About the home
The house Casa da Avó is fully equipped with washing machine and all the appliances and utensils found in a well furnished kitchen, as well as TV, DVD reader and central heating.
Maria José Carvalho and her daughter Mónica McGill decided to rebuild an estate that has been in the family for over 200 years. From a pile of ruins, they erected these independent houses.
One could not ask for a better setting. As it was mentioned before, it overlooks the Mira River allowing its guests to enjoy breathtaking views. Some of the best ones can be enjoyed from the salt water swimming pool area. Guests can walk the trails surrounding Monte do Zambujeiro, along the river shore or the surrounding fields, or relax on a hammock overlooking the river while listening to the numerous songbirds that populate the valley. Guests can also use and enjoy an outdoor barbecue area with a fully equipped small kitchen, also overlooking the river.
A visit to the several beaches around Vila Nova de Milfontes is also a must. Some of them have support infrastructures and lifeguard services, others are wild and empty. Vila Nova de Milfontes offers all kinds of services and amenities so that tourists may enjoy pleasant and fun holidays: from restaurants and bars to shopping, nightlife and much more.

The Alentejo region


It’s beaches, hills and endless plains. It’s cork, olive oil, wine – and a great deal of space left over for simple nature, rosemary and lavender.
It’s a proud people, a forgotten history; it’s discrete creativity, it’s the quivering tranquillity of life.
It’s like the magician’s top hat delved into all the time: out pop rugs, cowbells, tasty titbits. It holds humour, patience, bonhomie; and so much sagacity that, so well developed, catches lovers and the rash in the mesh of a slumbering philosophy that is not without its risks.
It’s a subtly knotted web that stretches out and makes it harder to go away. For those who have been here and for those who live here. So much is left behind, so much that has not been tasted…
It’s a painless yearning, a feeling that brings to each hardy day a secret taste, an inebriating sensation that, quite close by, one can find paradise lost.
Lying within the grasp of all, the Alentejo is a closed coffer the key to which lies in one’s heart.
