"Not sure where to begin, however this is now a special place to me and my partner. We visited 2 years ago - absolutely loved everything about it and during this visit I proposed to her here.
The place itself is like a small villa and the location is fairly remote, be aware the drive up to get to this property isn’t for the feint of heart… especially with a rental car. It definitely adds to the experience of being remote but take your time and it’s not too bad.
The room is spacious and the bathrooms are very nice. The showers have rainfall shower heads and there is a window right beside the shower - if you get lucky (rooms 5/6/7/8) they face west, so you can shower as the sun sets beside you. Each room is equipped with an air conditioning unit, so you can adjust the temperature to your liking. Beds are comfy, pillows are soft, nothing to worry about with comfort.
The pool and outdoor spaces are what makes this place unique. The infinity pool is amazing and there are plenty of loungers and umbrellas for all. The hike that you can go on is awesome, bring some water and you’ll be fine. It takes you to a very quiet and remote part of a river with the option to kayak/canoe (you have to ask and pay first though).
The staff during my stay were all very lovely but there was one in particular that went above and beyond. I forget his name (sorry!) however he was there the entire time we were there and was always smiling and ensured we had everything.
Thank you!

"Beautiful quiet place with caring hosts!
Since there are only two rooms, the chance is good to have it completely on your own, ok besides the lovely purring cats and the Egg Suppliers 😀
Gabriela and Håkon live their dream. Gabriela makes lovely marmalade, Yoghurt and Granola, Håkon baked very yummy bread and Pizza, and both love good food and wine.
We will definitely want to come back!

"Superb food options for a rural location with a breakfast which was amazing. Staff were excellent. You get the rustic experience too. Great for our short stay"
"It was a pleasant and comfortable stay. A good place to relax by the pool and enjoy the typical food of Alentejo.
It's a humble place with a really nice team. Ms Beatriz and the entire family are very welcoming. Their dog Anubis made my day.

What’s a holiday rental in Gomes Aires like?
Holiday rentals are private properties where you can stay for a few weeks, or just a few days, in Gomes Aires. Holiday rentals offer extras like kitchens and laundry facilities so you'll have all the conveniences of home. If you're concerned about a sanitised environment, holiday rentals can provide a sense of seclusion away from public hotel lifts and busy lobbies while still allowing you the excitement and enjoyment of travel. You'll also find more space in a holiday rental than in a traditional hotel, which is another reason why a holiday rental is a popular option for small groups.
