Luxury Quinta on estate with private lake - Evora

The owner´s comments

The comfortable villa covers a total area of 450 square meters; its setting is ideal to relax in one of the many “secret corners” of the property or socialize with your party in the lounges, game rooms or terraces.

The house, although modern, is built in the traditional style and therefore very well insulated. Heating in winter and portable air-conditioning in the summer provide additional year round comfort.

The bedrooms are extremely spacious and the bathrooms are modern and fully equipped.
The large fully equiped kitchen provides all that is required for cooking delicious meals.

'Monte das Fontes' is situated 25 km from Evora, one of the most interesting and beautiful cities of Central Alentejo. The lively and historical city of Evora is protected by UNESCO World Heritatge since 1986. Evora has a rich History and Architecture and hosts many cultural events as well as musical festivals. The Alentejo cuisine and wines can be savoured at one of the many delicious Evora restaurants.

Monte das Fontes means "the hill of the sources". The beautifully clean and private fresh water lake is natural and provides an ideal setting for many refreshing breaks.

Delicious meals can be prepared in the barbecue or spacious kitchen and enjoyed in the outside shaded patio or dining room.

Every season or time of the day brings its wonders and different activities at 'Monte das Fontes': early morning or midnight swims, long walks, bike paths, horse riding, hunting, fishing, mushroom picking, bird watching... and in the winter evenings, roasting chestnuts by the giant fire place!

The hot summer months are enjoyed in the coolness of the house, with a refreshing swim in the lake, or with a book in the shaded areas of the garden.

Twice weekly cleaning is provided. On request daily maid service can be provided, food groceries can be ordered daily, and meals can be prepared for your enjoyment with delicious local produce (additional payment). Baby-sitting can also be arranged on request.
Bathing

The beautiful country house offers private beach access to its own private lake. Part of the lake is laid out with a wooden deck; there is a pontoon for boat access. A rowing boat and swimming toys are at your disposal.

Water sports
Alentejo has a lot of water, due to its many lakes. Therefore, if you like water sports, Alentejo is heaven. The many reservoirs with plenty of good access points to the water are excellent for Winsurfing and sailing. Motor water sports such as jet and water-skiing can be enjoyed at "Barragem da Vigia" and "Alqueva".

Activities
Horse riding, shooting, trekking, bird watching, wine tasting, special guided tours and other activities can be organized for our guests. Ballooning in Portugal began in Alentejo: it was chosen as the most suitable region due to the vast plains that are suitable for take off and landing. Waking up in the night to jump into a wicker basket lifted by a balloon into the Alentejo sky is an extraordinary experience as the first rays of the sun light up the plain: miles and miles of land, as far as the eye can see, are filled with brushstrokes of colour. Please contact us for more information.

Riding
There are a couple of horses staying in another prt of the 600 hectare property and horse riding can be organized on request.

Central Alentejo is one of the most authentic areas of Portugal; here you will discover a beauty and a rhythm of life gone from most of the rest of Europe. This is wine country, bull country, shooting country, riding country, and the best produce of Portugal is grown in the many farmsteads around. 'Monte das Fontes' is at a crossroads between Evora, Evoramonte, Borba and Estremoz, all homes to wonderful wines, culinary delights and culture. The magnificent Serra d'Ossa offers many beautiful singposted walking itineraries from the estate.

This is the perfect place for nature lovers, artists, writers, families, friends' gathering or stressed executives needing a real break! This wonderful property set on 600 hectares of land will enable you to enjoy a giant and natural private playground with its own fresh water lake!
