Due to recent housing proposals and legislation made by the Portuguese government, to solve the housing shortage as well as the drastic rise of property prices in the Algarve, Togofor Homes is exploring the southern part of the Alentejo (Baixo Alentejo) and has recently opened its first office in Ourique, Beja.

The southern Alentejo (Baixo Alentejo) covers Almodôvar towards Ourique, Alvito in the west and Moura, Beja, Serpa and Mértola in the east. Beja is the municipality (council).
The Alentejo is a region of unexpected and unspoiled nature, where time slows down - especially in the heat of the summer. It offers beautiful and diverse landscapes with wide open views, rolling hills, cattle and of course the well-known black pigs ‘porco preto’ grazing happily in pastures. Reminiscent of Tuscany with panoramic landscapes and never-ending fields, this region is rich in culture and historic treasures which can be seen in several towns and villages. You will find never-ending plots of land – ideal for horses and animals, rural tourism, wineries, orchards, plantations of cork and olive trees - all within natural tranquillity. The small villages and towns are cosy and social with many annual festivals which are very important, not only for the locals to get together.
Starting next to the reservoir at the river MIRA near to Ourique we can present a very interesting guesthouse with its own lake access, located in the natural park.

A fabulous location at the reservoir and set within a beautiful environment for natural lovers.
Not far from that it is interesting to explore the archaeological sites of Castro da Cola which are located near to the Santa Clara reservoir with good walking tracks and beautiful surroundings not far from the west coast and Odemira.
Ourique is a small and lovely town nominated for the best black pork in the Alentejo. Surrounded by large rural plots and a big lake.
