Quinta 'NO CAMPO'.
That is the Portuguese word for “outside”, “in the country”.
Because of the tranquillity, the space and the beauty of this “campo”, in 1999 we purchased a farm with 4 hectares of land, just outside of Santa Margarida da Serra, with hundreds of cork-oaks, an olive-grove, a kitchen-garden and lots of fruit-trees.
We planted subtropical trees and shrubs and converted the “monte”, the original farmstead in Alentejo-style, into one single guest-house.
Why We Love Our Vacation Rental
In the thinly inhabited province of Alentejo, 10 kilometres to the south of Grândola, lies the little village of Santa Margarida da Serra.
A friendly mountain-village with low, white plastered cottages, surrounded by endless slopes strewn with thousands of cork-oaks. It is situated near the Atlantic coast, the Costa Azul, with its tranquil seaside resorts like Melides and Lagoa de Santo André.
You reach Santa Margarida by the A2 motorway from Lisbon airport in about an hour.
A rural cottage in the protected nature reserve of Costa Azul.

Cottage Features and Area Attractions
Area Attractions and Nearby Activities:
no campo lies in a protected nature reserve, inviting you to beautiful bicycle- and walking-tours, for instance down to the nearby river. Or into the “mountains”, towards the summit where you find “A nossa Senhora da Penha,”, a rural chapel.
Information about bicycle- and walking-tours is awaiting you, the region is a pleasure-ground for mountain-bikers, with its seemingly endless dirt-roads without traffic. Although the terrain is quite hilly, summits are never over 250 metres.
Or you just stay home and enjoy the campo, watch the birds including the hoopoe, the redheaded shrike and the bee-eater, or spot salamanders and lizards.
Depending on the season, go gather mushrooms and pick olives and wild marjoram (Oregano).
So, for those who prefer beauty and tranquillity to crowded holiday – resorts, staying at
no campo is an excellent choice.

Vacationer Feedback
We had a lovely stay at no campo. The guesthouse has everything a family needs for a holiday in the sun; lots of wine glasses, an olive plate and friendly dog. Wake up in the morning, have breakfast outside, say hello to Hendrix, drive out to the beach, soak some sun, enjoy the water, amble home, have a late lunch under the umbrella, afternoon snooze, walk to Santa Margarita, climb the new look out tower, walk home, open a (very cheap and good) bottle of Portuguese wine, eat some olives, talk to the goats and the sheep, prepare a simple meal for eating outside, tuck the kids in, have another glass of wine…….another day at no campo! Enjoy!
Fond memories.

We want you to know how much we enjoyed our stay at No Campo. We knew our experience would be special as we drove up the final road, though the cork oaks, and watched the tenders gather the sheep!
The guest house was perfect for us. The rural location was quiet, a perfect respite after our tours of the beaches and other exotic spots of the Alentejo. We enjoyed time on the patio sampling local wines.
You have created a wonderful spot which we will always remember fondly, and hope to revisit someday!
