Our favourite rooms
Quinta do Paral toasts to its locale in various ways, but the hotel’s design is its most aesthetic form of celebration: artisan-made furnishings, traditional stone archways and latticework, and walnut-wood details adorn the rooms. Take in the vineyards from above in a Juliet balcony-toting Superior Room; the views are just as special from the private furnished patio in a Signature Terrace Suite, which also has a double-sided fireplace indoors.
Poolside
The sky-blue pool’s setting is the picture of Portugal: it sits between the whitewashed quinta and verdant vines, and its terracotta-tiled terrace is dotted with rattan furniture (ivory sunloungers are on hand for any post-tasting siestas).
Packing tips
Tastebuds primed for sipping your way around the region’s wineries. And your Rimowa suitcase will feel at home here — the owner’s family founded the luxury luggage brand.
Also
Essential-oil massages or hydrating facials can be arranged in the hotel’s treatment room or in your own quarters on request.
Pet‐friendly
Pets are welcome in any room for €40 each a night, which includes a bed and bowl, but the hotel’s communal areas are for humans only. See more pet-friendly hotels in Alentejo.
Children

Sustainability efforts
Your green-minded hosts take their pristine natural surroundings as inspiration for a host of sustainability initiatives. Solar panels generate energy while light sensors and LED bulbs conserve it; glass straws and bottles replace plastic ones; and materials are locally sourced. The estate’s garden and orchard provide fresh produce and the vineyards are certified by Alentejo’s sustainability programme.
