Vacation rentals with a kayak in Alto Alentejo

Hi, I want to thank you for the amazing experience we had at your home. The house is simply fantastic, with a fabulous location that allowed us to enjoy the most of the stay. We were received in the best possible way, and everything was impeccable. A special thanks to Cláudia and Andreia, who have always been extremely helpful and friendly, resolving any situation with brilliant efficiency and impressive speed. It was a memorable stay and we will certainly recommend your home to those looking for an amazing experience! Thanks a lot!

Great location near the lagoon, this quaint Portuguese home with a beautiful private yard/pool is perfect for a family vacation or just a romantic getaway. Carlos was responsive through the whole process and made us feel right at home. We will definitely return.

We had an amazing time here! So wonderful setting and peaceful. All the amenities we could imagine. Exactly what we were looking for when we would stay near Coimbra for one of us to work there and the rest of the family have a great time. We went around and discovered the surroundings and found both good restaurant and shops a short drive away. We bathed in the biological pool and also had fun with tadpoles, lizards and other things you could see. The river at your fingertips was also a lovely place to be at. We picked grapefruits from the trees and eggs from the hens. Helena was an amazing host and thought of us right away when there was a power outage in all of Portugal. We felt safe and cared for. One of the beds is very hard but it was possible to solve ok with some cushions. We would be glad to come back!

Very nice and well-equipped house for 9 people Pleasant living room Outdoor BBQ/Pizza Oven & Large Table with Great River View Radeau (floating dock) with sun loungers, table, fridge to rest by the river and kayak and paddle board available Very easy to communicate with Carla A great family stay in a beautiful place

We loved the stay. It is possible to have peace and fun at the same time through contact with nature, whether through the beautiful landscape or even the dam. André is extremely attentive and Montezinho has everything a guest needs to enjoy their stay. All the items in the house are extremely tasteful, which allowed us to feel at home.

Beautiful location for lake and water sports lovers. Excellent rental for big groups.

It was a magnificent stay. Artur is a great host and a friend. The house is very onita and comfortable, with excellent quality beds and fresh rooms, even in the middle of the Alentejo summer. It's a great place for a large family or group of friends. You live around the pool, in the shade, or in the sun, overlooking a plain out of sight. We visited Mértola and the Alqueva dam easily less than an hour by car. Would highly recommend. Thank you Artur!

Amazing location, and great accomodation facilities. Went there for 5 days with my two 5 year old daughters in the summer and we had an amazing time. The only thing that holds this place from perfection was the sofa-bed, which impacted my sleeping, but Pedro committed to solve it for future guests.

The place is more amazing than the pictures. The house and the place are wonderful! advisable to stay on the weekend or even a whole week. They stayed in our top 3 of homes that we've already stayed on airbnb.

It's a perfect spot to enjoy Alto Alentejo. The cottage is beautiful, with very well-kept, spacious and comfortable decoration. Highly recommended!!! Just need to improve the internet connection, and I'm sure they'll get it!!

A pleasent 15 minute drive out of Elvas brings you to the ridge line on which the few dozen houses of the village of Juromenha resides, adjacent to the imposing Fortress Juromenha. You drop down off the ridge towards the river Guadiana to arrive at Casa de Juromenha and its tranquil rural setting nestled between an olive grove and the the fortress. Behind the hedge lies a beautful traditional style building with a country garden, manicured lawn and an aquamarine pool facing the river. The room was beautiful, traditional and the decor has been done with passion and talent. We wanted for nothing and loved our time here, we thoroughly enjoy walking around the Fortress and a meal the local bar Pata Larga. For a country get away it has been outstanding for us. Alandroal, Villa Vicosa and the Marble area are all interesting visits from this idyllic base.

This is a great space in a real out-of-the-way part of Portugal. Tired of big city tourism? Try this property. Tiny villages dot the hills and you get an old world sense of Portugal here. The pool is the real star of the property here (as are Eric's three dogs, one of which lounged with us each morning) as it overlooks he view of the river. We did use the kayaks as well. It is hard to get to them down a very steep hill with ladders and a bit of minor repelling. Not for those with a bad knee or hip. Which gets me to, accessing the apartments, particularly the lower unit, is tricky. Steep, slanting and uneven steps that can be a little slippery. Perhaps not for the elderly. Hint for improvement would be to upgrade the furnishings and kitchenware. The knives couldn't cut an orange.
