Located 1 km from the centre of Santiago do Cacém, this converted windmill enjoys an excellent position, 15 minutes from the beaches of Alentejo and from the Nature Reserve of Lagoa de Santo André, overlooking the Arrábida mountain range and surrounded by the aura of the past that hangs above the ruins of the roman city of Miróbriga. This windmill converted into a holiday accommodation is surrounded by different environments. Its traditional architecture reminds us of the typical Alentejo houses, with its white walls bordered with blue. A biological swimming pool shared with the neighbouring owners completes the relaxing ambience.
Totally renovated and converted into a vacation house, the windmill spreads over 3 floors; the ground floor comprises an equipped kitchen with dining area seating 4 persons and a shower room; the first floor consists of a double room; the second floor is a living room where one still finds the old windmill mechanical parts, as well as a settee, a double bed, satellite TV and a coffee table, as well as a unique view over the town of Santiago do Cacém.
Outside, guests enjoy the beautiful landscape, a biological swimming pool shared with property owners, garden and terrace with garden furniture and BBQ. A children playground is also available.
Sleeps 2-4 persons, self catering.
Santiago do Cacém is a peaceful town in the south of Portugal, whose origins date back to remote times. In the Roman period, it was an important town situated on the road linking Lisbon to the Algarve, a factor which greatly contributed to its development.
The definitive Christian conquest of the town took place in the thirteenth century in 1217, being achieved by the forces led by D. Afonso II, although there had been an earlier conquest in 1157 by the Knights Templar. It was around this time that the castle originally founded by the Moors was rebuilt. Other buildings of historical and architectural interest are the thirteenth-century parish church and the seventeenth-century chapel of São Pedro.
No visit to this region would be complete without a trip to the nearby ruins of Miróbriga, an important livestock farming centre and spa in Roman times. The archaeological site includes an important urban nucleus encompassing a hippodrome, several houses (some of which have mural paintings) and a clearly defined acropolis, where the forum and public baths are quite visible.
