I'm a senior Portuguese lady, who lived and worked in Brussels for almost 30 years. Having inherited these 2 small houses, they were renewed in a way to retain its typical structure, while ensuring the comfort of our days. I wish to offer pleasant stays to keep them ALIVE in honour of my maternal ancestors that lived there. I like very much travelling and meeting people of different cultures, so it's with dedication and enthusiasm that I'm managing this small but challenging activity.

Casas Senhora da Graça location is ideal for stays to visit "FESTA das FLORES" in CAMPO MAIOR (last week of August 2023) and for exploring the nice and diversified landscape of this Alentejo border region.
