Holiday Rentals in Ourique - A Guide to Ourique
Ourique is a rather oddly shaped municipality whose western boundary is the eastern boundary of Odemira.
Holiday rentals in Ourique are plentiful and varied and make an admirable base for exploring the lower Alentejo plains.
The countryside here has a feeling of freedom, dotted with small villages featuring the typically Portuguese whitewashed houses with windows and doors outlined in bright colours.
Your Ourique holiday rental will probably be built in the same style even if it is a modern property. It is not uncommon, just after dawn or just before dusk, to see hot air balloons gently floating over the landscape. What a wonderful way to see this lovely countryside.

You are not likely to find any apartments to rent in Ourique. If you are a small party, just two of you perhaps, then I recommend you take a cottage to rent in Ourique.
If a pool is an absolute must for you, there are cottages and houses to rent in Ourique with pools, sometimes, but not always, shared between two or more houses.
Large villas to rent in Ourique are readily available for parties of six or more. Some of these are newly built but in the traditional style having the feeling of old Portugal with modern comforts. Pools are always found on these larger Ourique holiday rentals.
Ourique Useful Information
Ourique’s main claim to fame is as the site of the ancient battle against the Moors which is said to have given rise to the “Miracle of Ourique” and the founding of the Portuguese nation.
In Ourique town and, no doubt, in your Ourique holiday rental you will find references to this battle. One word of warning though – the battle is said to have taken place at Campo de Ourique and this is also the name of an apartment complex in Lisbon.
If you are searching the internet for Holiday Rentals in Ourique, make sure you don’t end up with an apartment in Lisbon!
