Cerro da Fontinha is a rural country-house retreat in the Alentejo region of Portugal, set between Zambujeira do Mar and Odeceixe within the Costa Vicentina Natural Park. Surrounded by open countryside and close to beaches including Carvalhal, Amália, dos Machados and Odeceixe, it offers visitors a quiet base for enjoying the area’s natural scenery and regional food culture.

The property comprises six individually distinct houses, named Casa Amarela, Casa Azul, Casa Encarnada, Casa Laranja, Casa Rosa and Casa Verde. Each combines comfort and privacy with the character of a traditional Alentejo country home. The buildings retain elements of their original rammed-earth construction, which is more than 150 years old, including exposed sections of earthen walls. Outdoors, the houses sit between a eucalyptus grove and a large natural lake frequented by wild ducks and water hens.

Cerro da Fontinha also provides à la carte breakfast, prepared from a varied menu of natural and regional products and delivered to guests’ homes at their chosen time.
