It’s about a two-hour drive from Lisbon to reach this running estate – yes, it’s home to a beautiful hotel but it’s also a farm, winery and wildly wonderful olive grove. It has belonged to the same family for over 200 years, so there is real purpose behind it, and plenty of TLC poured into it. With intention in its routes, we’ve fallen in love with the relationship between nature and the hotel, and it’s obvious during every meal or when you’re out on the land. Regulars return for the quiet, the farm-fresh feasting and the familiarity of the team who are always smiling and there when you need them. It’s hard to leave such beauty too…there’s real peace in doing nothing here.
