Wine and Art Villa

The villa is a 300 sqm house with two main buildings connected by an underground tunnel. One of the buildings has the living room, dining room and kitchen. The second building has three beautiful, modern and comfortable rooms and an infinity swimming pool.

Outside, around the house, you can find beautiful gardens and a whole wine estate property with 50.000 sqm full of beautiful vineyards allowing you to walk around them in complete harmony with nature!

You enter the house through the living room, a huge hall that comprises two distinct spaces — one linked to leisure and the other to meals. It is impossible to enter the villa and not have a positive first impression. Each piece of furniture and each piece of art combines the past, present and future. Some vestiges of the past, such as the lagar, the press and the wine deposits, leave many people speechless.

On the right is the modern kitchen, which is fully equipped and with a breathtaking view across the surrounding vineyards and countryside. On the left is a modern service bathroom inside a centuries-old concrete wine deposit. It’s details like these that cannot be forgotten by visitors.

Down a set of stairs and across a long underground tunnel leads guests to the three bedrooms. Once again, they are completely covered in concrete, creating the feeling of sleeping inside a wine deposit. That being said, you have all the expected comforts of high-end accommodation, including private bathrooms. The bedrooms combine modernity with art and some very old furnishings. 

Above the bedrooms, an infinity swimming pool awaits and overlooks the estate's several hectares of vineyards. It offers total privacy and tranquility, making it one of the best places at the villa to rest, read a book or enjoy a glass of wine. 

The house is air-conditioned throughout and can be regulated according to your desires. There is a TV with a cable connection and a surround sound system, as well as Wi-Fi. In the kitchen, you’ll find all the facilities and amenities to cook your own meals and the bedrooms have high-quality hygiene and beauty products.

The pool is 25 square metres and isn’t heated because it is always around 17ºC.

On request, we can take care of almost anything guests need or desire. Our main purpose at the villa is to make all of your dreams come true. In addition to private transfers from Lisbon Airport and car rentals, we can assist with transportation from any point around Portugal.

We can also take care of guests’ meals, whether they want a traditional Portuguese buffet or fine-dining meals cooked in-house by private chefs. We also have a large range of enotourism programs for guests to choose from that combine wine, food, heritage, nature and sports. 

At the villa, we are ready to assist guests in finding the right partners to do almost anything they feel like. We have several different enotourism programs that combine wine, food, history, nature, hiking and cycling, so these are good starting points. After making a reservation, guests can request any of these programs.

We also have partnerships with horseriding schools, surfing and water sports operators on the nearby coast. In addition, guests can join one of our Portuguese cooking classes at the villa, which includes the preparation of meals and wine pairing. 

My three highlights?

First, I would recommend a visit to Aldeia Galega, a small wine village within walking distance of the villa (one kilometre). It was once the head of the municipality, with a royal charter from 1305. Among its medieval houses and residential streets, you will find two very beautiful squares watched over by historic churches. Other curious elements include a Manueline pillory and a lovely, tiled fountain. 

Around 13 kilometres away is the historic village of Alenquer, which features several museums, convents and old castle walls. Here, you can enjoy a meal at a local restaurant and taste the best of our gastronomy and wines. 

Last but not least, I would recommend visiting Montejunto Mountain, which is around 10 kilometres from the villa. Rising to 666 metres, its natural surroundings are protected and home to around 400 species of plants and more than 75 species of birds. It’s the perfect destination for a walk and a cup of Portuguese coffee in one of the mountain shelters.
