A stay, imagined
Life at Quinta do Paral
Picture your arrival: your driver meets you at Lisbon Airport, the luggage is taken care of, and before long you are in Vidigueira, where Quinta do Paral waits. A contemporary wine hotel among vineyards in the southern Alentejo.
Working winery and vineyard views set the tone for the days ahead. The restaurant serves Alentejo cooking paired with estate wines. It is a stay we recommend especially for wine lovers, couples, privacy seekers.
Beyond the hotel, Alentejo unfolds at your own pace. The Alentejo is the Portugal of wide horizons: cork oaks scattered across golden plains, olive groves, white villages crowned by castles and a sky so dark at night that the region is a certified Starlight destination.
