Holiday houses in São Teotónio

We spent a month in André's house and had a blast. The house is in a great location for those who seek tranquility and nature, but also close enough to shops, restaurants and beaches. It was spot-on clean and has a fireplace for those colder days. Comfortable and huge bed. André was super-responsive, friendly, and helpful. It was a great stay overall!

At Rinkje's house we were able to find peace and tranquility after a few days of hustle in the bustling August of the Algarve. The porch is ideal for lunch, dinner, painting or just spending the afternoon. At night, the stars and the sound of crickets surround you. The cows walk in the morning through the grounds of Rinkje, with their cencerros sonando. Rinkje and her companion are charming and very attentive. One of the best homes we've found in Costa Vicentina.

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!

We loved Armando and Miguel’s home. They were extremely kind and welcoming from the start. The place was clean and quiet - it’s the perfect place to relax for a few days. The garden is lovely and our dog was so happy running around as it is fully fenced off. We also enjoyed the fresh warm bread, fruit and pastries that they brought us on the first day. Such a lovely gesture. We didn’t want to leave!

João and Sofia were always helpful and answered any questions or topics in a few minutes. The house is very cozy, it has everything you need for daily life, with everything for cleaning, day-to-day accessories, a great stereo and television with Netflix and cable channels. Comfortable beds, a typical terrace with space for socializing and barbecues, tables and chairs with umbrellas that allow you to enjoy at any time of day. We stayed with our young daughters and despite the mezzanine with stairs, they got along well and without any problems. We loved the house, the neighborhood of São Teotónio is full of friendly and nice people. In short, it was amazing and we thank João and Sofia for their hospitality. We'll be back. See you soon!

What a little gem in a great location. Has everything I needed and more. Will definitely be back to stay a little longer. Just a heads up that it’s not very private, as goes with an annex :). The owners are right next doors and so are possible other renters. When you sit outside, other people might be around. Still absolutely loved it, but it’s good to know :)

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 a wonderful time at this beautiful tiny house. The place is even more beautiful then the pictures show. Inside everything is from wood and beautifully made. The place is very tidy as well. The garden is wonderful with, in this time of the year, many flowers. The area is beautiful too. Beatriz is a great host and easy to communicate with. We definitely recommend it and hope to come back one day.
