Holiday houses in Odemira

Our favourite part of our trip! We loved it here!! Such lovely hosts - we really enjoyed having dinner with them, they cooked us such a fabulous meal! Such a special place xx

Marten’s place was by far our favourite air bnb stay to date! The location was almost too good to be true. The tent is set in the middle of a nature reserve and you really feel like you are the only people for miles. It was beautiful, peaceful and very romantic. Watching the sun set over the dunes on an evening was perfect. Then just a short walk through dunes and you’re on a fantastic beach!! Marten left extra special touches that we really appreciated- a bottle of wine on arrival and some candles to light by the tent as the sun went down. There is a toilet, hot shower and kitchen located towards the main house which were great. We cooked here a couple of nights and found we had all the amenities - pots, pans, plates, burner etc. Marten was a fantastic host. The place was clean comfy and we even got extra blankets incase we got cold (we didn’t!). He was great at offering expert advice on which beaches were best for surfing etc. We will be back!

A artisanal house immersed in nature, surrounded by beautiful mounds where you often see sheep grazing in the pastures. In the immediate surroundings you will find a variety of flora and a thriving ecosystem in which multiple species of beetles, bumblebees, spiders and butterflies are common sight (good indicator of a healthy environment). At sundown - as I am writing in late May with 27°C - you hear the frogs croaking in the nearby puddle which is within the property, and throughout the night, the nightsky is clear of artificial lights, so you can see plenty of stars. There are also, naturally, a lot of bugs in the night, but we didn't have many problems keeping them out of the house, being careful with opening and closing the door. The house kept a perfect temperature during the night, without the need for any heating. Its design is clever and aesthetically very interesting. We had a wonderful time and fully recommend this place.

Perfect location - charming house - absolute calm - stunning views

We stayed 6 nights at Bas’ place and expected to use it as a base to explore the Alentejo region. Instead we found the home and the town to be so lovely, we only went out one day to the seashore (which was amazing even in mid April). Bas has created a space with everything you need, including a beautiful view, and we appreciated the artistic designs of the space and the furniture. The hilly quaint town of Odemira was beginning its April celebrations of justice and liberty and we were lucky enough to catch a concert of many local choral groups singing the Cante Alentejano style. As for delicious Portuguese food, try the cataplana de tamboril at O Tarros (we ate there 3 times) and the bola de berlim at cafe Rita. And of course, the Alentejano wines. What a treat to experience what Bas has discovered. And he made it so easy with great instructions and communication. Highly recommend!

Rancho dos Bravos is an absolute dream, a magical place in an equally magical location. The house is full of thoughtful details and beautifully designed. Every corner feels intentional and inspiring. I immediately felt at home peaceful, comfortable, and connected to nature. Truly one of those rare places that stay with you long after you leave

We had such a lovely and peaceful stay at this charming villa near Zambujeira do Mar. The house was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed — from a well-equipped kitchen to a perfect pool for sunset swims. We spent our days walking along the scenic trails, surfing at the nearby beaches, and just soaking in the tranquil surroundings. It truly felt like a hidden gem. Tair was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing break close to naturem.

Alexandra & Tiago are fantastic hosts. The instructions to get to their place were really helpful and despite our late arrival Alexandra was ready to welcome us and show us around. Their place is beautiful, set in peaceful surroundings with lots of places to wander and explore, or just sit, relax, and sample some of the great local produce (we particularly enjoyed the local wine and olives, and freshly squeezed orange juice each morning). The house is spacious with a nice bathroom (great shower) and a very comfortable bed. The kitchen is very well equipped and we found everything we needed to cook our own meals. The local area is stunning and there are lovely villages and cafés to explore, or you can venture a bit further to the coast. Alexandra & Tiago were incredibly welcoming and helpful, sharing tips on local things to do, and adding some special touches since we were on our honeymoon. Couldn't recommend their place highly enough - thank you!
