Located in the village of Brejão, on the southern tip of Alentejo Coast, with wide views of Monchique’s mountain range and the ocean, this charming rural tourism unit has 7 double bedrooms, which unite simplicity and well being, it is the ideal place to feel truly comfortable.

T he sensations begin as soon as you enter this space. Here we chance upon a world apart. The fine lawns, the tranquility of the swimming pool, the freshness of the surfaces, carefully placed shades as if it were all had a natural order and its right place. And there are the tiny insects chosen to baptise the rooms, like someone entering a little universe of fairies.

All rooms have private bathroom and central heating, facing a large covered porch, ideal for a “siesta” or a bit of afternoon reading, as well as socializing with other guests. Here, the breakfasts are renown, made with homegrown produce and eggs from their own chickens. On request you can get your own picnic basket and, whenever possible, dinner.

Besides the swimming pool and the children’s area, there is also a living room for guests and a “secret” space separated from the main building, where you can enjoy movies, a small children’s area for drawing and painting and a kitchenette for your own use. Cerca do Sul organizes several theme weekends and a variety of workshops, and for those who want to explore the area, Sara has plenty of activities to suggest. Surfing, trekking trails, mountain climbing, donkey rides, yoga classes and relaxing massages are some of the those suggestions. There is also a small corner with regional produce, one of the challenges of a house with the impulse to develop local arts and crafts.

At Brejão, you’re just around the corner from Amália and Carvalhal beaches, but among Odeceixe, Aljezur, Zambujeira do Mar and Cabo Sardão, there will be many other treasures to revisit or discover
