Casa Serra I

Melides Sierra House is nestled in the tranquil hills of São Francisco da Serra, offering the perfect combination of comfort, nature, and adventure. This charming retreat accommodates up to six guests and features two thoughtfully designed rooms: a delightful suite overlooking the pool and a cozy bedroom with a unique triple bunk bed. The inviting living room, with its large window showcasing picturesque views of the countryside, is perfect for relaxing, while the fireplace provides a warm ambiance during chilly winter evenings.

The fully equipped kitchen opens onto a beautiful terrace, ideal for enjoying outdoor meals, reading a book, or unwinding in hammocks while admiring the montado landscape dotted with cork trees. The terrace’s shaded roof ensures a cooler atmosphere on warm days, making it an ideal spot to relax. Guests also have access to the house’s private pool, which guarantees both fun and relaxation.

Melides Sierra House is ideally located to explore the Alentejo coastline, offering proximity to some of Portugal’s most stunning beaches. In just 10-15 minutes, you can reach Melides Beach, known for its unspoiled charm. Head north to discover Aberta Nova, Comporta, and Troia, or travel south to the surfing hotspots of São Torpes and Porto Covo.

Beyond the beaches, the villa serves as a gateway to Portugal’s highlights: only 1 hour from Lisbon, 1.5 hours from the Algarve, 1 hour from Évora, and 3.5 hours from Porto in the north. The region offers an abundance of experiences, from savoring fresh seafood to exploring vibrant landscapes bathed in year-round sunshine.

For families, there are plenty of activities to entertain children, including the renowned Badoca Safari Park, SUP paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing lessons, dolphin-watching boat rides, horseback riding, and go-karting. For those seeking cultural enrichment, nearby castles, historic churches, fascinating museums, and the Roman ruins of Miróbriga—one of Portugal’s most significant archaeological sites—offer endless opportunities for exploration.

Nature lovers can enjoy the famous Rota Vicentina hiking trails, ranked among Europe’s best, or explore the surrounding St. André Lagoon Nature Reserve with its diverse flora and fauna. At night, you can experience one of the clearest starry skies in the region—a magical moment that makes the Alentejo truly unforgettable.
