This is not an Hotel. It is a paradise for those seek to unplug and reconnect to a slower pace of life while experimenting with off-grid living: solar electricity for lights, solar and firewood heating systems, low pressure water system, compost toilet, no mobile or internet networks available inside the house. You will have access to a splash tank, food garden, trekking paths and a small waterfall.

The space
The guesthouse is set within the garden in an isolated setting about 2km from the nearest village. We live in a house across the road and up the hill near enough to offer assistance when needed but far enough to give privacy.

Guest access
The guest house is completely yours with a bedroom, bathroom with compost toilet and wood-fired water heater, and kitchen. You also have a private patio with shade and access to a natural swimming pool and walking paths.

Other things to note
Get ready to party like it's 1899! We are low/no-tech here in the guest house. This includes:

-compost/dry toilet.
-wood-fired & solar water heater.
-gas range and wood-fired oven in the kitchen.
-solar power system is sufficient to run the refrigerator and charge small devices during the day. All must be disconnected during the night and absolutely no use of hair dryers or other heating devices.
-wi-fi at 30 meter distance.
-limited cell reception.

There are two dogs, two goats, many cats, and chickens living on site.

Where you’ll be

Alegrete, Portalegre, Portugal

We are surrounded by wild nature. It is very common to hear, but quite rare to see, wild pigs, foxes and other animals. This is a perfect place for birdwatching and trekking. Ask us for recommendations or view Heidi's guidebook here on Airbnb.

My work: gardening and other local projects
Speaks English, Portuguese, and Spanish
Hi, i'm Zé! I used to work on the big city but self-retired at 39 and rebuild this farm where I live since 2009. I live off-grid, growing organic vegetables, aiming for full sustainability, self-sufficiency and a positive impact on the ecosystem and the local community.
