Nestled away in a peaceful spot in Montemor-o-Novo, close to the impressive medieval ruins of Montemor-o-Novo Castle, this home provides you with a serene spot for soaking up the Portuguese sunshine. The outdoor areas are particularly gorgeous here – the private swimming pool lets you gaze out at glorious views over the surrounding hills and houses from its cool waters. Inside is modern and minimalist, with little luxuries such as en-suites for each bedroom, plus a wood-burning fireplace to gather around on chillier evenings.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
