São Lourenço do Barrocal

Artisan interiors and Alentejo scenery in this southeast Portugal rural retreat

Whatever the season, São Lourenço do Barrocal invites you to pause, breathe in the fresh air and soak up the wraparound Alentejo landscapes. Both working country estate and luxury escape, it gives you hundreds of hectares to enjoy. Settle into a wooden deckchair in the orange grove. Wander through the butterfly-busy wildflower meadow. Take in the vineyard, vegetable gardens and olives groves – what’s grown here might well be served at dinner.

Rooms come with organic breakfasts in the breezy dining room. Fast forward to the evening and it’s time to choose from a menu of homegrown and locally sourced produce – accompanied by single-estate wines from the São Lourenço do Barrocal winery. You can even visit the winery itself for exclusive tastings. In between, make time for the on-site spa. This temple to tranquillity celebrates natural beauty with organic treatments and airy spaces.
