Alentejo Vacation Rentals

Alentejo — one of the most ecologically protected regions of Portugal and the most promising one for the tourists who are in search of peace and quietness, fresh air, and warm people.
The Alentejo Area is in fact (together with the Azores Islands) the most pure and environmental preserved region of Portugal. It's the country zone, the hunting and the wildest area. And its only 1h30m away from Lisbon and about 40 minutes from Spain, served by the very best highways and roadways.
In the Alentejo, you may find the finest, honest and pure minded people. You can find castles, Palaeolithic "antas" and old Roman bridges. You can also visit old villages and the city of Évora that is a world heritage protected city by UNesco.
The Algarve is loosing the interest of foreign investment, since prices have rose to unaffordable levels. There is a developing process going on in Alentejo now. There are more than ten new approved projects of 18 hole golf courses within a radius of about 50km of Água d’Alte (two of them within a 10 minute ride). The Alqueva Dam – the biggest European artificial lake, with a perimeter of more than 1100km – has brought to the Alentejo, some of the most important investment companies of the world and the attention of the foreign media.
