And they all open up to terraces and gardens. As part of the experience, there are also walking and training paths you can discover during you stay. WiFi and cable internet is available in every room and public areas and it's free of charge. We have a private chef ready to prepare light meals during the day and dinner on request. And we are glad to adapt to special needs. This is the perfect place for a romantic escape, a family trip or an adventure among friends.
Located just 5 km away is the lovely Vila Viçosa where you can visit the Ducal Palace , one of the most emblematic monuments of the village and the Medieval Castle. You can also take a tour to see its incredible churches. The town of Redondo is 25km from the homestead, with privileged views of the impressive Serra d' Ossa " where the ground tapirs are born and the streets are covered with paper flowers ." A little further away is the typical village of Monsaraz with privileged views of the Alentejo countryside . The city of Estremoz with a lively cultural life is known for its many wineries . Ideal place to get to know the regional wine. It is very likely that when visiting us is happening a fair in Estremoz. Many other sites are close to our place. We will be happy to help you choose a destination.
