Lugar Minas da Caveira - Hotel in Alentejo
Lugar Minas da Caveira, IC1 Km 599, 7570-107 Canal Caveira, Alentejo
Southern Portugal,
Portogallo
Bedrooms are spread out over three buildings: the Palacio, the Casa do Caseiro and the Cottage. All are tastefully decorated with high ceilings, air conditioning, an honesty bar and a work station. In the Palacio you'll find a grand piano, chess and cards – it's a convivial space to spend time in, and also where food is served. Breakfast is a feast of local produce: cheeses, hams, local breads and fruit, eggs and bacon on request. Lunches, snacks and dinners are equally fresh and seasonal.
Bedrooms (doubles can be twins) have smart en suite bathrooms, white towelling robes and doors opening onto terraces with views. Spend your days cooling off in the pool, taking a book to a quiet terrace, or wandering freely through woods, hills, orchards and a small banana plantation on the estate - look out for a Buddhist temple and statues.
There are restaurants in the nearby village, but you can have lunches and suppers here, and the beach is close.
