The property was renovated in 2015 while retaining its distinctive period character and architectural details. Its 250 m² construction area includes a substantial manor house with around 195 m² of living accommodation.

A fully fitted rustic kitchen includes marble worktops, an electric hob and oven, extractor, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The house also includes a library, storage room, laundry area and guest toilet. Double-glazed windows with wooden frames combine comfort with the property’s historic appearance. Outside, walled landscaped gardens create privacy and a strong sense of arrival. Two ornate Baroque pools and a fountain form the centrepiece of the garden setting. The Roman cistern provides an unusual historic feature that distinguishes this estate from conventional rural homes. A one-bedroom gardener’s house may offer useful staff, guest or ancillary accommodation. Stables, two horse boxes, sheepfolds and other buildings add practical potential for equestrian or agricultural activities. Olive trees and an orchard reinforce the authentic Alentejo country lifestyle. The estate has a borehole, well, cistern, mains electricity and septic tank. Crato is approximately 3 km away, and Portalegre’s shops, cinema and restaurants are 18 km from the property. Lisbon is around 170 km away, while the Spanish border is approximately 30 km distant.
