If you’re from the Netherlands and dreaming of a slower pace of life, more sunshine, and a deep connection to nature, the Alentejo region in Portugal is quickly becoming a favorite destination for many Dutch citizens looking to relocate, invest, or retire.

At Immo Lusitania, we’ve seen a growing trend: Dutch buyers in Alentejo are not only looking for property; they’re looking for a lifestyle. Whether it’s a peaceful vineyard estate, a farmhouse with renovation potential, or a ready-to-move-in villa with land, the Alentejo ticks all the boxes for Dutch expats.

And with Ferdi Van Duijvenbode — Dutch-speaking, born to a Dutch family, and the heart of Immo Lusitania — you’re not just getting an agent. You’re getting someone who understands your language, your culture, and your expectations.

🇳🇱 Why Dutch People Are Choosing Alentejo

So why are so many people from the Netherlands drawn to this part of Portugal?

•Space and tranquility: Unlike the crowded Randstad or busy Dutch cities, the Alentejo offers endless rolling hills, olive groves, cork forests, and peaceful countryside views.

•Great climate: The Dutch are sun-seekers. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Alentejo is a paradise compared to the grey winters of the Netherlands.

•Affordable property: From rustic cottages starting at €75,000 to fully renovated farm estates and boutique guesthouses, real estate in the Alentejo is still a great value.

•Cultural depth: Many Dutch buyers are culture enthusiasts. The Alentejo offers castles, historical towns like Évora and Serpa, and a thriving wine and gastronomy scene.

•Sustainability: Dutch buyers are often eco-conscious. In Alentejo, off-grid living, solar energy, and organic farming are not just trends — they’re traditions.
