Your home in the heart of Alentejo

The house of Paquetes located in Alto Alentejo, in the village of Terrugem - Elvas arises from the recovery idea of ā€‹ā€‹the house of his paternal great-grandparents of the current owner. Upon his recovery, there was a concern of keeping the original design so as not to detract from the original solution. The stone walls and "dumb brick", as well as paving flags floors and wooden ceilings have been carefully preserved.
Consisting of living room, air-conditioned entrance hall with walls of "dumb brick" to view and coffered ceilings with wooden structure. If you choose to stay at home on the hottest or coldest days, you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere. Why not watch TV, read a good book, or access the Internet through the wireless network.
Heated Dining Room where the original architecture was carefully preserved. Stone and paving flags floor walls where you can not miss the traditional floor fireplace to naturally heat the house on cold winter nights. If the temperature warrants, light the fireplace and listen to the crackling of the wood. Direct door to the terrace provides a brighter environment where the sounds of nature come to you.
Air-conditioned room with a double bed where the stone walls and the ceiling with wooden structure provide a welcoming and comfortable environment ideal for a refreshing night.
Air-conditioned room with twin beds. Stone walls and ceilings with wooden structure. Open the window of the room, look at the garden and enjoy the nature upon waking.
The spacious kitchen with fireplace and typical Alentejo desk you can not miss the traditional calico curtains. Direct door to the terrace allowing a brighter environment. Let the smells of nature mingle with the smells of the cooking. The kitchen is equipped with all the household, this because we want to save time and labor. Enjoy your days of leisure and not worry about the housework.
WC spacious and comfortable with all the features, which highlight the towel with heating, to begin your day in the best way.

An Excellent Village House
Great vllage house with full amenities incl terrace and swimming pool, wonderful & warm host. Great value! Thanks Alexandra. The only 1 thing that bordered me staying there is that there are so many flies around and they get into the house easily. We had to constantly guard against them during meals.
