Located in a wild corner of the Alentejo region of Portugal, in the foothills of medieval Monsaraz and nearby the Alqueva lake, São Lourenço do Barrocal is a rural retreat set within a 780 ha estate that has been in the same family for over 200 years. In its heart lies a 'monte alentejano'(an old farming village), today a luxury hotel set amidst holm oaks, olive groves and vineyards. São Lourenço do Barrocal comprises: a winery for the creation of its first-class single-estate wines, two farm to table restaurants respecting the flavour and simplicity of the food of Alentejo, a farm shop selling Portuguese contemporary crafts and produce from the estate, a spa by the renowned Austrian brand of organic treats Susanne Kaufmann, two outdoor pools (adults and children), an organic vegetable garden and orchard, stables with horse riding ring, indoor and outdoor activities.
