Herdade da Malhadinha Nova

NATURE IMMERSION IN THE BAIXO ALENTEJO

Land of an endless horizon, rich in colour and drenched in sunshine, the Baixo Alentejo is one of Portugal's best-kept secrets. It is at the heart of this region, in the charming village of Albernoa, that Herdade da Malhadinha Nova emerges. With its 450 hectares of vineyards and plains, the family estate blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings. Within its walls, marble and artisan-crafted items inspired by rural Alentejo live alongside contemporary design objects. Five buildings on the estate welcome guests: the charming Malhadinha Country House, which houses 10 rooms, 2 swimming pools and a spa; Casa das Pedras, which offers 4 suites with a private pool overlooking the plains; Casa do Ancoradouro, with its 7 terracotta suites adjoining a swimming pool; Casa da Ribeira, a contemporary 3-suite villa with a pool; and Casa das Artes e Ofícios, a more intimate 2-suite villa with a pool. Five kilometres from the estate, guests can stay in the heart of the village of Albernoa by choosing Venda Grande, a fully equipped 4-bedroom villa. In the evening, by the pool or after a break at the spa, you can enjoy a glass of one of the estate's wines, lulled by the gentle breeze. At the property's restaurant, Michelin-starred chef Joachim Koerper creates farm-to-table cuisine rich in traditional Alentejo flavours. Herdade da Malhadinha Nova is unquestionably the ideal place to experience timeless moments.
