Location Details for this villa rental in Ourique
Vale da Cegonha comprises of 3 properties - Casa Cegonha where you will find our reception, Casa Aguia and Casa Andorinha, all set in 20 glorious acres of unspoilt countryside yet only 5km from the town of Ourique where you will find shops,supermarkets,banks,a post office,health centre and petrol station. There is also a wide selection of cafes and restaurants with varied menus at inexpensive prices.
This area of Portugal is known as Planicie Dourada or Golden Plains. It is a landscape of rolling hills and open plains dotted with oak trees, eucalyptus and olive groves interspersed with pristine white towns and villages.It has a timeless quality where life goes on much as it has done for generations; where the stresses and strains of modern day living become just a far off memory.
It is also an area steeped in history. Many of the local towns such as Beja, Evora, Silves, Serpa or Monsaraz have either Roman, Moorish or Medieval origins and the Plains are also littered with archaeological sites.
Our central location in the southern Alentejo and excellent road links makes Vale da Cegonha an ideal place from which to visit these and many other interesting places.
If you fancy a beautiful beach almost to youself then head for the stunning west coast. For a little more razzmatazz head south to the Algarve beach resorts. Eastward will take you to the new Alqueva reservoir (now the largest in all of Europe) and the lovely Guadiana valley and Spanish border. North will take you to Lisbon for an excellent day out sightseeing and shopping.
Closer to home there are miles of old cartways crossing the land. For
those who love wildlife and birdlife a day out either walking, cycling, horseriding or jeep safari-ing, there is much to see - fabulous flowers in spring,brightly coloured birds such as hoopoes, bee eaters, and blue magpies and majestic birds of prey soaring over head. Then, also, there are the storks. Vale da Cegonha means 'valley of the stork' and they nest all around us from November until late August.
For the food and wine enthusiast we strongly recommend a day at a local vineyard, including a typical Alentejan luch and winetasting. The local pork or preto porco is superb,and if you have a sweet tooth, local desserts, tradtionally made by nuns, are a must.
But if all this sound too energetic then we would like to invite you to just sit, relax and enjoy this lovely part of Portugal from the comfort of Vale da Cegonha.
