Renowned for its unspoiled natural beauty, historical treasures, and serene lifestyle, this area is the perfect backdrop for a tranquil retreat.

Additionally, two independent ‘eco-pop’ colored cabins nestled amidst the olive groves provide guests with a unique accommodation experience.

Guests are treated to a sumptuous breakfast with a variety of options. The menu includes fresh fruit juices, local or homemade pastries, house-made marmalades, locally produced honey and cheese, and a selection of meats. Guests can enjoy their meals on the patio or inside the dining room. The villa offers several luxurious amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool with a deck, a lounge area, meticulously landscaped gardens, and olive fields. Additional services, such as a laundry service and taxi service to Evora or Lisbon airport, can be arranged upon request. Free parking with a charging station for electric cars is also available for guests’ convenience.

Strategically situated for exploration, Villa Extramuros provides easy access to the historic town of Evora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
