Activities

Nature, adventure, culture in a single place

What are you going to do when you get to the Estate? You don’t have anything planned? Don’t worry. We can fix it.

You can read on your balcony or stretch out on the sofa next to the panoramic window in your room and think about the terrible week you had. Or go up to the terrace and have a glass of sparkling wine, wine (or why not a gin and tonic?), feasting your eyes on one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Alentejo, while listening to the sounds of nature or your favourite jazz. You can also take the car and have a drink or try the excellent shepherd’s pie in beautiful Castelo de Vide (a little over 10 km away); or sit on the linden patio listening to the running water while you read your favourite sports paper; or go for a swim in the pool, or just take a calm, refreshing stroll around the area, looking at the endless Alentejo; or… anything else you want to do in this unique place.

We guarantee you that for 8 days, if you want, you won’t have to do anything twice.
