luxury house with pool for sale Monsaraz, Portugal

An authentic quinta and grounds of 1.25 hectares planted with olive trees in the Alentejo region, close to the Alqueva lake. An emblematic feature of the rural Alentejo, Quinta da Soneca outlines its immaculate, elegant silhouette against the rolling Alqueva countryside, on the edge of a vibrant village. Since its renovation in 2019, the estate has been devoted to tourist accommodation. Planted with 200 olive trees and numerous fruit trees, the 1.25 hectares of gently sloping grounds are completely enclosed by an ancient perimeter wall reinforced by a wire fence. The villa extends over a floor area of roughly 400 m² and boasts a particularly refined decor, enhanced here and there by traditional paintwork. The residence includes six suites, each with an en suite bathroom and private terrace. The light-filled complex also includes a 60 m² studio flat for the owners. The property is fully air-conditioned, has its own water supply via a borehole and is self-sufficient in electricity thanks to solar panels. Enjoyable all year round, the covered terrace and large swimming pool promise unforgettable evenings in the warmth of the setting sun.

A renovated village house with swimming pool and orchard in the Alentejo region, 2 hours from Lisbon. A medieval town close to the ancient Spanish border, Alendroal forms a maze of picturesque alleyways, with whitewashed houses beneath the venerable walls of a castelo. The residence, one of the oldest in the village, is located near the central square. Painstakingly renovated in 2007, it has since undergone a number of additional improvements to make it even more comfortable. With a floor area of almost 280 m², the house includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The interior is sober, warm and rustic, with a striking slate and local stone floor. Outdoors, a large garden of almost 900 m² with fruit trees adjoins a second property included in the sale, comprising an orchard and a house now in ruins. The property is self-sufficient both in water, thanks to a borehole, and in electricity, powered by solar panels. During the hottest hours of the Portuguese summer, future inhabitants will be able to enjoy the pleasant swimming pool and the delightful beaches of the Alqueva, Europe's largest man-made lake, just a few kilometres away.
