More detailed description

Surrounded by 17 acres of nature, our individual rooms, suites, and villas offer a soothing break from day-to-day life. This gorgeous property can welcome large and small groups, whether for a holiday, private event, or company retreat. The resort offers a plethora of amenities and activities including three restaurants, four swimming pools, a spa, a gym, a tennis court, a yoga pavilion, an organic garden, and an orchard.

Stylish luxury accommodation in Portugal
The resort’s villas take inspiration from the region’s traditional cabana houses. Their wooden structure beautifully contrasts with the floor-to-ceiling windows that allow guests to fully take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The villas have two to five bedrooms, and all boast ensuite bathrooms, a private pool, a fully-equipped kitchen, an indoor fireplace, and spacious outdoor areas. The rooms and suites of the estate vary in size, but each has its own outdoor space and large bay windows that bring nature in. All types of accommodations feature state-of-the-art amenities and include everything needed for a comfortable stay, such as air conditioning, underfloor heating, personal mini-bar, high-speed internet, television, and impeccable service. Throughout the estate, the rustic chic decor combines a minimalist color palette and clean lines with the rougher textures of natural materials. Reclaimed wood headboards, rattan lampshades, exposed beams, or leather sofas all add character to the modern aesthetic of the rooms and villas.

Discover typical Portuguese dishes in a sustainable environment
To enjoy the delicacies of Portuguese cuisine, guests can either have their own chef cook for them in the comfort of their own villa or try one of the estate’s three restaurants. Seasonal menus put a modern twist on typical Portuguese and Alentejo dishes using local products sourced from local fishermen and growers, thereby fostering important connections with the local community. We also recommend the original experience of dining in the middle of the estate’s organic garden, surrounded by delicate aromas, and gazing at the stars to round off a magical day.

The perfect stay for work or play
We offer a wide array of activities for families, friends, or corporate teams looking for fun and original team-building activities. Our guests can enjoy luxury spa treatments, cooking workshops, baking activities for children, yoga and pilates classes, a tennis court and gym, and four swimming pools including an indoor heated pool and a children’s pool. Many more activities can be arranged by our team to help you discover the riches of the area, including horseback riding on the beach, dolphin and bird watching, sailing and windsurfing bike riding, or wine tasting.

Private and corporate events
The estate has several indoor and outdoor areas that can host private and corporate events, from wedding parties to product launches, executive retreats, team-building events, or board meetings. Our event space can accommodate up to 350 people standing, or 250 seated. It includes an indoor area with floor-to-ceiling windows, a heated terrace with stunning ocean views, and an adjacent bar.

An ideal location any time of the year
Located only an hour’s drive away from Lisbon, this tranquil area on the West coast of Portugal is the epitome of slow living. Surrounded by sand dunes, vineyards, rice fields, and pristine beaches, it is a wonderful place to unwind, relax, and enjoy the stunning landscapes of the region. The climate of Portugal makes this property a wonderful place to stay no matter the season, whether to cool off in the shade of majestic pine trees in Summer, or gaze at wonderful landscapes by the warmth of the fireplace and enjoy luxury spa treatments in the off-season.

More detailed description

The estate, which dates back to the 14th century, has its own lush private park, classical gardens, and even a moat. The manor can host parties or conferences for up to 350 people and also welcomes individuals looking for a tranquil getaway. Thanks to its very own windmills, the property is the first and only 100% carbon dioxide-neutral estate in Denmark.

Traditional style with modern amenities
Many rooms have timber-beamed ceilings, large bathrooms with bathtubs, and panoramic views of the serene, cobbled interior courtyard or quaint footbridge and surrounding forest. All the bedrooms come with Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, and the manor’s several drawing rooms feature leather sofas with board games and puzzles before an open fire, meaning our guests can enjoy all types of entertaining activities. They can also relish the sensory experience of the breakfast room with its cascading arches from the 1600s, and satisfy their love of literature in the library. The hotel restaurant serves classic and modern Nordic cuisine cooked from local ingredients. Outside, children will delight in the playground and picnic areas, and guests can enjoy outdoor dining on the terraces with sun umbrellas or relax on the lounge chairs. In a clearing in the forest, there is a special campsite with 6 sleeping huts, a covered terrace, a large fire pit and barbecue area with tables, a hot spring “wilderness bath”, and a barrel sauna. The pool house, with an indoor heated pool and sauna, is open to all guests and conference delegates.

A state-of-the-art corporate event venue
There are 5 conference rooms in the manor and another 5 in the farm buildings. The smallest welcomes a party of 8, ideal for intimate gatherings such as board meetings, while the largest, often used for screenings, is 365 square meters and can seat 300 people. For a more nature-immersive experience, the eco-friendly cabin in the forest with its wood-burning stove, fire pit, and wooden terrace can accommodate 120 people and would make a lovely and original venue for a PR event or corporate retreat. All conference rooms offer free Wi-Fi along with modern IT equipment. With its romantic rural landscapes, the estate is also a popular wedding venue, and we can cater to ceremonies big and small, in the middle of the forest, or in the charming barn.

Outdoor team-building activities
Whether you are organizing a private holiday or a company event, we can arrange a plethora of outdoor activities to entertain your family or foster team spirit. Guests may enjoy mountain biking or hiking through the forest, canoeing or sailing in the moat, archery, or clay pigeon shooting on the grounds. A climbing park within the estate offers 3.5 kilometres of different level challenges from a climbing wall to a zip wire circuit in the treetops. The park is also home to an extremely diverting 18-hole “football golf” course and a Go Bounce track with interconnected trampolines. Qualified instructors on staff will organize team-building activities and guarantee safe and enjoyable experiences in which to test creativity, communication, and cooperation skills. Additional offsite activities, such as a game of Archery Attack or group canoeing, are perfect for team bonding. Located only an hour’s drive from Copenhagen and Odense, the property is easily accessible from abroad, and transfers can be arranged.
