Nestling Cottage Bettween Sunset and a Castle A beautiful traditional Alentejan cottage atEvoramonte set high on a steep, west-facing slope below the mediaeval walled village of Evoramonte, 24 kilometers from Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and 14 from Estremoz, with its ancient royal palace, Monte do Chafariz offers you magnificent views over the thickly wooded hills of the Serra d’Ossa and the ancient village of Vimieiro to the distant Castle of Arraiolos. Evoramonte is thought to be the site of the pre-historic Ebora, and was certainly on the Roman road between Merida and Évora.

The house nestles into the hillside, protected by schist terraces. The gentle, soothing sound of water flowing from the spring, the chafariz is always present. Chinese carp leap in the terrace pool. The landscape is marked, not only by the strong presence of ancient olive groves, but also by groves of orange, fig and walnut. In the evening the soft light appears to undulate as it silhouettes the contours of the hills, while the sheep bells announce the end of the day. The sunsets are fantastic, whether enjoyed from the living room or the terrace. There are beautiful walks along almost secret paths lined with rosemary, lavender and rock roses. The house is set beside a terrace shaded by trees and vines, a wonderful place to sling your hammock.

Day and night daily life is accompanied by a symphony of an incredible variety of birds. The color of landscape changes all over the year and specially in Spring changes its color carpets of íris, narcissus, poppies, wild rosemary.
