Casa Belmeque can be found in the tiny village of Pras, in the heart of the countryside of east Portugal. The nearest international airport is Faro on the south coast, a scenic journey through the Alentejano olive groves to your holiday home. Local shops for provisions and family-run restaurants are within walking distance and walks in nature are on your doorstep. The area is renowned for its wine production; visit a vineyard and take home a couple of bottles of the local vintage. The traditional cuisine is also famous for its regional dishes of migas, acordas, and homemade sausages.

For a taste of city life, head to Beja, where there is a thirteenth-century castle, a museum, and a Roman Temple dedicated to Diana. Seek solace in the gothic-style Convent of Sao Fransico, which also houses the Museum of Queen Leonor.

Explore the local area, most notably the Alqueva Dam, Europe’s largest artificial lake, with opportunities for boating, fishing, and water activities. Go bird watching in the Castro Verde and spot the great bustard. Make sure you ask about local festivals and events, of which there are many throughout the year.

And if you really want to venture further afield, you can always cross the border into nearby Spain.
