Sao Luis House | Extensive property in spectacular Alentejo location on the river near the sea

7 Bedroom House in Sao Luis, Vila Nova de Milfontes

Moinho do Loural is a stunning 10 hectare estate surrounded on three sides by the Mira river with 700m of private shoreline. Originally a working tidal mill, there are several small guest houses that make it an ideal location for shared family holidays.
The main house has a wonderful terrace where leisurely meals can be taken in the shade of a fig tree and at night no other light is visible except from the stars. It comprises a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, both with fabulous views, a twin room, a further single room which gives directly on to the terrace and a beautifully appointed bathroom. There are two guest cottages in the grounds also with terraces and captivating views. A further studio with a glass wall overlooking the river sleeps four and is perfect for children. Everything has been fully renovated to a high specification while retaining the character of the original buildings.
Within the main house there is plenty of space to relax in a large, comfortable, living space and a separate study area. There is an internal dining table that seats up to 12 people and a spacious and extremely well appointed kitchen that adjoins this. A south-facing terrace is shaded by a mimosa tree and there is a large outdoor table hand-made from local stone on the main terrace.
A few metres away is the first guest cottage which has twin beds, an en suite bathroom and its own seating area with fireplace. From here you can meander through the landscaped garden to the pool or on down to the private jetty.
The second guest cottage - about 80 metres from the main house - can be reached via a path that winds through cork trees past an old well. Overlooking an orchard of orange and lemon trees on one side and the river on the other, it also has twin beds, en suite bathroom (with walk-in shower), fireplace and seating area and a wonderfully secluded terrace.
From here it is a few steps to the last remaining tidal mill on the Mira river.

JOHN P. Sep 1, 2023 07:22:40 AM

Summary: It's a fairly long and bumpy ride to reach the property (not all that unusual in Portugal as well as Mediterranean countries), but it's more than worthwhile and what you'd expect for such a unique and peaceful place. The main house is super comfortable and furnished and decorated with flair. Each of the three independent cottages is also really well done and they offer flexibility and fun for extended groups of guests of all ages. And, finally, the large pool is great!

Summary: We absolutely loved our week at this villa. It is a very special place, with plenty of room for our extended family. The house is clearly much loved by its owners, well equipped and full of lovely things, set on a promontory with commanding views of the River Mira.

Summary: Having travelled all over the world we were impressed by this property's unique setting and beauty. The pictures and description by the owner hardly do it enough credit. On top of the physical location, Vila Nova de Milfontes is extremely well maintained and appointed inside; it is spacious, luxurious and yet comfortable. The view over the river from the terrace is superb, and we enjoyed many spectacular meals there looking down over the landscaped swimming pool and gardens, as the river meandered by, and the birds flew high overhead. I also really liked the fact that we all had separate cottages, and ours was particularly well situated since an old stone mill and a tributary of the river was within easy walking distance of it. Although the Vila may seem isolated, it is within easy driving distance of Milfontes, where there are a variety of superb restaurants and stores. A stay at this lovely estate was exactly what our family needed to recover from the busy lives that we all lead in New York City. I would without hesitation recommend this rental to strangers and friends alike.

Summary: Turning off the main road and driving through the fields you have no idea what you are about to find until you come over the brow of the hill and the river valley below is revealed. It is a magical place. An old farm and mill nestling into the sides of the valley above the river has been transformed into the perfect retreat. It is beautiful and quiet, with enough room for every member of a large group to find their own space to relax in if that's what they want as well as great communal areas in the main house for everyone to be together. The pool is great with a perfect view and the river was a great playground - we swam and kayaked. There is a great surf beach not too far away and lovely walks around the property which is a protected area. A top family holiday which we would do again without hesitation.

Summary: We are a large family with teenagers and younger children, this was the ideal holiday for all ages and parents, with parents and younger chilkdren occupying the main house and elder children in the annexes. The position of the property is magnificent with great views up and down the river, not another house in sight and nature all round. The houses are all beautifully equiped and well maintained. The property manager was extremely friendly and helpful, fixing up kaiak rental for the river and providing fishing tips and information on the local area. We loved all of the swimming options available, the pool, river and the sea just a 15 min drive away. We will return!

Summary: The luxurious accommodation in this magnificent setting is so well suited to the environment that the entire experience is one not to be missed. The main house and cottages, nestled in a bend on the River Mira, offer spectacular views and opportunities for relaxing on the verandas or poolside. One can enjoy a glass of Vinho Verde or perhaps fresh figs or other seasonal fruit picked fresh picked from the beautifully landscaped gardens. While watching the occasional boat pass by, we were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a 'sounder' of wild boar ambling on the path across the river. The location makes it possible to engage in water sports, hiking, and to undertake excursions to villages within a short drive. Nearby towns provide well-stocked shops featuring fresh food and a good selection of wines. (We even managed to locate some Japanese sake.) High quality restaurants with ocean views, fresh seafood and local dishes are easily accessible. We will be returning.

Summary: This is one house we would definitely rent again. It was perfect for our 3-family gathering where each family had their houses and the kids all bunked up in the "teen house". Everyone relaxed by the pool or the different decks. We found a great butcher in Vila Nova de Milfontes and cooked all our meals at the house and even used the wood oven to make pizza. We had a glitch with the refrigerator but both the owner and the caretaker were on it right away and did their best to fix the situation. We went to a couple of beaches around to both relax and boogie board. We had a great lunch at one of the restaurants by the beach where they grilled a huge fish for our party. One of the most delicious meal we have had in Portugal. We recommended this property without hesitation.

Summary: We recently spent a wonderful holiday at Moinho do Loural. The position of the house with it's separate Guest Cottages overlooking the river and surrounding hills is truly spectacular. Being newly renovated everything was in perfect working order and in excellent taste. We had some delicious seafood meals in the charming coastal town of Vila Nova de Milfortes where there are also good local beaches and it is within 15 minutes drive. The owners were extremely helpful with any queries we had about the house and we would highly recommend this spectacular house to friends and family.

Summary: Moinho do Loural is a unique location set in one of the most secluded, most traditional regions of Western Europe. You reach the property along a mile of track, then drop down into your own private enclave. The perfect setting for a large family holiday or, by contrast, the writing of that novel you always promised yourself you'd write The river Mira curves its way along 2 sides of the property before heading off to the sea at Vila Nova de Milfontes (itself a traditional Portuguese resort full of restaurants & bars, well-stocked food shops and charming sandy beaches). You'll be lucky to see more than one or two fishing boats row past in a whole day! The main terrace offers incredible panoramic views of the river The 4 buildings have all been renovated, internally and externally to a super-modern standard, surrounded by lawn and shrubberies and climbing plants, and then tastefully integrated into acres of natural landscape of cork trees, pines, mimosa and oleanders. The main house, at the top of a small hill, is flooded with light and boasts a very spacious, oak-beamed social / dining area opening out onto the main terrace. The other buildings are the Pool Cottage, the Well Cottage - for single or couple occupation - and, of course, the natty "Studio", converted specifically to provide some independence for the teenagers. Each one of these has its own terrace, its own views, its own character. Leisure and other on-site facilities include a beautiful pool, full internet service, a jetty, table football and the latest must-have, a pizza oven. And masses more. During the day, a herd of melodious cattle graze past on the opposite bank of the river, their bells clunking; in early evening, formations of white birds skim the river surface on their way home. That's a whole day's action. Our group had a fantastic time, watching the river, reading, walking and doing loads of cooking. The only thing we had to worry about all week was the lack of a lettuce drier ! The owners have since put that one right.
