The Alentejo in general is still laid-back and kissed by the sun. You can find a lot of different lifestyles – and there is something for everyone. The landscape has similarities with Italy’s Tuscany, with wide open views, endless rolling hills with animals and agricultural land or lakes inviting you to walk or to hike, do wine tastings, visit famous historic villages and towns to enjoy the ancient times, visit the fluvial beaches and the big reservoirs, enjoy fishing and water sports – or just relax.
The Alentejo is divided into 4 parts, the north with Portalegre and Crato, the central Alentejo with famous towns like Évora, Arraiolos and Reguengos de Monsaraz, the coastline with Odeceixe, Odemira and Aljezur as well as the southern part of the Alentejo with the historic towns like Beja and Mértola. These beautiful surroundings also offer stunning properties for sale, such as country houses, estates on huge plots, vineyards, guest houses, big agricultural plots, rural hotels, to name just a few. Togofor-Homes would like to present just a small number of selected properties in each area to leave an impression and spark your interest for this fantastic province of Portugal.
