A holiday home in undiscovered Costa do Alentejo: the perfect getaway
With warm temperatures year-round and fresh sea breezes in the summer, the many different holiday apartments, 'quinta' accommodation and holiday houses to be found in the Costa do Alentejo region of Portugal make for a diverse and superb value family holiday. Easily accessed from Lisbon or Faro, the area's natural beauty and quiet beaches make it a great all-round location for a holiday rental.
Unspoilt fishing villages, conveniently located holiday homes and quiet beaches
Portugal's Costa do Alentejo is less famous than its southern neighbour Algarve, but is dotted with beautiful sandy beaches that never seem overly busy, even in summer. Close to uncrowded beaches with calm waters ideal for families, holiday apartments and holiday home rentals in the traditional fishing village of Vila Nova do Milfontes are a great option for a getaway this summer. Locally caught fish and the unbeatable Costa do Alentejo hospitality make the area popular with both families and couples.
World heritage towns, traditional holiday homes and family friendly hiking on the Costa do Alentejo
With a wide variety of holiday houses to be found to rent further inland, especially around São Luís, the scenic roads winding away from the coast offer glimpses of the historic importance of the Alentejo region. The capital, Evora, is a world heritage site with a history dating back more than two thousand years: day-trippers can explore winding cobbled streets and roman monuments at their leisure before sipping delicious coffee in a street cafe. For history buffs, the Almendres Cromlech megalithic complex and Anta do Zambujeiro dolmen make for more interesting day trips within the local area. Another relaxing experience for all the family is the chance to walk or book a donkey ride along a section of The Rota Vicentina trail, taking you through olive groves and along lavender-lined paths typical of the Costa do Alentejo.
Whether planning a romantic trip for two, or an active family holiday, the great choice of holiday rentals, welcoming locals and pleasant climate are great reasons to visit Costa do Alentejo.
