Herdade dos Mestres is a traditionalrough-cast Alentejo's building, painted white with a blue base and a gable roof covering a single floor at ground level. The exterior balconies which run along the whole building are prime spots for taking in the views, while offering shade and protection from the sun and wind. The thick walls and small windows retain the heat in Winter and keep the house cool in Summer. Finally, the huge chimneys extract the smoke of the open fires which bring warmth to the cold evenings.

Our estate is a country house which offers the simplicity and tradition of the Alentejo coupled with the comfort of modern life and environmental sustainability. Given that the Alentejo region benefits from long periods of sun, Herdade dos Mestres uses solar energy in its panels to heat water and produce electricity.

Herdade dos Mestres has six rooms and an apartment for 4 to 6 people. Four of the rooms are in the oldest wing of the house (dating back to 1913), while the others are located on the newer part of the estate. As we want our guests to feel at home, there is also a room with a fireplace where one can relax and listen to the crackling flames, a pleasant breakfast room, two cosy sitting rooms, a games room, bar and two spacious porches.

All the rooms are unique and their décor inspired by the art of a master artisan, thus allowing our guests to learn more about local crafts and these masters of the Alentejo, who still conserve the knowledge, art and trades of former times.

A cot can be placed in any of the rooms and both double and twin rooms are available. They all have a private bathroom, air conditioning, television and free Wi-Fi.

The baker-themed apartment is one-bedroomed, consisting of a suite, living room with a sofa bed for two, an integrated kitchen and dining area, a second bathroom and a small mezzanine which may be used as a children's playroom or bedroom (6-12 years).

Herdade dos Mestres offers its guests an unforgettable experience, enabling them to learn a little more about the history of Portugal, and the arts and crafts of the Alentejo. We eagerly await your visit!
