The hosts were extremely helpful and kind. the location was perfect t if you are looking for a quite isolated place but at the same time close to restaurants and supermarkets. You can enjoy the weather, nature and a beautiful property.

Herdade do Vau is the kind of peaceful romantic picturesque getaway where you arrive for relaxation and quietly wonder if you will ever be emotionally strong enough to leave. Founded on Alentejo soil older than most small European governments, this estate sits near the Guadiana River which has been minding its own business for thousands of years while humans come here to drink Riso and make questionable decisions. We came during the off season which meant two things. One. It was a bit colder. Two. We basically had the entire estate to ourselves like some mildly delusional aristocrats who inherited land by accident. Highly recommended if you enjoy silence, privacy, and pretending you own several vineyards you absolutely do not. We met Miguel the owner, who radiates the calm confidence of a man who negotiates directly with the earth. Then there is Ines.. pleasant, welcoming, kind, and somehow running the whole place while looking like she has never experienced stress or even a slightly raised pulse. Teresa the friendly superb cook launched a full scale culinary attack which included cheese platter, duck rice, to pair with two bottles of Riso.. enough food to make our stomachs consider filing official complaints. NOTE : The nearest town with restaurants is about a twenty minute drive away. So do yourself a favor and choose the in house dinner for thirty five euro, which I highly recommend unless you enjoy night driving through rural silence where even the stars mind their own business. Lucky and Shot, the property’s two hunting dogs who patrol the grounds with the enthusiasm of security guards who were paid in sausages. They stared at us like they knew our secrets and accepted them anyway. Daytime was for sitting by the pool sipping beer with panoramic views dramatic enough to trigger spontaneous philosophical thoughts. Nighttime was for the fireplace, wine, Christmas music, and a level of comfort so deep it felt illegal in several countries.
