CASANACOLINA

A Casa na Colina (The House-on-the-Hill) is a traditional Portuguese farmworker's cottage in the Alentejo hills, in the tiny village of Besteiros. Set in the Sao Mamede Natural Park, in an area of cork oaks and eucalyptus forest with endless walking tracks, it is four kilometres from the Spanish border. The house has a pool and is a fabulous spot to relax and unwind in a rural area that has changed little in the last fifty years.
