Virgen de la Cabeza Rural House
Set deep in the wild beauty of Valencia de Alcántara, this secluded mountain retreat offers a rare chance to disconnect and rediscover nature. Reached by a 4.5 km dirt road, the property sits alone in a landscape of rolling valleys, dramatic peaks, and absolute tranquility, a perfect sanctuary for groups of up to twelve guests seeking peace, privacy, and pure countryside charm. With breathtaking views in every direction, it’s a home that invites slow mornings, long conversations, and star-filled nights.
Inside, the house is warm, spacious, and designed for togetherness. Three welcoming living-dining rooms each with its own fireplace, TV, and comfortable seating create plenty of space for guests to gather or unwind quietly. The three kitchens make cooking for a large group simple and enjoyable. Across the two floors, you'll find six cosy bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged for rest after days of exploring: double rooms for couples, and twin rooms perfect for families or friends. The home also offers three functional bathrooms equipped with showers, toilets, washbasins and towels.
Outside, nature becomes your private playground. Enjoy meals on the terrace with sweeping views, relax in the hammock shaded by trees, or cool off in the private swimming pool during warm afternoons. The garden and BBQ area set the scene for long outdoor evenings surrounded by nothing but fresh air and mountains.
Nearby, discover the charm of Valencia de Alcántara, known for its scenic hiking trails, prehistoric dolmens, and historic old town. Bordering Portugal, the region also offers easy cross-border day trips to places like Marvão and Castelo de Vide. Whether you're here for nature, history or simply quiet moments with loved ones, this mountain home promises an unforgettable escape.
