Casa 23 São Domingos Mine
Mina de São Domingos, a land of contrasts in the municipality of Mértola, its uniqueness does not leave the gaze of those who pass through here indifferent. With the river beach of Tapada Grande, which received the Blue Flag for the eleventh consecutive year, one of the most important awards with regard to bathing areas, and with the mining area of São Domingos inserted in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, which has been a sought-after place for ore extraction since ancient times. It makes this location unique!

Cabin Lake View at Cabanas do Lago
Take a moment, come to a quiet place, let yourself wonder. Concealed in the majestic scenery of “Cabanas do Lago” making an honest claim to be a walk away from the pure waters of Santa Clara Dam where if one so chooses can lose themselves in the beauty of this place. Here nature dances with the senses. The sights and sounds that surround this lovely setting will be etched to your memory. To wake up here, can be an amazing experience. Where the soft light of the morning gently wakes you up.

Casa Da Fonte Nova, Messejana, Portugal
A little paradise in the typical Alentejo countryside, surrounded by olive and fruit trees, with a saltwater swimming pool open from April to November. As it’s an extremely quiet spot, the WiFi isn’t very powerful, but it works (a great opportunity to disconnect!). Ideal for nature lovers, with stunning sunrises, sunsets and wildlife all around. Access to the property is via a rural dirt road, typical for the area and accessible to all vehicles.
