Herdade da Malhadinha Nova
Twenty-three rooms in villas scattered across a thousand-acre working wine estate in Baixo Alentejo.
Cork oaks, whitewash, and horizons that go on forever. The Alentejo runs from the pine-and-rice coast at Comporta and Melides to marble Évora and the great lake at Alqueva. Its montes — low farmhouse estates — set the tone: earthy, quiet, unhurried.
A 15th-century convent outside Évora with its original church still standing inside the hotel.
Fifty-six suites in a building clad entirely in cork, in an oak forest outside Évora.
Thirty-six rooms in the monks' cells of a 15th-century convent, facing the Roman Temple of Diana.
