Weekend Getaways in Alentejo

If you are looking for something different, Eco Figueirinha stands out for being an ecological rural tourism.

The search for sustainability is a work in progress at Figueirinha Ecoturismo. The vegetable garden without the use of chemicals, the biological pool, composting and solar energy are just a few steps in the search for respect for nature and the defense of the environment in general.

In the morning, have breakfast next to the “mother house” and take the opportunity to observe the view from the viewpoint of Santa Maria das Neves.

Alentejo bread, wine and meat on the grill are the ingredients that are not lacking in Figueirinha and are perfect to stay chatting the night away.

For beach lovers, the estate is about 30 minutes from the beach of Vila Nova de Milfontes and on their return they can always stop at Adega do barreirinho or on the village's balcony as they are the two most renowned restaurants in the area.

Although there are otto rooms for sleeping in one of the two tents they have that were inspired by the trips to Africa that the owners made.

One has as its attraction the windows strategically located at the top that allow the observation of the stars and the crown of the cork oak that lends it some shade during the day.

The other lends comfort and warmth even on rainy days and has as its main motives the pallet bed with headboard decorated with dry branches, the cork trough transformed into a washbasin and the dry toilet.

They are also planning to build a “tree house” in the inheritance.

This is one of the most popular rural tourism in the country.

Composed of several cabin-shaped rooms scattered around the estate, Sublime offers the calm and tranquility that we so often seek.

There are cabins that are true suites with a living room, kitchen and a private pool.

Those who do not want to stay in the huts can choose to stay in a room in the main house. It is 5 minutes from the beach and there are many activities that can be done there.

You can go horseback riding on the beach, stroll around the estate and its surroundings by bicycle, play tennis, go to the spa, in short, there are plenty of options.

Waking up literally in the middle of nature is inexplicable and the breakfast they serve is simply delicious. The friendliness and organization of all the staff is evident and all the decoration of the space was very well thought out!

Sublime has been a serious case of success and that is why they are increasing their capacity by building more huts and small villages throughout the estate. It is the ideal place to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and replenish your energy…

In Alto Alentejo, more precisely in Crato, we introduce you to a new rural tourism - Olive Residence & Suites. The project was born when the owners bought that farm and built small bungalows to be able to receive family friends at weekends but quickly realized that there was potential for much more.

The way they built the outdoor area is different, the palm trees, the statues by the pool, the sofas ... It makes you think that you are not in Portugal.

Breakfast can be served by the pool and for those who want it can be asked to be served in the room!

You can also take the opportunity to go for a bike ride (several are available and can be used free of charge) and get to know the estate better.

They have fields of vineyards where they recently started producing wine, a mini dam, in short, if you want to know everything you will have to cycle at the highest level!

It is located right in the center of the Alentejo and is ideal for those who want to rest and forget the hustle and bustle of the city for a few days.

The suites surprise us positively, between a private mini pool, an exclusive patio with a fireplace and even a super living room, it is a case to be without knowing where to start.

For greater relaxation it is possible to lie down and watch the stars thanks to the glass ceiling that the suites have over the bed, it is unique!

Enjoy a dip in the pool and visit the vineyards of the estate.

For those who want to get to know Alentejo wines better, the hotel offers several activities, starting with wine tastings and courses and visits to wineries in the region.

And if at the end of the day you need to relax you can always try some massages at the famous spa of the estate.

The irreverent Herdade do Reguenguinho is a surprising hint of color in the chromatic monotony that characterizes the region. The strong and intense colors result from the creativity and imagination of Susana and Ricardo, the young couple who once dared to dream of owning their own ChillOut Resort in Alentejo, in a space that invites you to live the good side of life.

The intense orange that paints the exterior walls, for example, is an anti-depressant for gray and dark winter days, promoting joy and well-being. Inside, ambiences of scenarios and remote places stir up the fantasy of the senses, in dream trips.

The rooms are surprising and special that when you get there the reactions are inevitable "This is brutal", "It doesn't even look like we are in Portugal", "Look at this view", "Put the bath in already!".

The pool has an unbelievable view of the Alentejo, there is no time for the hours to pass and you can only leave it after watching the sunset.

Breakfast is served at the “mother house” and that warm Alentejo bread will make you miss and want to come back!
