"Casa da Malta" - Country Cottage - Neighbourhood of Évora (30 km)

"Casa da Malta" is a local designation, to a building apart from the main one, where temporary workers were lodged (the ones named “malteses”).
Therefore, we named "casa da malta" this house, rebuilt in 2003 from old ruins, close to the owners house but completely independent.
Private home, tipicaly of the Alentejo region – ground floor, long rectangle, door and windows exposed to east. Inserted in a 23,500 sqm property, located in a rural environment, at the arrival at Escoural village (department of Montemor-o-Novo), on the southern slope of the Monfurado Hills. Gives the kind of confort which is supposed to find in a traditional rural house with thick old whitewhashed walls and small windows (protection against external lower and higher temperatures), where you can look the stars, footwalking, buy warm bread,...
Obs: A cradle is available, and a sofa bed allows, in exceptional cases, lodging two extra people.
