They produce olive oil and also have a black sheep flock, a horse, donkey and mule which graze around freely. Wildflowers, butterflies and varied birdlife abound. This is a paradise for walkers, mountain bikers, bird-watchers and explorers. From the farm, there are views of the medieval fortified village of Marvão, perched upon its craggy hill-top.

We spent a week at Peter and Rosemary's lovely BnB and we could have stayed longer! The home itself is beautiful with a fully appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and a cozy atmosphere. We lucked out on warm weather, so we spent most of our time on the porch, with gorgeous views of the surrounding area, and in the pool. What a great way to relax after a day of touring local towns and riding horses through the countryside. We also found the local hiking trail that provided a fun way to see the history and beauty of the countryside. It was walkable to the trail from the BnB. Peter and Rosemary are amazing hosts. They welcomed us so warmly and made us feel at home. We enjoyed their friendship and their hospitality. We would absolutely come back to their place when visiting Portugal again.
Een prachtige locatie als je van rust en natuur houdt.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage on Peter & Rosemary's farm. The property was perfect for us: peace and quiet, beautiful views, birds everywhere... Very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and a nice welcome pack when we got there. To Peter & Rosemary : it was very nice talking to you and spending time with Zara and Isla :-) Thank you for your hospitality and we hope the sheering went well! We hope to come back.
Peter and Rosemary are delightful. The cottage was perfect for us - comfy and clean. Also there was a little pack of food including a bottle of local wine, fruit and cake which was very welcome after our long drive. The outside space was ideal for us and our dog. Plenty of seating. Huge pool was v clean. There were leaflets with beautiful walks in the hills which we used and restaurant recommendations which were v useful. A pretty peaceful garden with fruit trees and nightingales and golden orioles singing in the trees. Just such a lovely place to relax after a day exploring. Recommend!
We absolutely fell in love with Portugal and this spectacular place. This 3 day stay was my family’s favorite part of our vacation. Peter and Rosemary were the sweetest, kindest and warm people. The location was magical and set in such beautiful landscapes. There was plenty to do including hike the property, visit Marvão and other adorable towns around the area. My favorite was Avalon the horse visiting us for apples and some loving throughout the day. My daughters loved the 5 beautiful and sweet working dogs. We saw so many birds and wildflowers. The place was clean, warm and had plenty of space for my family of 4 to spread out. The kitchen had everything we could have needed. Everything was really perfect and we definitely want to come back!!
房源位置
The hills of the Alentejo, in which the São Mamede Natural Park is located are just two hours inland from Lisbon on Portugal’s border with central Spain, and are widely recognised as one of Europe’s most beautiful and unspoilt areas.
The hills run along the border and spill over into Spanish Extremadura as the Sierra de San Pedro, with the highest point at 1,025 metres, Pico de Sao Mamede.
It is a magical region of wooded hills, rocky crests and fertile valleys, criss-crossed with mediaeval tracks and archaeological remains – a region where time has simply stood still.
Life has changed little in the picturesque white-washed villages where sausages, bread, cheeses and regional wines are still produced in traditional ways, and local produce feeds the communities.
Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede
The Serra de Såo Mamede, a Natural Park since 1989, is at the junction of the Mediterranean and Atlantic climatic zones giving a diverse fauna and flora typical of both.
Cork oak woodlands and olive groves mingle with sweet chestnut and Pyrenean oak, and botanists will be interested in the numerous types of wild flowers here.
It is also a fascinating area for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers being home to abundant wildlife such as mongoose, wolf, lynx, wild boar and over 120 resident and migratory bird species including several species of vultures, and eagles including Imperial and the Bonellis Eagle, the Park’s emblem.
This beautiful mountain range separates the drainage basin of the Tagus to the north from the basin of the Guadiana to the south. The main rivers that have their sources in this range are the rivers Sever and Nisa, flowing towards the Tagus, as well as the Caia River and its tributary, the Arronches, flowing towards the Guadiana.
The town of Marvão is an ancient fortified town located on a ridge of the range. Its emblematic castle is an archetype of medieval castle-building. It dates back to the times of the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. Besides Marvão, Portalegre, Castelo de Vide, Arronches and Alegrete are other towns in the area worth a visit.

自我介绍
Peter and Rosemary have been farming sheep and olives in the Alentejo for more than 25 years. We have a rural tourism business and are involved in Nature Conservation in the Natural Park. They enjoy the sunny Portuguese weather, the very special nearby towns of Marvão and Castelo de Vide, and delicious local produced food and wines. Marvão is very scenic and a wonderful area for exploring by foot or bike or by car. Its fun to cross the nearby border and enjoy the Spanish culture and tapas!
