1 Bedroom Barn in Alentejo

Reminiscent ot Larkrise to Candleforth, Step back a hundred years and embrace a region of Portugal steeped in history and tradition featuring some of the most spectacular countryside in the Iberian peninsular. Our farmhouse, Casa Lido is situated in a rugged hamlet of white washed stone cottages set amongst ancient Olive Trees. Silveira's population, of just 9 residents enjoy a rural life of tranquility amongst the lush valleys running down to river Tego. Here. explore the many tracks and trails leading from our village or delve further afield to the limestone shards of the Serra de Estrela's 2000m peaks, where you can experience challenging walks leading to a craggy paradise of mossy waterfalls, granite caves and river estuaries fit for summer swimming. If you are looking for total escapism out of the rat race to relax in peace, quiet and tranquillity this is the place for you. It’s arguably the most quintessentially Portuguese part of the country little touched by outside influence.
