Save to favouritesPrintMailCasa de TerenaA small untouched village that basks in the hot Alentejo sun. At the top of the hill, once the bishop’s manor house, Casa de Terena stands bathed in bougainvillea, shaded by the castle walls. The house is impeccable in every way, be it the vaulted brick roof in the sitting room, the marble stairs ‘rescued’ from a Roman temple (Julius Caesar visited in 43 BC), Stella’s fabulous pottery, or paintings from all over the world that fill the walls and alcoves. Quietly chic [r:PO013:bedrooms] extol the virtues of uncluttered simplicity. Those at the back have huge views across olive groves to the Lucefecit reservoir and hills; those at the front have Juliet balconies serenading the castle. Help yourself to a drink, then potter across the cobbled lane and sit at a table outside the old church; don’t expect to be disturbed by cars. Jeremy can organise incredible diversions: mountain-bike safaris, canoe trips up river gorges, visits to local wineries, dinner on the castle ramparts. If you yearn to escape the crowds in a blissful pocket of undiscovered Europe, apply within.
