Vacation Rental Castro da Cola | Cottage in Ourique
1 Bedroom Cottage in Aldeia dos Palheiros, Ourique
Located in the very heart of the Baixo Alentejo, on a hillside overlooking the Mira River, this venue is a truly special place thanks to its magnificent scenery and surrounding environment.
In this surprising oasis in the Alentejo countryside, we are invited
to listen to the birdsong, the flow of the stream, or simply to find peace in nature.
If you prefer more activity, you can explore the trails on foot, by bike, or even on horseback. We can also explore the Mira River by kayak or on a boat tour.
THE PROPERTY
Set within this landscape are four houses that preserve the original Alentejo architectural style, decorated in a minimalist fashion with a few designer pieces, creating a surprising yet welcoming contrast.
All houses have air conditioning in the living room and bedroom, as well as a kitchenette (equipped with an electric stovetop, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and Delta capsule coffee machine), so you can prepare your own meals without having to go to a restaurant, if you prefer.
Outside, you’ll find various nooks to relax in and several tables for dining.
By the pool, you can let yourself be lulled by the scent of rockrose while lounging on a Balinese bed or a sun lounger.
In winter, the cozy fireplace nook soothes the spirit and invites you to savor a fine local wine while enjoying a long conversation in good company.
In the morning, a basket filled with delicious treats is delivered to each cottage so you can enjoy breakfast outdoors or in the comfort of “your” cottage.(for reservations with the breakfast option)
ACTIVITIES
Nature invites you to rest, but also to explore.
Hiking:
Find tranquility along the banks of the Mira River, where you can go for a walk. All the trails are perfect for getting lost in your thoughts or sharing moments and conversations.
Bicycle Tours:
We provide bicycles so you can explore the region. Cycle through the magnificent countryside, discover the scents of the Alentejo, and feel the breeze of nature far from the pollution and hustle and bustle of big cities.
Birdwatching:
There are many birds that call this little corner of the Alentejo home. If you keep your eyes peeled, you’ll be able to spot many of the birds flying over these fields.
Jeep tour:
Make the most of your stay by taking a ride in an all-terrain jeep and exploring the Alentejo in a more adventurous way.
Kayak tour:
Set off on an adventure and discover the hidden corners of the reservoir on a kayak tour we offer our guests.
Boat tour:
We offer the opportunity to cruise the calm waters of the Sta Clara Reservoir.
Let yourself be enchanted by these landscapes on a morning or afternoon boat tour.
Sport fishing:
We’re tempted to venture into the arms of the Mira River and the Sta Clara Dam, where—if you accept the challenge—you can go sport fishing.
Horseback riding:
Set off on an adventure, at a walk or a trot, and discover the countryside and people of the Alentejo. If you prefer, you can start with a riding lesson so that next time you’ll have the confidence to go on a longer ride.
Archaeological Site
The houses at Castro da Cola are located next to the Castro da Cola archaeological site, an important archaeological site classified as a national monument. Discover the culture of other peoples who passed through here more than eight thousand years ago.

Visit to the town of Ourique:
The town of Ourique, located 15 km from Castro da Cola, was the site of the famous Battle of Ourique between Afonso Henriques and the Moors in 1139.
