Holiday rentals in Alter do Chão

We really enjoyed our two night stay at the house in Crato. Our host was very kind, proactive, supportive and helpful. He also spoke excellent English which made things very easy. The house itself is very charming...very old and newly renovated, with all of the facilities that we needed for our short stay. Crato is bigger than we expected and served as a good location to explore the area, including a trip to the lovely town of Portalegre. We recommend this house to others.

Leonor is a wonderful caring and warm person. She took great care of us during our stay by being available to our questions about the area, welcoming us warmly in her place with some tea and local specialties, bringing us fresh bread in the morning, eggs from her hens, lettuce from her garden, fair well plater as we left… the place is everything described on the add and it was very welcoming to arrive to a warm fire place as the weather was very rainy and cold. Such a wonderful stay!!! Thank you so much and I highly recommend Leonor’s place if you come in this beautiful region!

This is a tranquil place to stay if you are looking for spot to relax! I would stay here again. If you are traveling with dogs, note that their rules do not allow the dog to be left unattended in the unit or to be on furniture/bed. They have doggy beds and water/food bowls for dogs if you need them. The units look exactly like the listing photos. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal. If you are coming in on a Sunday plan to bring some groceries with you as there are not grocery stores or restaurants open nearby. I’d recommend going to Salto for a glass of wine and a stroll across the border to Portugal. This spot is also a great home base if you are looking to hike to the Dolmens or stargaze at the lookout for Berrocal de la Data. Thank you again for your hospitality. This was a wonderful stay.

Clara and José are charming hosts, both discreet and always ready to satisfy us if needed. Despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate and we enjoyed this meeting. We were able to enjoy the garden and the pool peacefully. The house is in an authentic village, with a nice little square just in front. We will keep a very good memory of this place as well as the smiling locals we met!

We had a great stay! The accommodation was exactly as described, very clean, comfortable and well located. The host was very attentive and helpful throughout the stay. We recommended and would come back for sure!

We loved our stay in the Fontanheira houses, without a doubt I give 5 stars. The house has all the conditions for a couple with 2 children, very spacious, modern and beautifully decorated. My daughters say it was the coolest house where they stayed, they loved it! But note to those who have smaller children, that access to the mezzanine can be a bit dangerous, because the stairs do not have lateral protection, which for us was not a problem, as my daughters are already older. We stayed in the house farthest from the pool, which has a stunning view to the mountain (I don't know if the side house will also have). Great house to disconnect from everyday stress and recharge batteries in the middle of nature.

Lovely, clean house with a great outside space. Patrícia was helpful throughout.

The little house is lovely - warm and homely. It is well furnished with a good hot shower and good water pressure. The beds are comfortable and there are lots of extra blankets (we came in the cold season). Parking is right outside the door and the back garden has a covered area as well as a direct sun area- chairs table and sun beds. There is a small laundry, lines and pegs. We would thoroughly recommend.
