Lovely country cottage
A lovely, cosy Alentejo style cottage situated in a rural area surrounded by vineyards, cork and olive trees. Everything was as described in the listing and the local property manager was lovely and made the check-in and check-out process seamless. A nice welcome basket was awaiting us of local wine, cheese and bread. Sadly, the view of the fields from the back patio was blocked by overgrown vegetation during our stay. The lemon tree was full of fruit and we were encouraged to pick them to make lemonade. (Which we did! ) The people in town were very friendly, as well.

Cosy and well located
Well, I loved the hammock and the little back yard, where I spent most of my time..The house was prettily decorated and comfortable. We took our own toaster as the one provided was a bit awkward to use and had no automatic cut off. One more biggish saucepan, for pasta or rice, would be good but I understand most people are not interested in cooking and our situation was a bit different. We loved the fact we could take our dog and cats with us. Both the owner and the lady looking after the property were friendly and efficient and made checking in and out very easy. There is a great little restaurant round the corner which has lunches including wine and dessert for eight euros..Montoito is a lovely village, well located for exploring the area ..Recommended.

Rustic cottege at a least touristy place to relax
Tia Luisa is a traditional and rustic cottage, perfect place if you want to stay like a local. We were there in the late summer, and we were probably the only tourists in the entire Montoito village. Great access to many interesting lovely villages by car, large supermarkets in Redondo and Reguengos de Monsaraz are useful, Municipal Market in Redondo was also nice with lovely market people, but also in Montoito, nearby mini market was our favourite as the man of the shop was always exceptionally kind and helping to us. Neighbouring village Redondo (only 20min drive away) was particularly our favourite. Spent nice time there at a cafe or a bar (municipal Enoteca), came back to the cottage, had nice drink in the garden watching sheep are coming back for water beyond the garden fence, and then enjoyed watching gorgeous colour of sunset and millions of stars in the sky... It was only shame that the neighbour family was a little noisy; it was not as quiet as we expected staying there. Well, it is where other people live their daily life, we had to accept… Cottage was fully equipped as it stated, no problem on cooking at all. Finally, we really want to thank the lovely neighbour who actually looked after our stay. When we arrived unexpectedly late at night for the first day, she quickly came out for us and welcomed us, explained all what we wanted to know. A bottle of wine, fresh village bread for the next morning and fresh fruits from her garden were ready there, which made us relaxed and free from concern. She was really helpful from time to time. When we call her, she immediately appeared. Thank you Joao, for all the arrangement. We had great time there on our holiday this year. We left extra copies of brochures of interesting places there in the living room for later visitors. Hope it helps them.

Great place
Great rustic and charming flat on the edge of town. Centrally located to visit wonderful places in all directions. Local foods and wines are fabulous. Bed was not the most comfortable and tight for 2 people. Check in and out was easy. Freaks have lemons on the tree in the back patio. Lovely!!

Relaxing
Tia Luisa was perfect for us: quiet, well-equipped, convenient and comfortable. From the verandah we loved the view over farmland and from the front of the cottage the local shops and cafe are only a short walk away. As for the local area, we visited beautiful Evora, Monsaraz, and Beja, and swam in the lake near Mourao. We'd already been on holiday for a few days when we arrived but this is where we really began to relax. Thanks Joao.

excellent séjour maison de campagne
Superbe maison dans un village typique. Bon emplacement si on veut visiter Evora. Excellent restaurant en face de la pharmacie a 30-50 m de la maison . Nous avons pris touts no repas dans ce resto et c'était absolument délicieux.Juste pour ce resto ca vaut la peine de séjourner dans ce petit village. Nous avons eu de la difficulté de trouver le village. L'adresse de la maison n'était pas précise . Avant de vous présenter il faut s'assurer de prévenir le propriétaire et de confirmer les modalités de prendre la clé. Bon séjour

Traditionelles Wohnhaus in ländlicher Umgebung
Haus in einer Gasse in einem verschlafenen Dorf. Original Einrichtung der "Tante" - alles mit Zierrat vollgestellt, lokalkolorit, wenig Platz um zu kochen, kaum Ablage und Arbeitsflächen. Die Betten nicht sehr komfortabel (auf einem Brett Federkernmatratzen). Netter Garten mit weitem Blick in die Landschaft.

Lovely peaceful getaway
After a lovely welcome from Dona Paula we were very happy with the house and garden space. Inside was lovely and cool, with stone floors and ample space for a couple and 2 dogs, and the garden was a wonderfully peaceful place to sit outside and read, sunbathe and eat. The night sky is phenomenal in this area, with the Milky Way and constellations perfectly visible. The village is quite sleepy, but has 2 café / restaurants, a post office, supermarket and small general store. The towns of Redondo and Reguengos are a short drive away, and the beautiful hilltop village of Monsaraz with stunning views of Alqueva reservoir and the most amazing sunsets is just a short distance further on from Reguengos. The reservoir beach has great facilities and watersports like Stand up Paddleboarding, pedal boats, kayaking and a sunset cruise. We live in Portugal so didn't want to drive further to visit Évora or the marble towns of Vila Viçosa, Estremoz etc, but for a first time visitor those places are well worth a look. As we wanted a restful getaway, we were extremely pleased with our choice.

Casa bonita vistas al campo
Nos ha gustado mucho la estancia en esta casa. En general tranquila (aunque en este momento hay una obra grande a dos casas de ésta y estaban excavando en el campo delante del patio). Muy cómido llegar y aparcar y Monzaraz y Evora a media hora. Restaurante del pueblo pone menu del dia que era excelente. La gente del pueblo muy amable.

Très convenable.
Petite maison typique de cette province Portugaise . Bien située au carrefour de magnifiques villes/ villages , à proximité du plus grand lac artificiel d'Europe . Un petit "resto " sympa à quelques 50 m de l'habitation. Parking dans la rue sans souci.Toutefois ( à l'époque ou nous l'avons occupée ) ,il est à noter un défaut d'isolation aux ouvertures qui a été rapidement compensé par un radiateur supplémentaire . Le propriétaire ainsi que Laura la dame chargée de la réception sont à l'écoute et aux "petits soins " . Si nous avions une note a donner elle serait de 7 sur 10 ....

Charmantes, ruhig gelegenes Alentejohaus
Wir wurden freundlich von den Eltern des Besitzers empfangen, die bereits die Elektroheizungen in den Schlafräumen angeschaltet hatten und uns einen Vesperkorb mit gutem Rotwein der Region, sowie einem Bauernbrot und lokalem Käse auf den Tisch gestellt hatten. Danke dafür! Das tat nach der langen Reise gut, denn wir kamen erst gegen 21:30 im Haus an, was kein Problem war. Am nächsten Morgen wurden wir von der Sonne geweckt, die die Zitronen an dem kleinen Baum im Garten besonders gelb leuchten ließ. Die Schafe hinter dem Haus mit ihrem Blöken haben wir sehr genossen, wie auch den Ausblick auf die Olivenplantagen und vor allem die Ruhe und den Frieden. Der kleine Garten und die Terasse sind eine wahre Oase der Erholung. Leider hat das kalte und regnerische Wetter die häufige Nutzung nicht zugelassen. Dafür haben wir den wunderbaren Ofen jeden Abend genutzt. Er zieht sehr gut und heizt das Wohn-/Esszimmer sehr schnell richtig auf. Das Haus ist blitzsauber und ordentlich. Es ist mit sehr viel Charme im Alentejostil eingerichtet. Wir haben uns während der 17 Tage, die wir dort verbringen durften, sehr wohl gefühlt und werden sicher einmal wieder kommen. Die sehr ländliche Region bietet viele Exkursionsmöglichkeiten. Nahe an der spanischen Grenze gelegen, macht es Sinn, auch die nahen spanischen Weltkulturerbestätten Caceres und Merida, neben den portugisischen Weltkulturerbestädten Evora und Elvas, zu besichtigen. Wir waren vor allem von den vielen Festungen, insbesondere die wundervollen Orte Monsaraz und Marvao, begeistert. Ebenso haben uns die prähistorischen Monumente der Umgebung fasziniert, genauso wie die Marmorsteinbrüche. Natürlich haben wir auch die guten Weine der Region genossen und die vielen Töpfereien besucht. Wir haben in dem Haus gut geschlafen und uns prächtig erholt. Die ruhige Umgebung hat sich auf uns in positivem Sinne ausgewirkt. Zauberhaft war die Landschaft um diese Jahreszeit mit vielen blühenden Blumen übersäht. Die Kommunikation mit Joao in Englisch verlief problemlos. Schade, dass wir uns nicht persönlich kennenlernen konnten, aber das kann ja vielleicht beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Montoito möglich sein.
