A stay, imagined
Life at Torre de Palma Wine Hotel
Picture your arrival: your driver meets you at Lisbon Airport, the luggage is taken care of, and before long you are in Monforte, where Torre de Palma Wine Hotel waits. A medieval tower and farm estate turned into a serene wine hotel.
Medieval tower and estate and own winery set the tone for the days ahead. Restaurant Palma serves Alentejo cooking with estate wines. It is a stay we recommend especially for couples, wine lovers.
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.
