Vacation rentals in San Vicente de Alcántara

This location is perfect if you want to drive and spend a few days exploring the Alentejo. Multiple towns are nearby. Evora is a great all day trip, including the megaliths outside of town, and you get to leave all the guided groups behind. Elvas is a wonderful town very near the border with Spain. Villa Real is a gem. Arraiolos is known for weaving rugs. Evoramonte is close by and has terrific views. All of these towns are hilltop towns with castles. The regional wine is terrific, the cork industry is fascinating, the olives, oranges, and lemons, are great, and you are in the middle of the area of marble quarrying. The towns are predominantly full of white buildings with mustard or blue trim and lot and lots of marble. Fica’s place is comfortable, quiet, and has restaurants, bakeries, drugstores, and small shops just steps away.

Casa das Pedras is a great place to stay on a visit to this area. It is a very calm and quiet area, perfect for relaxing. We only stayed one night and it was a shame, because the house invites you to stay a few good days to disconnect and rest. Marcia is an excellent host, always present and ready to help. I highly recommend this place and I want to go back!

James was a lovely host and a pleasure to get to know! We stayed here for a wedding in the area & were consistently impressed by how he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The surrounding area is certainly beautiful - definitely stay if you have the chance. Loved getting to chat with the host throughout our time, and he always provided recommendations or answers to our questions. Huge plus that there are two lovely dogs on the property who love to greet guests. Thank you for everything!

We stayed for 4 nights at this peaceful and secluded farmhouse, visiting friends in neighbouring Castelo Branco. Rogério was there to meet us after an 8 hour drive from Southern Spain with a welcoming drink and home made pastries and he spent 45 minutes explaining about the location and its history; he really is super friendly. The house truly is a home from home filled with his treasures, games and even a keyboard. As mentioned in other reviews the dog did bark constantly but Rogerio had already flagged this and offered to move him. we used the house only as a base however and he did not unduly bother us. It was a great stay and we made full use of the wood burning fire which kept the house cosy and warm however it did smoke a bit leaving everything we owned with a memorable dour of woodsmoke. It’s great value and our friends who live in the area visited one evening and fell in love with its rustic charm, they are going to book a couple of nights for themselves in the summer.

We loved our stay at Quinta do Miradouro! The house is equipped with everything needed for a short stay and great moments of relaxation, it is very spacious and very quiet, only the herds and birds were heard. The trail around the house is very beautiful to make, with beautiful views. The house was very clean, with everything tidy and smelling! The host Sónia always responded quickly, maintained good communication and flexibility at check-in and check-out. Alternative accesses were shown by Sónia (due to poor floor conditions). I only have to mention the fact that the second bathroom is not easily accessible from one of the rooms, having to cross the entire house or cross the contiguous room. For the rest, we loved and recommend Quinta do Miradouro!

The stay at the dolls' house was spectacular. The house was very well decorated and very well equipped with everything thought out in detail. The hosts Mr. Joaquim and his wife were impeccable and welcomed us very well and were always willing for anything that was necessary. The village is spectacular to rest from the city's stress. I would like to visit ÉvoraMonte Castle as it is only a 15-minute walk away and the unassuming view we come across up there is well worth it. I highly recommend this place for a visit to the Alentejo. I'll definitely be back.

We loved the space. Well-equipped and large kitchen. Environment in the heated house. Comfortable rooms, with bathrooms in each room. Wonderful outer space. Great for kids who loved the goats. Very available and helpful host.

If you are looking for a relaxing stay, a heartfelt environment, surrounded by nature and breathtaking landscape of beautiful Portugal countryside. Your host, Susana is pleasant and accommodating to make your stay comfortable. I highly recommend staying here.

A beautiful stay by the river; so peaceful and George and Maria were very welcoming.
