Herdade das Barradas da Serra

Keeping the essence of the Alentejo area of Portugal, the Herdade das Barradas da Serra is simple, uncomplicated and unhurried. As a wise traveller once said about this region "it is one of the last spots where you really have freedom". Once you spend some time here, you will know what he meant. It all makes for a perfect antidote to stress and a pretty bewitching brew.

This particular accommodation is located at the foot of the Grândola hills and surrounded by a forest of oaks and cork trees that seem to go on forever, past the valleys and hills. It is a peaceful place but at the same time an 800-hectare working farm that has been in the hands of the same family for over five generations, producing cork and breeding sheep – you’ll see a lot of these here. And this family does know a thing or two about hospitality.

The Herdade das Barradas da Serra is a source of pride to the Dias family and it shows in everything they do. It is peace allied with comfort, the ten rooms all come with air conditioning plus a sitting area. It is recommended to visit the many unique charms of the areas, one of which are the superb Atlantic beaches 15 minutes away.

The hotel even adapts to the latest trend of remote work and offers a new library with shared workspace, living area, coffee machine, projector/screen and surround sound system, also ideal for group projects. Doesn't it sound great to wake up in the morning and open the window to nature, run through old cork oak forests, refresh your face in the stream that meanders through the middle of the mountain, and start your workday with a refreshed and motivated mind on the patio of your room, enjoying a snack from Alentejo?
