Holiday home Monte de Santiago

Gentle hills with cork oaks, pines and olive trees cha­rac­terise the Alentejo hin­terland. In the midst of this Arcadian land­scape sits Monte de Santiago — formerly a tra­di­tional farm­house — sur­rounded by 16 hec­tares of private land that merges seam­lessly into the green expanse.

Distinctive ele­ments, such as the small windows at the rear of the sleek building, the bulbous fire­place and the old gate, which serves as a model for the two arched glass doors, have been deli­berately pre­served and empha­sised. The interplay of vaults, arches and straight lines also con­tinues inside.

The cen­tre­piece of the house is the elon­gated living and dining room with two seating areas and an open-plan kitchen, which extends across the entire length of the room with its marble worktop. Even the vaulted ceiling matches this linear break. Two bed­rooms — one with a double bed, one with bunk beds — and two small bath­rooms offer space for a total of four people.

Around the house, extensive outdoor areas extend the living space into the open air — from various seating and dining spots, a sun deck, shady corners under the trees to a large pool that stretches out into the land­scape. If you want to leave the peaceful hideaway from time to time, the fishing village of Porto Covo with its beaches and num­erous small vil­lages in the imme­diate vicinity can be reached in around 20 minutes by car. During the day, the bells of the grazing flocks of sheep accompany the idyll, while at night the starry sky spans the land­scape. In a round arch, of course.

What to do

Hiking and biking, swimming in the pool as well as swimming, surfing and windsurfing on the coast (approx. 20 minutes away by car) with a variety of beaches such as Porto Covo, Adraga, Morgavel and São Torpes, fishing, walks to the neighbouring villages of São Domingos (2.5 km) and Abela (3 km) with cafés, bars, restaurants and shops or excursions to the villages of Sines and Santiago do Cacém including the castle and well-preserved Roman ruins in Miróbriga or a visit to the Badoca Safari Park.
