Restored Residence in Portugal
This beautiful country home, Monte São Domingos, was previously an historic nunnery and Alto Real horse farm located in the olive and wine region in the Alentejo, in Elvas, Portugal. Monte São Domingos sits on a hilltop with 360 degree views, including lake Caia, and was renovated over the last 5 years. Restored with original handmade tile floors, antique marble sinks, sculpted by hand baths 100 plus year old roof tiles and hand forged iron and glass doorways gives the feeling that the farm has been untouched by time. At the same time the house is technically modern with radiant floor heating, solar panel water heat, and fully equipped kitchen.
