This property is located in São Teotónio, right on the Alentejo coast and just 10 km from the beaches of Zambujeira do Mar and Carvalhal. It is set on a 10-hectare estate and is currently being operated as a rural hotel.
It includes a main house with 4 bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, plus 18 more tourist accommodation units, ranging from Double to Family Rooms, Studios with kitchenettes, and Apartments with 1 and 2 Bedrooms, also with kitchenettes. All units have air conditioning and a private terrace overlooking the garden/outdoor area. There is shaded parking for 20 vehicles and a private garage for 4 cars.
The common areas are very spacious, with a living room featuring double-height ceilings and modern lines, including a stylish designer fireplace that invites relaxation and leisure.
A multipurpose room, currently serving as a game room, and a covered outdoor area, used as a bar and chill-out zone, invite socializing, as this property is often used for corporate events or even weddings. This property also includes a modern restaurant, equipped with a professional kitchen, with indoor capacity for 70 people and an outdoor seating area for 50 people.
Outside, a huge lawn, two saltwater pools, an organic vegetable garden, and several leisure areas invite relaxation. Nothing was left to chance, and on top of a centuries-old cork oak, an attractive treehouse was created, with a tubular slide, delighting both children and adults.
The entire outdoor space was designed in harmony with the region by using native plants, exemplified by the majestic centuries-old olive trees right at the entrance. The whole property was planned to be sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Several solar panels were installed, both for water heating and for photovoltaic energy production for self-consumption, allowing for increased energy efficiency, in addition to the existing connection to the public medium-voltage electricity grid. It also has an annex ready for hosting and a fully equipped independent laundry, as well as several storage spaces and a wine cellar.
This architectural project has received several international awards and mentions in specialized press. In fact, the old ruin on the property was carefully restored, keeping its original charm of a typical Alentejo house, in perfect harmony with modern architecture and thoughtful decoration, aimed at providing maximum comfort to its guests. In fact, architectural details can be found throughout, with interior gardens in some rooms and large openings for natural light in the living room.
As a tourist enterprise, it has been gaining national and international recognition. It even won the Alentejo Best Rural Tourism Award in 2015, just a year after its opening. Since then, it has been attracting a sophisticated yet relaxed clientele, with the foreign market already accounting for more than 50% of all guests. Many of the families who visit this place return year after year.
It is a unique space, surrounded by the nature of the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, with pre-authorization for expansion up to an area of 4,000m² of construction, for tourist use. It is a perfect place to disconnect from daily stress and recharge, whether in one of the hammocks under the shade of a cork oak or on one of the sun loungers placed in the garden around the two pools.
Here, you can breathe the tranquility of the countryside while being close to the most beautiful beaches of the Alentejo coast.
