Paraiso Escondido - Hotel in Alentejo
Paraiso Escondido, Casa Nova da Cruz, 7630-568 Sao Teotonio, Alentejo
Southern Portugal,
Portugal
Take the steeply winding road up and up, through Eucalyptus and Cork Oak forest, to emerge at this traditional-style, modern Alentejo house fronted by a sparkling swimming pool with amazing views. Whether you choose to stay in the house, a suite in the beautiful grounds or a bungalow on stilts high in the trees you'll unbend nicely.
Connecting with nature, and yourself, is the aim. Find quiet spots outdoors for doing yoga or meditating, take a stroll around the grounds or strike out for wonderful walks and spot rare birds. Return to cosy wood fires, an honesty bar and farm-to-table food, including veg and fruit from the owners' garden in season. A passion for sustainability is apparent in design and food.
The closest beaches are 15-25 minutes by car and include Zambujeira do Mar - Western Alentejo has one of the wildest and least developed coastlines in Europe and the Rota Vicentina coast path runs nearby. You’re close to lovely, unspoilt villages where you'll find some of the best food in Portugal.

Berny Serrão & Glenn Cullen:
- The South West Alentejo and the Costa Vicentina National Park is one of the finest preserved stretches of European coastline, from Porto Covo in the Alentejo, to Burgau in the Algarve. The Park can be visited by walks along the famous Rota Vicentina.
- The Rota Vicentina comprises 400km of Fisherman’s Trails and Historical Routes.The beautiful River Mira is nearby and has been acknowledged as the cleanest river in Europe. Canoeing and boat trips can be arranged.
- Many bird species can be seen, such as rare fish eagles. The rarest species is the white stork, given that this is the only place in the world where they build their nests in the seashore rocks.
- The beaches are highly popular amongst surfers, and are some of the finest in the country. There are a tremendous variety of natural and unspoiled beaches, including long stretches of sand and small beaches nestled between the cliffs and rocks
- The Alentejo is still relatively undiscovered and is often referred to as the Tuscany of Portugal with its beautiful sun drenched rolling landscapes dotted with sleepy villages surrounded with cork trees and olive groves and its wonderful gastronomy.
- Food lovers will enjoy some of the best seafood and shellfish from the unpolluted waters of the Costa Vicentina.The wines from this region are a hidden gem, with many wonderful Wineries producing world-class wines.
