The small cottage "Casa do Forno" in Abegoa, is a solitary island of bliss situated on the northeastern slope of Marvão, in the heart of the nature reserve Serra de São Mamede in the Alto Alentejo, less than 8 km from the Spanish border.
Surrounded by an exciting natural light show, with infinitely breathtaking views, one can see deep into the interior of both Portugal and Spain. One can enjoy this under a clear blue sky and surrounded by untamed nature.
Close to numerous hiking trails and smuggler routes, the area provides many opportunities to enjoy the rustic nature. The deserted roads in this region also offer some of the best experiences in Europe for bikes, motorcycles, vintage cars or other wheeled vehicles.
This small and well-equipped cottage has been lovingly rebuilt from what was originally a bakehouse into a completely independent little accommodation. It has a fully equipped kitchen (with a small dishwasher), a bathroom with shower, a living room with a sofa bed (2 persons), a bedroom and a terrace which is accessible from the two main rooms. With a glass of fine Portuguese red wine, one can enjoy the fantastic views and relax. In the kitchen (formerly a bakery), there is also the fully functional wood burning bread oven, which we often use to prepare delicious oven dishes.
