Our Mongolian Yurt

 

To sleep in a Mongolian Yurt is a truly original experience in itself. This spacious round tent with a round window in the top linking you with the bright Alentejan sky, gives a magical feeling. Lying in your bed you can see the stars. In the morning the first thing you’ll see is the deep blue of the clear sky.

In summer the tent is insulated against the heat, but in spring and autumn we remove the isolation to allow the sunlight to enter the tent, filtering through the canvas. The stream of the air inside the yurt ensures that it stays pleasantly cool in the heat of summer.

The yurt was made in Mongolia by a company called Ulantaaij. This company has its yurts made following authentic Mongolian traditions, but with European standards and rights for people and care for the environment. It is attractively handpainted in a traditional mongolian design.

De yurtOutside the yurt, on your own terrace, you have a view over the whole valley and on towards the hills of the Parque Natural. Whenever you exit your tent, whether while cooking in the outside kitchen or sitting on the terrace, you will enjoy this view.
At the same time it feels secluded and private, as the yurt is positioned between cork oaks and pine trees.

Just outside is your own private bathroom, with shower and toilet.

The yurt is furnished for 2 people, but it is possible to add one or two sleeping areas for children. The yurt is set on a wooden floor with carpets, to maximise the feeling  of comfort.
