Holiday Cottage in Portugal29 December 2009  Travelers looking for a quaint, cozy holiday cottage in Portugal that is surrounded by farmland and villages that have changed little in the last 100 years will be delighted to find Alentejo Luminoso, a hidden gem that is absolutely ideal for a romantic couple’s getaway or a rural family retreat. This tastefully decorated holiday cottage has a particular rustic charm that is accented with bright, welcoming colours and exceptional views of the countryside in all directions. When taking a leisurely stroll under the twinkling stars of a clear night sky, you will immediately understand why this expansive property has been named Luminoso, and you just might never want to return to the smog and fumes of big city life.
If you are looking for the ideal holiday cottage, Portugal – and this rural, agricultural area in particular – is an exceptional choice where guests can watch shepherds tending to their flocks and may have to stop to allow farmers to usher their cattle across the road when on their way to explore one of the tiny, nearby villages. Luminoso is located on 40 hectares of rolling, privately owned land near the Barragem de Rocha and is part of a nature reserve where wildlife and important tree and plant species flourish. The area around the property includes expansive fields of grain, groves of cork oak trees and a lake, providing serene natural beauty that is far removed from traffic, crowds and the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
When stealing away to this holiday cottage, Portugal visitors will enjoy two comfortably decorated bedrooms, a spacious, fully-furnished kitchen and a living area that boasts comfortable seating, a television, DVD player, radio, CD player and double sofa bed. From the French doors, guests can step outside onto a furnished terrace where they can enjoy the garden, patio or built-in barbecue, while taking in the relaxing views of rolling hills and bucolic countryside. Upon arrival to this quaint holiday cottage, Portugal travelers will see that they share this area of natural beauty only with the property owners, whose home is situated close enough to be nearby if needed, but far enough for complete privacy.
Horseback riding is available onsite, as is kinesiology therapy sessions or courses and workshops, and photography courses. In close proximity to this holiday cottage, Portugal is home to a number of important archaeological sites, several nearby towns and villages, craft markets and the town of Ourique, which is located just 12 kilometers away and has all of the modern amenities you might need, such as shops, restaurants and supermarkets.
If you are looking for the perfect getaway from modern, everyday life and would like to steal away to a lovely holiday cottage in Portugal holidaymakers cannot go wrong with Luminoso, a comfortable, rural holiday home that is ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation.
