This beautiful Alentejo estate is situated on the banks of the Alqueva reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in Europe. It covers an area of 250 km2 and offers excellent opportunities for outdoor activities including water sports, cycling and walking. The lake has revitalised the local landscape, replacing the once barren terrain with new life and water. The Alqueva region is also a prime spot for stargazing and is recognised as a UNESCO Stargazing Reserve. The surrounding area offers breath-taking views of castles such as Juromenha, Alandroal, Terena, Portel and is next to Monsaraz, one of Portugal's most beautiful small towns.
