We had a wonderful time at Luminoso, the place is great, extremely well equipped and the pool is excellent. It's a bit isolated (you won't be able to see anything during the night except the stars) but that suits us just fine. Charlotte was lovely and made us feel right at home, great place for kids as they can walk around freely outside. 10/10 would recommend

Chegar ao Monte Luminoso foi como chegar a casa. O local é paradisíaco, calmo, isolado e com imenso espaço em redor. A Charlotte foi muito acolhedora e deixou-nos à vontade desde o primeiro minuto. A casa é fantástica, espaçosa, confortável e gostámos muito do recurso a energias renováveis. Adorámos os animais. Foram dias muito bem passados apesar de não termos tido ocasião de utilizar a piscina.

Nice quiet place for total relaxation in rural area. Very lovely hosts and fully equipped house. Beautiful pool and views. We would come again anytime.

This is one of those places that you'd almost want to give a bad review just so that no other people will come and you can keep it all to yourself ;) But let's be honest: this place is amazing, and so are is Charlotte. She did all she could to give us a peaceful holiday, lending us her binoculars to birdwatch, offering air matresses for the pool etc. The house is new and well-equipped, the wifi is strong, there's a satellite TV, the views are absolutely breathtaking and so is the private pool. There's great opportunities for families with children as well, e.g. horse riding, patting the dogs etc. The neighborhood is very remote but in a good way (gorgeous fields everywhere you look), and after about 3 km dirtroad you arrive at a very accessible road which takes you to the beach and quaint little whitewashed towns in about 1-1,5 hours. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for some time to get away from it all, swim, relax, enjoy the sunsets. We will be back someday!

We had a fantastic time- everything we needed was there and the location is idyllic. Perfect for a family wanting an easy, relaxed holiday.

We had a wonderful time at Luminoso. We enjoyed very much the cosy house, the fireplace, the very well kept surroundings, the silence, the rustic area, being close to the animals (horses, sheep, cows,...), the nice walks and the light and the sun. Charlotte and Hans were very pleasant hosts. Our daughters also liked very much these short vacations in deep Alentejo. We hope to come back in another time and we will talk about this lovely spot to our friends as well.

Charlotte was a dream to deal with right from the start. Replied to the emails and questions we had very quickly. The directions that she sent us were perfect and very helpful. The house was super clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a relaxing time in Alentejo. It was our honeymoon and the Charlotte went above and beyond. The pool, views and terraces were lovely and we will be back! Thank you so much for sharing your Alentejo retreat with us.

Probably the best kept secret in Portugal! Absolutelly a paradise in a complete comfortable silence. Just perfect!

Un lugar muy agradable, cuidaron todos los detalles y nos esperaron hasta que llegamos a pesar de ser ya tarde. La casa está bien equipada y teníamos todo lo que podríamos haber necesitado. Éramos tres personas y estuvimos muy a gusto allí. Elisabete, Joao y su hija encantadores. El único problema fue que el precio no se ajustó a lo que aparece en la información de airbnb, en principio cuando consultamos eran 35€ por noche, luego vimos que eran 40€ y finalmente nos cobraron 45€ por noche.

Elisabete y Joao son una pareja encantadora, muy atentos, detallistas y amables en todo momento. Estuvimos muy a gusto en la casa, tranquila y acogedora. Muy recomendable! Obrigado! Elisabete and Joao are a lovely, very helpful, and friendly couple. We were very comfortable in the house, quiet and cozy. Highly recommended! I Obrigado!

The whole family was there to meet us when we arrived. They were lovely and welcoming, very friendly and helpful, pointing out things in the house and showing us information about what we could see and do in the area. They also told us about a very nice local friendly restaurant which opened late (we arrived about 21.45) and had delicious local pork on the menu. It was a great introduction to Portugal and its welcoming people.

Excellent accueil, maison correspondant parfaitement à ce qui était décrit. L'hôte nous a même laissé deux bouteilles afin que nous puissions découvrir les vins de la région. Séjour très agréable.

We spend a week at Sandra and Ben's place and we just loved it. The house is simple but well equipped - we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It is clean and comfortable with good facilities. Small kitchen works perfect, clean bedrooms and a cosy living room. The location of the house is amazing - it's a perfect place to disconnect and enjoy nature. The view is spectacular and everything around it is quiet and peaceful. It was lovely to listen to the birdsong. Our son enjoyed being outside and especially helping Sandra to feed the animals on her farm.  Thank you Sandra!  Sandra and Ben are very friendly, helpful and made us feel right at home. They were extremely easy to communicate with and responded immediately when we contacted them. Thank you for the great time at your house! We just loved staying here, hundred percent recommend it!

Passámos umas férias fantásticas nesta casa! Tem tudo o que precisamos para relaxar e esquecer a confusão da cidade! Recomendo vivamente para quem tem crianças. O contacto com a natureza, com a piscina e com os animais é do melhor que há! A casa está muito bem equipada. A Sandra e o Ben têm uma disponibilidade incrível par os miúdos! Mostraram-nos os cavalos, os burros, os patos, as galinhas e os porcos! O Ben trazia-nos ovos frescos todos os dias! A casa fica isolada, sem vizinhança a atrapalhar o nosso descanso. O monte fica a 10 minutos de Ourique onde há um parque infantil e supermercado. Vamos de certeza repetir a experiência!

Nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement par Benoît. Malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu rencontrer Sandra faute de temps. Nous sommes tombés dans une période très froide, mais nous imaginons que l'endroit est idyllique à la belle saison.

Nous sommes venus passer une semaine dans l'Alentejo pour profiter de la campagne et l'idée de passer un peu de temps à la ferme nous a beaucoup enthousiasmé. Nous avons passé trois jours dans le petit Monte et trois autres jours dans le plus grand. Les deux bâtiments sont situés sur une immense propriété de près de 20 hectares, composée de pâturages vallonnés pour les animaux de la ferme. C'était formidable de se trouver entourés de moutons, d'ânes et de chevaux qui viennent brouter à proximité des maisons et de se réveiller au chant des coqs. Nous nous sommes promenés dans les environs, il y a une très jolie rivière dans le bas de la propriété et nous avons cheminé à cheval (fournis gracieusement par les hôtes et compris dans le prix) sur les chemins de terre du côté de Castro da Cola, c'est très sauvage et authentique, un vrai dépaysement. Nous nous sommes aussi rendus en Algarve et sur la côte Vincentina pour voir de belle plages et manger une dorade grillée. Les plages sont à environ 45 minutes en voiture et c'est très simple d'accès depuis la propriété. Les hôtes, Sandra et Benoit sont formidables, super sympathiques et ont étés très disponibles pour nous faire passer un moment très réussis en leur compagnie. Nous avons pu approcher les animaux sans problème et monter les chevaux à notre guise, puisque nous avons déjà un peu d'expérience dans l'équitation. Les petits déjeuners sont servis à domicile et sont compris également dans le tarif. Sandra est venue nous déposer tous les matins un petit panier sur la terrasse avec des produits essentiellement de la ferme ou de la région. Œufs frais des poules de la propriété, confitures maison, orange pressées, fromages frais... et même du jambon cru produit à la ferme à partir des cochons noirs élèves sur la propriété, un vrai régal ! (pour les amateurs). Le petit Monte est en cours de rénovation et nous avons donc occupé la partie rénovée qui comporte deux chambres, mais ce petit corps de ferme en comptera apparement quatre lorsque tous les travaux seront terminés. C'est une bâtisse typique de la région et très bien arrangée. La maison est très confortable, très propre et la décoration est très bien réussie. C'est très joli et possède beaucoup de cachet. Le jardin est très soigné par Sandra qui affectionne particulièrement le jardinage et la décoration. Il y a deux terrasses, une à l'est et l'autre à l'ouest, ce qui fait que l'on peut profiter du soleil à n'importe quel moment de la journée. Il y a également une piscine. Nous avons passé un séjour formidable, dépaysant et ressourçant. C'est sûr, nous reviendrons. Un grand merci à Sandra et Benoit pour leur hospitalité et leur gentillesse. Françoise et Steph

We had a wonderful week in this cozy cottage. We could explore rural life in Alentejo in a comfotable way. The house has everything you need, including a livingroom with a very comfortable big couch and a great fireplace which kept us warm during the freezing nights. Due to the winter season we didn't use the pool but this must be wonderful during summer time. Sandra and Ben are fanatstic hosts who were very attentive. For example, they took care of the woodfire before we arrived so we could easily settle in an alerady heated house. We also enjoyed their fresh farm products and recommendations for excusrsion and other activities. I was very happy to ride their horse on trails around the area and meet the other animals at the farm. We loved to stay there and enjoyed our holidays in the serenity of the Alentejo.

Haber pasado unos días aquí ha sido excelente. Un lugar tranquilo, sin TV y sin ruidos para un mayor contacto con la naturaleza. La casa amplia, limpia y no falta de nada. Las playas del Algarve a 1 hora y sobre todo, mucho relax. Totalmente recomendable.

We had an amazing time at Pego Do Linho. Jackie and Neal were wonderful hosts, truly friendly and willing to help. They came to pick us up from Ourique bus station and drove us back, which was really nice of them as we didn't know how to get to their location. The 7 hectare property is a haven of peace, there are so many little spots to discover on a sunny and hot day. If you want to be in a remote guest house, we would totally recommend to stay at Jackie's! And their four dogs are just adorable!

Jaquie and Neal (and their 4 lovely dogs) were very open and full of hospitality and concern. We realy enjoyed our stay, which was far too short for the beautiful and pure country-seat.

P-A-R-A-D-I-S-E on earth! We felt in love with the landscape and the place so quickly...the amazing river, colours, animals, the cutest dogs..(adopted by super nice parents Jaquie and Neil) nature..you will not want to leave..guaranteed! The place is comfy with all you need and we enjoyed sooo much the morning breakfasts on the terrace and the views, so we did the nice talks wih Jaquie and Neil! Really fun and passionate people who will share their love for nature and animals with you! We are back for sure...i hope as soon as possible!

Jacquie et Neal nous ont très bien accueillis. La propriété est vraiment magnifique et calme. La guesthouse est très bien agencée et décorée. Leur 4 chiens sont adorables et très calin. Nous avons vraiment apprécié ce week-end reposant dans un cadre sauvage dépaysant, dans le respect de la nature. Merci beaucoup à nos hôtes et leurs compagnons!

Geweldige locatie midden in de natuur. Prachtig, modern huis met groot terras met geweldig uitzicht. Leuke eigenaren. Een aanrader voor wie van rust en natuur houdt. Wij houden van vogels spotten, in dit gebied zijn ze volop. Wij komen zeker terug!

EN This house is just perfect, very spacious, amazing views, in a very beautiful location surrounded by trees and a beautiful river where you can swim. We felt at home since we arrived and had everything we need. The location of the house is very good, one hour drive to the best beaches of Portugal and 10 min to Ourique, a beatiful village where the food is awesone. Jacquie and Neal (the hosts) are lovely, always helping if needed. Thank you very much for everything, we'll be back soon! ES La casa es increíble, las calidad es buenísima. Tiene unas vistas impresionantes y es comodísima. Puedes nadar en el río, a 50 metros, pasear por el campo en un entorno maravilloso o conducir una hora para llegar a la mejores playas de Portugal. Tiene todo lo que puedes necesitar para estar unos días, y la brisa contínua suaviza mucho las temperaturas. Jacquie y Neal son maravillosos, muy acogedores y serviciales, gracias por todo! Volveremos :)

Jacquie & Neal are excellent hosts: friendly, relaxed and informative, particularly in relation to nature & wildlife, both on their lovely property and in the surrounding area. The cottage is beautifully situated and private, very peaceful and comfortable, with wonderful views of the surrounding landscape. We had a great time and have no hesitation in recommending this as a place to stay, particular for nature lovers looking for rural seclusion.

A casa da Marta é perfeita para uma semana sossegada, à beira de longos caminhos nos prados, com as oliveiras e os campos. Marta e a sua família são pessoas acolhedoras, e isto sente-se na casa, que é simples e confortável. Espero voltar em breve nesse pied-à-terre alentejano, bem descrito nas fotos, sim, só é preciso acrescentar a presença tranquila do gado, nos prados a volta, coisa bonita. Enfim, o essencial, para trabalhar ou para descansar, mesmo.

Espaço perfeito para quem quer descanso com a familia. os senhores foram muito simpáticos e prestáveis. casa equipada para umas ferias de puro lazer e divertimento. as crianças adoraram o ar do campo, os animais e os dias na piscina limpa :) irei certamente repetir a viagem :D muito obrigada.

S'était une très belle expérience dans un endroit magnifique et calme. La maison est entourée de nature et d'animaux, dépaysement total. Petit conseil : n'hésitez pas à admirer une fois la nuit tombées, les étoiles, vue à 360° sur le ciel ;-)

This was the greatest Airbnb experience we've had so far, and we've had some. Jan was very kind on receiving us late in the evening, she came to show us the way by car - you'll need one to move about. The place is on a top of a hill, it's very calm and beautiful, the sheeps and other animals bring their farm flavor and our 6-year-old loved to take care of the lambs. Big pool is a great plus during the hot days and BBQ is perfect to grill some fresh fish for the evenings. The hosts are a wonderful couple with whom we enjoyed chatting a lot, although we had our privacy at all times. They took care of everything for us like family members, even thou they worked long days on the farm. They even bought a new blender to make baby food, and sheets we're changed ones during our two week stay. I highly recommend this place specially for families with children, who wish to spend relaxed vacations and live like the locals. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness, Jan & Simon!

The stay on Jan& Simon's farm was exactly what we had hoped for. A clean and cozy house with privacy, an incredible view over the lovely pool and having a BBQ under a starry nightsky. It's the perfect spot for anyone who wants to forget all worries for a while.

This is a fantastic place if you want to be in a rural setting. I loved it! I was made to feel very welcome and yet felt it was all very private. There was food in the fridge when I arrived. Both Simon and Jan welcomed me and told me to make sure to ask if I needed anything. The pool was wonderfully, sparkingly clean. I couldn't really have asked for anything more. Thank you!!!

this is the most wonderful place - high up on a hill with amazing views and the cleanest freshest air I've ever breathed - on a working farm with lots of different animals around (I was lucky enough to be there during lambing) - and I woke up to the sound of the sheep bells. Fantastic hosts.

Amazing place. Jan was very helpful and kind. The house is very nice with everything you could need. The top place to rest.

Super appartement : très spacieux pour 2 personnes, propre, très bien équipé. De plus il est facile de se garer dans les alentours. Je recommande vivement celui ci.

We really enjoyed our stay! Awesome apartment, clean, spacious, 3 balconies and close to restaurants. Nothing else we needed during our stay! The host was also very responsive and helpfull.

Very nice place. They did a great job with the building. One of the nicer places I've stayed.

Very nice apartment - comfortable and well equipped. Walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Great location. Very nice apartment.

Brand new and very nice apartment.

Nice brand new apartment in a nice old town. A couple of nice restaurants down the road. For us it was a great stop on the way to Lisbon. I recommend it.
