Beach house - Vila Nova Milfontes- AlentejoHouse with character

Milfontes is a long way from Scotland, but it was worth the journey. Beautiful place and lovely and warm. We enjoyed the beaches, the walks and the wild flowers. Nice cafes and restaurants in the town and area. And the house was just right for us. Everything we needed. A home from home!

Really enjoyed our stay. House had everything needed, truly a home from home. Communication with the owner was excellent from the very start. The property is situated a short walk from some excellent restaurants, pastry shops and beaches. Walks along the stunning coastline can be started from the house or many more of the other stunning areas are a short drive a short drive away. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Nice little house where won't miss anything in a silent area. Stores and markets nearby. You can easily walk. A wonderful region especially for hikers and surfers. Perfect beaches. Good restaurants and really not a bit expensive. But be careful the food is fine but the quantity is unbelievable immense. The only reason to feel a little bit sad about: We hadn't the chance to meet our wonderful hostess Graça. We hadn't any problems but if, be sure she would have solved them ;-).

We absolutely loved this house! The rooms were cozy and well decorated. We felt right at home. It was very nice to grill and eat outside enjoying the nice weather and the privacy of the terrace. The property is walking distance from the historic part of the town, beach, local farmers market and all the major atractions. We particularly enjoyed the walks along the dunes! We also drove to the other side of the town and explored nature on its pure state! As a family of 6 we couldn't have found a better arrangement in a town as lovely as Vila Nova de Milfontes is!

We spent a great week in Vila Nova de Milfontes in this place. The house is well located, in walking distance to the city centre, the beach and the mercato. The house is well furnished with a beautiful living room, an open kitchen, good equipment, two beautiful bedrooms and a nice backyard. The landlord, Graca, was very kind and helpful, also her reccomendations for things to do. The region is great, pretty calm and relaxed, spectacular beaches - some with wild waves, some perfectly ok for kids. You can rent a canoe to ride on the Rio Mira, in Vila Nova or in Odemira, to cruise further into the Alentejo. Obviously you can also ride the bike or do some hiking. Even though we were there in the main holiday season it wasn't too crowded, especially compared to other European holiday regions. Vila Nova itself is nice and cosy, good restaurants and shops.

The house was just like in the descriptions on the website. The kitchen set-up is great and there was everything one could hope for in terms of utensils etc. There were plenty of towels and sheets. Both bathrooms have good showers. The backyard was our second living room. There is a BBQ that we used almost every night. The neighbourhood was quiet. A wonderful market with frest produce and fish is just around the corner, as well as supermarkets and great restaurants offering local specialties. The owner was very quick in responding and made us feel more than welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking relaxing holidays on the amazing coast of Alentejo.

We had a wonderful stay in Milfontes. The house was ideal, with plenty of space and a lovely courtyard at the back for BBQs and eating out.

This is a spacious, well decorated property, well equipped and furnished with interesting artifacts from the owners travels. We enjoyed the large terrace for eating outdoors. The owner was very helpful both before and during our visit, and provides comprehensive information about the area. There are good beaches both in the town, and within 20-30 minutes drive. There are also plenty of places to eat out within Milfontes, which can be very busy in August. We found this to be a very enjoyable place for a family holiday.

The villa is really comfortable,and has everything we could possibly think of. We enjoyed barbeques in the cozy little garden and the fish shop with a great selection of fish is very near by. The local beaches are beautiful and only a short walk from the house. A great coffee shop with an amazing ice creams and cakes is also only a few minutes away. Vila Nova de Milfontes is is very nice little town with lovely restaurants and cute shops. The owner is very helpful and we had a fantastic holiday.

A very comfortable, well-equipped house in a quiet part of the town. Excellent restaurant within 400 metres, and very good beaches. Surrounding area is beautiful. The owner was very helpful; we recommend this house without hesitation.
