Ourique Vacation Rentals

The small town of Ourique is the perfect place to see the Portuguese countryside during your stay in the country. A privately owned farmhouse in Ourique lets you relax surrounded by the beauty of Portugal, while still being close to enough places of interest to keep you entertained during your stay.
This small village is located right in the middle between the Alentejo region and the Algarve, meaning you get the best of both when you stay there! The plains of the north part of the area is contracted by the lush hills of the south, meaning that walking around the village makes for an interesting journey! Even more so when you consider that in the are surrounding Ourique there are several prehistoric remains, including the Bronze Age Necropolis of Atalaia. There's also the Castro da Cola, a settlement dating from Roman times.
Inside the town itself you can find everything you need for a self-catering holiday, with restaurants, a supermarket and shops to find whatever you need. The town also has a beautiful 16th-century Miserichord Church, featuring windows of carved stonework.
Of course when you leave the town for a day out there are plenty of places to go. The small fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar is best known for annual summer Sudoeste Festival where bands from across the world play throughout the day and into the evening. But apart from that, a private rental villa in Zambujeira do Mar lets you feel the sea breeze and enjoy the tranquillity of the Portuguese coast.
Another great place to visit is the city of Santiago do Cacém, which again is an amazing coastal location. Hiking, biking, and all manner of water activities are available with a short term rental cottage in Santiago do Cacém
