This charming country house is ideal for a weekend getaway or long-term stay.
Open since January 2009, the hotel sits in a large rural property deep in the heart of Alentejo. The place instantly captured the imagination of a group of friends, who despite not knowing much about the hotel business, sensed that there was a dream waiting to be build.This excellent hotel was born out of earth, with an intimate relationship and respect for the nature around it.That is why the main priority of the architects of the project was to integrate the unique Alentejo landscape with the modern, comfortable and outward facing design of the hotel and with an environmentally sustainable energy.
The property consists of 5 rooms.
Herdade de Vale Côvo is situated within the Natural Park of Guadiana Valley along the river between Mértola and Serpa in Alentejo, South of Portugal.The house was an old hunting place, now restored, surrounded by 184 hectares of Mediterranean forest and aromatic plants.It is possible to visit the plantation of aromatic plants of lavender, rosemary, geranium and our distillery where we produce essential oils 100 % natural from organic agriculture.Meals are made with natural and organic products. We also serve vegetarian dishes.There are 5 twin-rooms with private bath-room and central heating. During winter meals are served near the fireplace in the living-room.A covered patio and a 60 m2 swimming-pool with a panoramic view of Guadiana Valley assure pleasant coolness in the summer.
