Hotel Sao Lourenco do Barrocal (Mourão)

Stijl en sfeer van het hotel

This 200 year-old Alentejo farm is both rural idyll and restful escape. Wooden deckchairs are dotted around the orange grove. Butterflies dip in and out of the wildflower meadow. The vineyard and vegetable gardens are the inspiration for dinner. Every element of Sao Lourenco do Barrocal and its 700 plus hectares celebrates its natural setting. You can walk the grounds and step into the winery for an exclusive tasting of the first-estate wines. Or simply breathe in the fresh country air from your farmstead-style bedroom. Whether you choose a luxury room- suite or cottage it comes with a relaxed mix of vintage touches and modern- almost Scandi-style decor. Here the views are the star - and some rooms even offer a private terrace to admire them from. Wake to freshly baked breads and organic goodies from the Sao Lourenco do Barrocal gardens-served in the breezy dining room. After that you could choose to ride horses- go hiking with a picnic in tow or touring on a hotel-hired bicycle. Then again it may be tempting to spend the whole day in the Susanne Kaufmann Spa. With nature-inspired treatments- saunas and a calming cedar wood tub in the hydrotherapy room- it is difficult to resist.
