A classic-style central fireplace and large handmade Arraiolos rugs ensure comfort and warmth.
- Kitchen: A traditional kitchen acting as the true heart of the home, combining modern appliances (oven, stovetop, and microwave) with the historic character of a grand hearth/fireplace, marble countertops, and handcrafted tilework.
- Bedrooms: The property offers 5 spacious bedrooms, each complemented by an en-suite bathroom tailored with its own color palette and identity. Bedrooms feature wrought-iron and brass beds decorated with regional items, such as traditional Alentejo blankets and Arraiolos rugs.
- Outdoor Retreats: A spacious terrace acting as an urban oasis of tranquility, complete with a built-in masonry bench accented in signature Alentejo yellow, furnished with a wrought-iron table and chairs ideal for al fresco dining. Cantilevered balconies overlook the vibrant historic center, alongside a private shaded courtyard/patio.
