Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Small but comfortable farmhouse (100 sqm), peaceful location, beautiful surroundings, 1 km from typical village. We are non-smokers.
Sorry but we are not interested in big cities and exchanges for less than 3 weeks.
Alvito is a village with 3000 inhabitants and a good infrastructure. Railway to Lisbon. Beja and Évora (world heritage) are the next cities, both 40 km away. Within 2 hours you are in Lisbon, in the Algarve, in Spain or on the West coast. The Alentejo region has a low population density. Good conditions for relaxed driving and cycling. We have e-bikes. Our home was built in 2005 on part of our farmland. Around the house are fruit trees, cork- and holmoaks and a garden.

This is a good area for walking and cycling with little traffic on the roads. The towns of Évora and Beja are a 45 min. drive away. Two lakes are 8 and 17 km away. There are interesting typical villages worth a visit in the region.
