Castelo de Vide

Guarded by the ancient frontier castles to the East, and nourished by the Tagus River to the North, lie the lush green mountains of the Alto Alentejo, a region untouched since the days of the Romans and Moorish invaders.

In the very hart of this enchanting region of Portugal just a short distance from the medieval town of Castelo de Vide, perched on a mountain top, we have a few properties for sale at the shores of the oldest reservoir of Portugal, the barragem of Povoa e Meadas, an area that belongs to the National Park São Mamede.

There we offer a unique located villa build in the Alentejo style (a former model house) in an area of 10 hectares with its own beach area and a second area with the possibility to make a camping or a caravan park, in particular suited for someone who want to combine pleasure and work.

The town of Castelo de Vide itself, nestled in the São Mamede mountain chain, is one of the most characteristic medieval towns of the region. Its old castle, historical houses (some dating back to the 15th century), the old town wall with its charming entrance gates, and the friendly inhabitants all combine to create a unique atmosphere.

Due to its high vantage point, Castelo de Vide enjoys breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains and valleys of the São Mamede Natural Park, one of Portugal's most beautiful natural reserves, known in characteristic flora and fauna.
Here, amongst the greed clad mountains of chestnut, oak and cork, where tranquility and color blend with impressive grandeur, you can breathe in the pure, fresh air whilst enjoying the many secrets the region has to offer, at your own pace.

Wander along the narrow, winding, cobbled streets of traditional yellow and white painted cottages; explore the plentiful flora and fauna (including wild boar, deer and lynx); visit centuries old monasteries and colorful arts and craft fairs selling naive local pottery and exquisite lace work, or if you are feeling adventurous, tackle the battlements of one of several medieval castles nearby. And if you want to play golf, the nearby town of Marvao offers a magnificent golf course at the foot of the mountains.

And at the end of the day, where better to unwind than soaking in one of Alentejo's famed thermal spas, or simply sipping a cool, crisp, Alentejo white wine while watching the sun setting at your own place.
