórdia.
The house entrance ( granit bordered door and window ) is also close to the tower of the Mannor House of the Castle.
There are possibilities, by the family members, if booked in advance, to lead the guests to a visit Évora city and monuments, Vila Viçosa Palace, handicraft or field seasonal activities, wine proofs or any other interest manifested, according to the relevant offer of the region.

This historical part of the village, where our ancient house stays, was submitted to recent arquitectural recuperation, and offers the possibility of agreable, calm and safe walks.
