Discover the Alentejo with Caractère
Whitewashed villages on hilltops, vineyards stretching to the horizon and cork oaks in wonderfully curious shapes: the Alentejo gives you plenty to explore. And we haven’t even mentioned the food yet. For that, you’d better pull up a chair. A journey through the Alentejo takes you to Évora’s historic streets, hilltop Monsaraz and the rugged Atlantic coast. With Caractère, stay in distinctive boutique hotels that make just as much of an impression as their surroundings. You might almost forget you had outings planned.
Why choose an Alentejo holiday?
The Alentejo is a region for anyone who loves discovering beautiful places and eating well. Wander among the whitewashed houses of a medieval town, admire the plains from the castle walls and find just the spot you were looking for on the village square.
At the table, enjoy local olive oil, flavoursome black pork and a glass of Alentejo wine. Even bread takes centre stage in traditional dishes such as açorda and migas. The Alentejo treats you to characterful boutique hotels surrounded by nature and authentic tascas where every meal is a feast of flavours. End your day with a glass of local wine on an inviting terrace as the sun slowly sets.
A journey through the Alentejo takes you to the heart of the Portuguese countryside. Book your holiday and let the beauty of this Portuguese treasure sweep you off your feet. Adeus!
What can you do in the Alentejo?
Explore Évora, wander through the lanes of Monsaraz and visit Marvão, where the castle towers above the landscape. At the prehistoric Almendres stone circle, travel even further into the past. Fancy some sea air? Head to the beaches near Vila Nova de Milfontes or walk along the impressive cliffs of Cabo Sardão.
Along the way, visit a wine estate, admire a local potter’s work and stop for a meal at a traditional tasca. Back at your boutique hotel, the pool or a lovely spot on the terrace awaits. Add a glass of wine and you’ll have plenty to chat about from the day’s discoveries.
