10. Rural Portuguese Elegance: A Monte in the Alentejo, Portugal
In the rolling plains of Portugal’s Alentejo region, a traditional whitewashed farmhouse, or "Monte," offers a rustic and elegant escape. This is Portugal’s true countryside, famed for its cork forests, olive groves, and a slower pace of life. A Monte provides a tranquil base for exploring historic towns, enjoying regional cuisine, and stargazing under pristine skies. It's an authentic, sun-drenched retreat that immerses you in a rich cultural tapestry far from the bustling coast. (Approximate Pricing: $200 - $400 USD per night)
