Monte do Corvo

The House

The house, a project by the studio Aires Mateus, is a traditional Alentejo countryside house, restored with care and respect for its original spaces materials and atmosphere. The whole house is whitewashed. Floor is paved with handmade clay blocks. The large buttresses, the wide chimneys, and the shales stones anchor the house to the ground and to tradition. Spaces are generous in dimension, light and ambience. The two hectares’ land offer sunny spaces shadowed by cork trees, a white pool and amazing views to the country-side and the ocean. A relieved cross on a chimney marks the house since 1936.

The house has a fully equipped kitchen and a common living room with a long wooden table and a sofa. Two suites are at your disposal. Each suite has a lounge with a sofa and a huge window overlooking the countryside, an intimate alcove bedroom (one queen bed or two twin beds), a bathroom and an external shower. An extra bed can be provided in each suite. Handmade furniture, natural fabrics and Portuguese art pieces from all times provide a timeless and unique ambience.
