About
Herdade da Matinha is a charming rural hotel nestled in the heart of the Alentejo countryside, surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and centuries-old oak trees. The estate consists of four historic houses that host 35 private rooms and suites ranging from cosy family rooms to luxurious king‑size suites with kitchenette and private balcony. Guests are welcomed into a tranquil environment that blends rustic elegance with modern comforts, featuring an outdoor pool, a wellness shala for yoga and massages, and a farm‑to‑table restaurant serving traditional Alentejo cuisine with organic produce and local wines. Beyond the hotel, the property offers a growing array of experiences such as hiking, cycling, horseback riding, surfing, wine tastings, traditional medronho distillation, and guided tours of the Rota Vicentina trail network. The combined focus on nature, wellness, cuisine and sustainability makes Herdade da Matinha a perfect getaway for families, couples, wellness seekers, nature lovers, and foodies alike.
