Quinta de Santo António

Páteo dos Solares

Elvas

In the heart of Alto Alentejo and situated between Elvas and Badajoz, Quinta de Santo António is a veritable oasis for those who seek tranquillity, beauty and superior quality of service.

Quinta de Santo António currently encompasses 17 hectares and lies within the Herdade da Amoreira estate. It portrays the Alentejo in an atmosphere rich in tradition which takes one back in time.

The main building, in conjunction with its chapel erected in 1715, embodies the finest architecture of the traditional estates, and blends harmoniously with the XVIII gardens and the distinctive rural Alentejo landscape.

Taking into consideration the architecture of the ancestral building, the interior was completely restored and currently possesses 30 rooms in which the emphasis is on tailor-made traditional decoration.

Each room is equipped with a private bathroom in marble, hairdryer, towels and linen, amenities kit, extra pillows, air conditioning, television, telephone and a private safe.

Facilities on offer to guests at this air-conditioned establishment include a lobby area with a 24-hour reception, a hotel safe, a café, a bar, a games room, a TV lounge, a restaurant and conference facilities. Guests may also take advantage of the WLAN/Internet access, the room and laundry services, the bicycle rental station (charges apply), parking and the children's playground.

Estremoz

Located in the heart of the Upper Alentejo, Estremoz has a long history, which many trace back to the rime of the Roman occupation. The town played a valiant part in the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, and its name appears to mean “extreme place”, in other words a borderland between two military domains. King Afonso III gave orders for a settlement to be established and granted the first royal charter on 22 December 1258.

The Pateo dos Solares has 40 double rooms divided into standard, luxury and suites. With a sober, rustic decoration yet modern and fully equipped, the rooms give an ample and comfortable welcome which characterizes the good reception of the Alentejo.

All of the rooms are equipped with private bathroom, air conditioner, telephone with external line, hair dryer, amenities, satellite television with remote control, safe, mini bar and wireless internet. Some rooms are fitted with fireplaces and some bathrooms have hydro massage baths.

A favoured leisure spot in the garden, the outdoor swimming pool is the recommended cooling place during the Alentejano summer . Here leisure and freshness contribute to a feeling of well-being, which ideally accompany local cocktails and traditional Alentjano bread.
