Farmhouse Description
“Casa da Torre” is located in the small village of Conceicao, with
a population of 60 inhabitants.
The basic needs like groceries, fresh bread, fruit, vegetables,
fish, cheese and local sausages are sold in the local store or
delivered daily by salesmen that come to the doorway.
Seducing small rural white manor house, surrounded by walls, at
the edge of a small village, where we are wellcommed and
pampered by the locals.
It is a refugee, although only 1 1/2 hours from Lisbon, it makes
us feel we are far far away.
Unspoilt surroundings, like the working windmill, in a true rural
area.
Built in 1889 by wealthy farmers the house was recently
recovered using traditional materials (taipa), that preserve the
indoor temperature cool in the summer and cozi in winter.
Since its purchase 3 yrs ago we have been slowly restoring it to
its original appearance.
The property comprises two houses: the main house and a
cottage, garden with swimming pool and a poolhouse with a
barbecue next to swimming pool, equiped for meals and bar,
including an extra fridge and a dishwasher.
One aisle of the main house is closed, to be recovered in the
near future. This does not disturb the use of the rest of the
property.
In total there are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms: 3 double, 2 twin
and 1 cots, 2 of the bedrooms with en-suite facilities. The
property also has 1 single sofa bed and 1 single foldable away
bed. This gives room for up to 12 people. Bed linen and towels
are provided for your use. Most rooms are equiped with a wood
stove.
There are four bicycles for riding in the countryside.
5 kms away in the typpical old town of Messejana, you can find
restaurants, newspapers, a bank, a drugstore and other kind of
stores.
Also 5kms away you have the “Monte da Rocha” lake, where you
can swim, fish, and practice non-motorised water sports.
Further away, approximately 15kms, you have the bigger towns
of Aljustrel, Castro Verde and Ourique with historic and cultural
sites: castles, churches, and museums.
The magnificent coastal beaches of Alentejo are 45 kms of
empty roads away. The Algarve coastline is situated less than 80
kms south. Lisbon is only 170 kms by motorway.
A car is recommended to fully enjoy the area.
