Herdade do Sobroso Wine Luxury Hotel & Villas

Picnicking in the dappled shade of cork oak trees. Sipping wine beside the swimming pool as the sun dips below the hills. And walking through vineyards under wide open skies.

The hacienda itself fits seamlessly within its surroundings. Its whitewashed exterior and bold yellow trim are the calling cards of Alentejo. Inside, clean, contemporary lines meet rustic natural materials, with terracotta tiles and wood-beamed ceilings bringing warmth. There’s a crackling open fire in cooler months to cosy up beside. While in summer’s heat you’ll find your bedroom blissfully cool. Opt for a private villa to throw open your doors to your very own pool. Or join other guests in the hotel’s infinity-edged saltwater pool overlooking the vines. The organic garden supplies the farm-to-table restaurant with just-picked ingredients, transformed into famed regional dishes. In summertime dinner becomes theatre, as a classic Alentejo barbecue sees food meet flame.

The Guadiana River flowing through the estate creates a rich – as well as serenely beautiful – landscape where wildlife thrives. Go in search of red and fallow deer, wild boar, muflon and birdlife during 4x4 safaris and kayaking expeditions. The best estate views can be found on sunrise hot air balloon rides. Back on solid ground, explore the vines by bicycle or on foot. And taste their fruits in the winery, where a tour will give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the passion of the estate’s owners and winemakers.
