HERDADE DOS DELGADOS ^{* * * *}

In 2021, Herdade dos Delgados was awarded the Portugal Leading Boutique Resort prize by the World Travel Awards. A place of all the stars, considered an open-air planetarium, the starry vault that covers the entire Alqueva region, and extends over an area of some 3000 km2, is a natural observatory and a privileged place to observe the sky. A stellar connection between Man and Nature and an invitation to contemplation, inner peace and romance, emerging under the signs of the zodiac and nestling between the Milky Way and Cassiopeia, among many other constellations and stars easily observable, even with a naked eye.

Heaven is only a glance away, but everything else is not far away either. The walled town of Mourão with its medieval castle is just five minutes away, and Lisbon is only a two-hour drive. However, everything you're looking for in a retreat in communion with nature is right there, just outside the window of every room and apartment in this natural resort.

With views of the lake or Mourão Castle, the 27 rooms, equivalent to 60 beds, are organized by different typologies:

- Double rooms overlooking the lake or Mourão Castle

- Superior two-bedroom apartments

- Two-bedroom duplex apartments

Some with terrace and kitchenette, for greater guest autonomy. A diversified offering designed for private, romantic retreats for couples or meaningful family trips, in a destination that is an invitation to contemplation, inner peace and well-being. Guests don't have to worry about a thing. Even the slippers and bathrobe are on us.

A space out of time and a time out of space

Herdade dos Delgados stands out not only as a vacation destination, but as a unique experience in all senses and for all senses. With its roots in the land of cork and holm oaks and its eyes turned towards all the stars in the sky, a hotel was born, with simple, pure lines, concerned not to disturb what was already there, not to pinch ecosystems, not to impose itself arrogantly. Rather, it appears in the landscape as just another element, a simple neighbor in total harmony with the landscape, totally committed to the environment, with the respect it deserves and the desire for its conservation. A solid sustainability policy adopted even in the architectural design phase, resulting in an ethical and responsible construction, using materials, techniques and methodologies in keeping with the simplicity of the Alentejo style, rethought and adapted to today's ecological requirements and comfort needs.

Loving and appreciating Nature is more than just a feeling of wonder and admiration. It implies doing so with total respect and veneration for Nature, without leaving any trace of our passage, and this is a daily exercise that the hotel assumes in all its actions.
