Regional Information for villa holidays in Alentejo
One of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas in Portugal, the Alentejo plains stretch from the Algarve to Lisbon and across to the Spanish border. Here you will find rugged plains and sandy beaches, olive groves and vineyards, pretty walled towns and colourful villages, and megalithic monuments dating back to 5000BC. A stay in an Igluvilla provides you with a great base from which to explore this amazing land.
Places to visit while on your villa holiday in Alentejo
An amazingly unexploited area of Portugal is the coast of Alentejo with its sheltered calm water beaches, rugged surfing beaches and long stretches of sand. This area has one of the sunniest climates in Europe – 3000 hours of sunshine per year – with plenty for visitors to see and do.
Inland Alentejo is a largely unexplored part of Portugal with lots of little whitewashed villages. Local festivals are very important to this region and are always great fun to join in with.
Eating out on your villa holiday in Alentejo
Food in the region varies throughout in terms of style. You’ll find more nourishing food inland with wholesome country stews and desserts. Then as you reach the coast, the menu changes to mostly seafood dishes, and the wonderful home-made bread is a must. The wines are particularly tempting as this undiscovered region produces some of the best wines in Portugal.
Places to visit while on your villa holiday in Alentejo
Évora
Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, wheat fields and brilliant spring flowers, the walled town of Évora is charming and one of Portugal’s architectural gems. Its roman temple, medieval stone walls and imposing Romanesque cathedral have all been beautifully restored.
Estremoz and the marble towns of Borba and Vila Vicosa are well worth a visit. This area is so rich in beautiful marble that everything – from the pavement upwards – is made from the dazzlingly white local marble.
Vila Nova de Milfontes
South of Lisbon and slightly north of the Algarve, Vila Nova de Milfontes is a land of rolling hills and unspoilt countryside. On the estuary of the River Mira, this attractive town offers a wide variety of water sports with many beaches suitable for surfing nearby.
