Situated in Portugal’s magnificent, mountainous, wine producing region, this impressive winery is a wonderfully unique setting for a holiday.

It is an enticing haven for wine lovers, families and friends. 

Encompassing the original historic Quinta and a modern wing, the whole villa encompasses thirteen suites and spacious living areas, as well as a spa for luxurious relaxation. Stylish and elegant, the interiors combine contemporary comfort with classic design and authentic materials. The five bedrooms in the historic quinta have a more classic Portuguese decor while the other eight are situated in the modern wing and have a more contemporary look. Gather in the convivial living room and library before meals together, prepared by the villa chef, or head outside for al fresco dining on the terrace with magnificent views across the mountains. 

The extensive grounds of the quinta incorporate verdant lawns, tall shady trees and glorious views across the hills and surrounding vineyards. The setting is ideal for unwinding in the sunshine or enjoying refreshing swims in the inviting, private swimming pool. A unique wine barrel bar is on hand here for a glass of local wine while admiring the surrounding scenery and planning your stay.
