Holiday Rentals Alentejo and Apartments Alentejo

This magical southern swath of the Portuguese countryside has captivated the imaginations of seafaring folk, ancient travelers and modern day vacationers who seek refuge in the pastoral holiday homes on the Mediterranean countryside, the olive orchards and old-time farmland, as well as the brilliant beaches where nothing can be heard but crashing waves.

Set up in a beachfront holiday rental apartment and enjoy daily views of the stunning blue ocean outside your oversized windows. Walk down the stairway and feel the cool, Atlantic wind caress your face as you proceed to amble, carefree, upon the pristine Portuguese coast. Enjoy gilded white sand, purple cliffsides, and an explosion of wildflowers that burst into color in spring and early summer. Alentejo offers a fantastic selection of holiday homes and holiday villas Alentejo that make this region a great vacation destination and will make you want to come back again and again.

Apart from sunbathing on the beach, the Vicente Coast is a superb starting point for cycling tours. As a natural park, this coastline is famed to be one of the most well-preserved in all of Europe, further attesting to the outback, untouched mystery and charm of Portugal. Discover it. Rent a bike and join up with one of the numerous cycling tours that ride up and down the Alentejo coast, feel the wind in your hair as you speed along the well kept roads, and enjoy the native charm of the locals as you stop into quaint little seaside fishing villages to collect refreshments and souvenirs. Buy some fresh fish and grill it in your self catering holiday home for a truly memorable meal.

Among the diverse selection of historical attractions throughout Alentejo, one of the most incredible is the Temple of Diana, which is located in the breathtaking Évora region of Alentejo, Portugal. This dates back nearly two millennia. Yes, there is more to Portugal than just pristine countryside, as this destination is chock full of historical intrigue, the surface of which a traveler can barely scratch. But scratch away, and you’ll be fascinated every step of the way. You might just find yourself extending your stay in your holiday apartment just to scratch deeper and explore further this magnificent area.

Moving on from the Temple of Diana, discover the Évora Cathedral, which artfully mixes the Gothic as well as the Roman architectural styles to present a remarkably intact 12th century work of art. Throughout the region, Roman ruins hearken back to that monumental empire, yet are dwarfed in age by the remnants of Celtic inhabitance.

Nightlife is strongest on the coastal towns, and there is plenty of fun to be had. Enjoy your stay in your holiday homes Alentejo!
