Enjoy the tranquility of nature, the fantastic views and the serenity for which the Alentejo is only known. MOBA is a sustainable holiday accommodation in the middle of nature and yet within walking distance of the very original small village of São Luís - at the same time it is only 15 km to the magnificent beaches of the Costa Vicentina. There is a pool and you get a breakfast basket every morning only you can start the day relaxed.
The space
MOBA sun
The reduced, clear design of this tiny villa leaves plenty of space to breathe, unwind and contemplate the surrounding nature. Due to the complete glass front and the continuation of the building's contest to the covered terrace, the border between inside and out is completely blurred. However, due to the otherwise extensive omission of windows, a very cozy, almost already cave-like atmosphere is created at the same time. The panoramic view gives you the feeling of always being in the middle of nature in the entire living room.
The building structure and the interior are made entirely of wood, the facade of cork, which makes the house embedded itself excellently in the environment, which mainly consists of cork oaks. At the same time, cork has excellent insulation properties, is highly weathering-resistant, non-flammable and, like wood, a renewable building material. As a result, the house has even received a certificate for sustainable construction from the University of Minho.
The house is completely water and energy-park, the electricity requirement is 100% covered by solar systems (incl. Well pump and hot water). We only use ecological detergents and detergents as well as dish soap, etc., do without disposable dishes and offer our guests free spring water to avoid the garbage generated by plastic bottles.
The house has about 62m2 of floor space, including Bathroom with walk-in shower, bedroom with double bed (1.60 x 2 m), kitchen with dining area, living room with large couch that can be converted into 2 single or one double bed (1.80 x 2 m) as well as the covered terrace with sun loungers and cozy beanbags. Outside there are 2 upholstered sunbeds. Baby cot and high chair are also available, we just ask you to let us know when booking.
MOBA...
comes from Monte do Barranquinho, which is the original name of our beautiful, naturally wild valley. It covers 10.5 hectares mainly wooded with cork oaks, pines, olive and strawberry trees (Arbutus trees), is traversed lengthwise by a stream and offers plenty of free space and hidden places to relax, explore and observe nature.
We have a total of 4 different accommodations, which are mainly aimed at nature-loving guests who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city and value peace, nature and privacy on holiday and prefer that to a large TV and air conditioning.
We have a fruit and vegetable garden for self-sufficiency, sheep for handrail cleaning, chickens for daily fresh eggs, honey bees and two very dear dogs on our premises.
In addition, there is a small fenced pool at the main house (shared, Ø 5 m / 1.5 m deep) which is operated with a saltwater system and is therefore very skin-friendly and eye-friendly.
Guest access
The entire house as well as the surrounding area are private. The rest of the property, incl. Gardens and pool is common area, only used by us and other guests.
