Portuguese Alentejo is becoming a trend for those looking for a measured life. Ancient Montes estates with a history are again attracting investors as homes for permanent residence or agriturist.

Life here is closer to nature, but there are pharmacies and shops nearby. Check the roads in winter, water sources and electricity. Restoration of old buildings requires coordination with the authorities and readiness for unforeseen expenses.

Prices vary: Lisbon and the sea are more expensive, and in the area of Évora and Beji, the balance of silence and city is better. Highlands and Portalegre district are the most affordable options against the background of green landscapes.
