Located on a resort close to Montemor-o-Novo, this contemporary villa offers tranquil views of the nearby lake and its own private pool. The interior is very minimal and might not be to everyone's taste, but the large windows ensure you'll get plenty of natural light. The surrounding area is sprawling with hiking trails and wildlife walks, so there's plenty to do if you want to stay active. We recommend hiring a car here for heading into the nearby town and visiting the local wineries and vineyards.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.

This home is managed by Oliver

Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
