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.

We had a great 3 night stay at Erica's place. The house had everything we needed to cater for ourselves and we loved the outdoor terrace with view of the pool. Having a little fenced area around the house was perfect for us and our dog to relax without worry. Erica was a lovely host and even allowed us to take cuttings from the plants in the beautiful garden! We hope to visit again.

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.

Large and pretty area surrounding the house. Private, quiet, peaceful. Perfect to disconnect from the noise of everyday life

A good place at a good price, everything very clean and cozy, the host Joaquin is very friendly and helpful. If we return to the area, we will 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.

We had a fantastic 5 day stay. Lynne greeted us and showed us around. A very well positioned little cottage with spectacular views lots of privacy and everything else you need. It had a little kitchen with all essentials and warmth from either Ac or the log burner made it really comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay we hope to come again sometime.

Beautiful place! Loved being surrounded by nature. The nearby river is the perfect place to relax with loved ones or to meditate.
