We had the most amazing stay, thank you. Andrea and her family were always so helpful and welcoming. The house exceeded our expectations and had all the little extras that make you feel right at home. You were able to purchase local produce from the farm shop which was lovely to be able to take home some really special gifts. The pool area was absolutely amazing, so peaceful with everything at hand and overlooking beautiful countryside. Andrea helped us with restaurant recommendations and also went out of her way to make the bookings for us. Our highlight of the holiday was the goats cheese making. It was a truly unique experience and one we will always treasure. We also had the bonus of a lovely cheeseboard supper. Thank you for such a special holiday, we will definitely be back next time we visit Portugal.

This is a magnificent space where every detail has been thought out. The hosts are very hospitable. I highly recommend taking a tour of the olive farm. This is impressive.

The space is incredible, everything thought out with immense care and attention. Very comfortable with many amenities, everything at our disposal. You can stroll around the property, ride a bike, see the vegetable garden, animals, swimming pool, table football. Lots of options to pass the time.

The place is stunning, located in a very peaceful countryside. There is plenty of space both inside and outside, each room has its own bathroom. We could use bicycles to cycle around Alentejo, nearby villages are very pretty and definitely worth vistiting. The host was extremely kind, shared home grown vegetables and food with us upon arrival. Due to unseen circumstances we were very late for check-in, but the host was still able to accommodate us without any problem. Fantastic place!

Andrea and Andreas were amazing hosts. The experience of being on the farm was magical and fun. The solar-heated saltwater pool was was always the perfect temperature and a lovely way to cool off in the heat of the day. If you ever need anything Andrea and Andreas are always ready to help and the barn where we stayed was spacious and well stocked with everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the olive oil that they make and bought some extra to take home with us. There is plenty to do for the family and don't miss the shooting stars at night. Thank you so much, we hope to visit again one day. Obrigada!

It's really a small oasis in the middle of Alentejo. A rural tourism that combines charm with the simplicity of the countryside. Andrea and Andreas, the owners are 5 stars and make us feel at home! Perfect place to spend holiday with friends or rent for events!

By far the BEST Airbnb I have ever stayed in. Mostly due to the exceptional hosts. They really went the extra mile. We felt at home. Not only were we welcomed with complimentary wet towels upon arrival (which felt incredible given the heat of Alentejo) as there was also a freshly baked peach pie, a basket of vegetables and a wine bottle awaiting us at "home". The kitchen was fully equipped, not a thing was missing (salt, pepper, garlic, laurel leaves, olive oil, coffee etc etc (those basics that more often than not are missing from so many Airbnb's and pose enormous difficulties and constraints))... simply amazing. The common area was like a paradise: an infinity pool, ping pong table, palm trees.. we were lucky enough that the other guest house was vacant so we had the pool all to ourselves. The "splendid oasis" is located in the middle of nowhere, absolute peace. At night you can only hear the crickets and sheep. If you look at the sky you will say the milky way perfectly. Indescribable. I highly recommend it.

A little paradise to relax and feel good - highly recommended! Everything a toddler needs was on site: high table, children's dishes, baby bed, baby bath towel, toys, swimming gear, playground... and of course plenty of space to explore: chicken run, sheep, mule, neighbor's goats, picking lemons...

A gorgeous gem in deep Alentejo, tastefully decorated with local motifs, with impeccable facilities and the friendliest hosts, who welcome you with the same care they put into their lovely property.
We loved the warm pool, the tree house, the ancient olive trees as far as the eye could see from our shaded porch, and the cottage - especially the kitchen, that welcomed us with delicious vegetables and eggs from the farm.
There's a peaceful asian shrire at the top of the hill, and even a gym (with AC). Toys hidden around for the children, and memorable experiences for everyone - making cheese was a highlight.
Thank you Andrea and Andreas for your generous hospitality. We look forward to the next time!

The highlight of our first visit to Portugal so far. Outstanding setting with peaceful sheep grazing outside the kitchen door, a friendly and well mannered cat, thoughtful and interesting hosts, a charming groundskeeper, and delightful beds. We enjoyed fantastic dinners cooked in the well apportioned kitchen, and coffees on the sunny veranda in the morning, cooling our toes at poolside. Outstanding in every way.

What an amazing week we spent with Andreas and Andrea on their beautiful farm! Wonderful, gracious hosts on a truly magical property -- beautifully developed and perfectly maintained, in a stunning corner of Alentejo. It's even more gorgeous than the photos can convey: a peaceful, rural retreat with thoughtful touches in every corner, that offers lots of possibilities for exploration in the region. We loved our time here and hope to come back soon.
Thank you Andrea & Andreas

The guesthouse is absolutely stunning. The property’s owners renovated the barn with a lot of taste and thought for detail. Andreas and Andrea are the kindest hosts ever! They generously invited us for a BBQ the first evening to get to know us and transferred their love for the region by explaining us everything about the land and the art of producing good quality organic olive oil. The spacious house, the terrace, the comfi porch, the beautiful pool and the quiet surroundings allowed us to wind down from our day to day life. We did day trips to the surrounding cities and archeological sites of the region, also the longest beach of the area can be reached within one hour drive. Very handy is that there are 4 restaurants in the next village ;-) This is the perfect place to stay with your family, with friends or even on a course! All double beds can be transformed to single beds, I could therefore imagine to organize a retreat on this magical property... We enjoyed it lots and will be back for sure!!

​Heaven! Andrea and Andreas are fantastic hosts who have created a magical oasis in the Alentejo countryside that must be seen and felt to be believed. As lovely as the photos are, they simply cannot do justice to this beautiful property. The setting is truly gorgeous, extremely private, and oozing good vibes. The farmhouse is spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated -- abounding with thoughtful touches that make the experience unforgettable. This is a working farm that offers amazing olive oil (really, the best!), incredible fresh produce, daily eggs from a pack of cute clucking chickens, and other delicious farm products for sale (jams, vinegar, etc). On top of it all, the pool is simply divine. This was our 2nd stay at the Farmhouse and we plan to return as soon as we can! Highly recommended.

The Farm House proposed by Andrea and Andreas on their farm is a haven of peace as one would like to visit many times. The landscape is splendid with the centuries-old olive trees and the calm is supreme. The house is super well-equipped and maintained. Nothing is missing. The pool is worthy of a large hotel and you can find ping pong or foosball or a children's playground.
The oil produced on the premises is to be dropped. We brought it back with us and will promote it. In short, a great regret to have to leave Andrea and Andreas after a week in paradise.
Looking forward to seeing you again one day… who knows?

This is one of the most exquisite properties I have ever stayed in. It’s absolutely heaven. The villas and property represent the beauty of Alentejo. We stayed in the Barn, which is like going back in time but with modern amenities. It’s beautiful. Everything is gorgeously decorated. The property even has a well-appointed gym. I enjoyed walking the enormous property with my sister. Then there is the pool…unbelievable! It’s paradise. There is a kitchen with drinks and snacks by the pool. The best part of our stay was the owners Andrea and Andreas. Their love of the property and the villas is sincere and endearing. They truly use the olives, the vegetable and flower gardens, and the care of the animals in an organic manner. We loved the fresh eggs! They are lovely and gracious. Andreas took part in our group on a tour of olive oil production. The oil is perfect. Andrea has delicious homemade granola and jams in a cute shop. Thank you Andrea and Andreas for four days of heaven. See you soon.We loved everything.​

When you were in paradise words cannot quite describe what you felt or lived. Herdade dos Alfanges is truly a paradise. Not only the Herdade itself and the surrounding Alentejo breathtaking light and landscape but Andrea and Andreas, the owners, are the most welcoming and warming hosts you could ever dream of. We hosted our small marriage at the Herdade dos Alfanges because of all the above reasons and it was the best decision we could have ever made. We, our family and friends were marvelled by the amazing conditions and support provided by our hosts and their property. You can really feel the energy flowing from the elements in that land and it is something we cannot quite describe other than to highly recommend to all that read this review to go there without hesitations. We will surely come back! Once again, to Andrea and Andreas, thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!

There are not many words to describe this little piece of paradise that Andrea and Andreas share with us. Everything is perfect, beautiful, calm, serene. The house has been designed with excellent taste, and you feel at home as soon as you enter it. The kitchen is a family kitchen where everything is at your disposal to cook as if you were at home. Nothing is missing. The rooms are beautiful, and you can sleep in them wonderfully well. The view from the living room or bedrooms is magnificent. Oaks, olive trees as far as the eye can see and of course the hundreds of sheep that graze. You will have the chance some evenings to see the shepherd and his border collars bring the herd back to the sound of the ship bells. The swimming pool is magnificent, and you can admire the sunsets or rest in the hammocks or deckchairs at your disposal. Andrea also provides you with swimming pool towels with small customisation that has charmed us a lot. But all this would be nothing without the kindness and thoughtful but daily attention of Andreas and Andrea. We have the impression of being with our family, and we feel how much they like to share and welcome. They are there to make your stay the best in the world. Always at your disposal to advise us on places to visit, restaurants, to book, to order some pizzas, to buy excellent local wines. And I don't mention all the exceptional moments we were able to spend together, not to mention Francesca and Sandra, two Italian and German interns with whom we were also able to make friends. Finally, our last ten-year-old son was able to evolve freely and get the fresh eggs from the henhouse in the morning, as well as the vegetables from the garden to allow us to prepare beautiful fresh and 100% organic salads! We had the chance to meet Andrea and Andreas because it's a chance, believe it! We hope to come back one day for the Alentejo, the quietude of the house and the landscapes and especially to be able to spend some beautiful moments with Andrea and Andreas again. Thank you for everything.
