Herdade dos Montes Bastos — Hotel in Ourique

Stayed for five nights while visiting friends in the area which we know well.|Arrived at 7pm and they were expecting us. Check in was swift and efficient.

Among other activities, you can rent a bike, go fishing or visit the beaches of Vila Nova de Mil Fontes. I wish we had more time to do the...

A fabulous place, that joins the tranquility of Alentejo plain with all commodities of modern touristic accommodation. The farm is simply lovely, with great views, super quiet and melancholic scenery. Loved to have some fab swimming pool baths on a still quite warm October. Made some wonder motorbike travels to Odemira, Ourique, and especially the enchanted Serra (hills). This area is a must to visit if you want to discover the real essence of genuine Alentejo, this Quinta is the perfect pivot point to explore the area, with all comfort and empathy only Alentejano people...
