Tucked away in the golden plains of the Alentejo lies Serpa, a serene yet storied town where time seems to slow. Known for its whitewashed houses, medieval walls, olive groves, and famous cheeses and wines, Serpa is a dream for anyone seeking tranquility, authenticity—and real estate opportunity.
Whether you’re looking for historic villas, renovation-ready farmhouses, or vineyard estates, Serpa offers a slice of Portugal that feels untouched yet full of potential.
🏰 A Town Steeped in History
Founded during Roman times and fortified under Moorish rule, Serpa has long been a strategic border town. Its castle ruins, cobbled lanes, and aqueducts whisper stories of centuries past.
💡 Pro Tip: Properties inside Serpa’s historic center often come with stone arches, antique tiles, and original features—ideal for thoughtful restoration.
🏡 Real Estate in Serpa: Charm Meets Potential
Serpa is a rising star for buyers who want authenticity over flash, with:
•Traditional townhouses with shaded courtyards and terraces
•Country homes with panoramic views of rolling hills
•Old farmsteads perfect for boutique wine production

🕵️ Insider Insight: Many of the most appealing properties in Serpa never hit the open market. That’s where Immo Lusitania’s off-market network comes in.
🍷 Wine & Olive Oil: The Soul of Serpa
