Your home in the heart of Alentejo
The house of Paquetes located in Alto Alentejo, in the village of Terrugem - Elvas arises from the recovery idea of the house of his paternal great-grandparents of the current owner. Upon his recovery, there was a concern of keeping the original design so as not to detract from the original solution. The stone walls and "dumb brick", as well as paving flags floors and wooden ceilings have been carefully preserved. Consisting of living room, air-conditioned entrance hall with walls of "dumb brick" to view and coffered ceilings with wooden structure. If you choose to stay at home on the hottest or coldest days, you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere. Why not watch TV, read a good book, or access the Internet through the wireless network. Heated Dining Room where the original architecture was carefully preserved.

An Excellent Village House
Great vllage house with full amenities incl terrace and swimming pool, wonderful & warm host. Great value! Thanks Alexandra.
The only 1 thing that bordered me staying there is that there are so many flies around and they get into the house easily. We had to constantly guard against them during meals.

Uma casa tranquila
Fomos à procura de tranquilidade e foi o que encontrámos. Apesar de se situar em Terrugem parece que estamos no meio do campo! Uma casa em que nada falta, muito bem equipada e tudo de qualidade! Recomenda-se ;)
