Casa dos Paquetes and Casa do Ferrador

Casa dos Paquetes and Casa do Ferrador, located in Alto Alentejo, in the centre of the village of Terrugem - Elvas, arose from the idea of ​​restoring the house of the current owner's paternal great-grandparents. During the restoration, care was taken to maintain the original design so as not to distort the original solution. The stone and "brick" walls, as well as the flagstone floors and wooden ceilings, were meticulously preserved. Casa dos Paquetes consists of a living room and an air-conditioned entrance hall with exposed "brick" walls and typical wooden ceilings. Whether you choose to stay at home on warmer or colder days, you can enjoy a welcoming atmosphere. Why not watch television, read a good book, or access the internet via the wireless network? The air-conditioned dining room also meticulously preserves the original design. Stone walls and flagstone floors, where a traditional floor fireplace is essential for naturally warming the house on cold winter nights. If the temperature warrants it, light the fireplace and listen to the crackling of the wood. The direct door to the terrace provides a brighter environment where the sounds of nature reach you. Air-conditioned bedroom with a double bed where the stone walls and wooden ceiling structure provide a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, ideal for a refreshing night. Air-conditioned bedroom with two single beds. Stone walls and wooden ceiling structure. Open the bedroom window, look at the garden and enjoy nature as soon as you wake up. The spacious kitchen with a fireplace and typical Alentejo worktop, where traditional chintz curtains are a must. Direct door to the terrace allowing for a brighter environment. Let the scents of nature mingle with the aromas of your cooking. The kitchen is equipped with all appliances, because we want you to save time and effort. Enjoy your leisure days and don't worry about household chores. Spacious and comfortable bathroom with all the features, where we highlight the heated towel rail, to start your day in the best way. If you like to have barbecues with family or friends, take advantage of the terrace and the shade provided by the pergola. Take advantage of local shops and buy good Alentejo meat as well as traditional sausages and cheeses from the region. Enjoy the Alentejo delicacies outdoors while enjoying nature. If you are a friend of nature and the products that the land gives us, enjoy the garden of about 200 m2. Leisure area with swimming pool, attached deck and organic vegetable garden where you can pick the vegetables and aromatic herbs you like best to prepare your favourite dishes. Take the opportunity to relax on the sun loungers in the grassy areas shaded by the laurel tree. The Ferrador house has a separate entrance and access to the garden. Like the Paquetes house, it maintains its original design, offering a spacious bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom equipped with accessories for reduced mobility. We want you to feel good and comfortable, allowing for more direct contact with nature, agriculture, and local traditions, through private hospitality in a rural and family environment – ​​hence our motto "Your home in the Alentejo".
