São Lourenço do Barrocal is a hotel andmonte alentejano, located in a wild corner of the Alentejo, Portugal, in the foothills of medieval Monsaraz and nearby the Alqueva lake. Within a 780-hectare estate that has been in the same family for over 200 years, it has its heart at an ancient small farming village, which has been brought back to the rhythms of rural daily life as a remarkable hotel of understated luxury, set amidst ancient holm oaks, olive groves and vineyards.
Here, all the comforts of a contemporary lifestyle are cultivated so guests can have the utmost experience while staying on a working farm, in communion with nature, heritage and people of all ages, being part of a budding community.
São Lourenço do Barrocal comprises a winery for the creation of its first-class single-estate wines, two farm to table restaurants respecting the flavour and simplicity of the food of Alentejo, a farm shop selling Portuguese contemporary crafts, regional delicacies and the estate’s own produce and a spa by Susanne Kaufmann, the renowned Austrian brand of organic treats. It also features two outdoor pools (adults and children), an organic vegetable garden and orchard, stables with a horse riding ring and a set of indoor and outdoor activities.
Lisbon airport is the closest to São Lourenço do Barrocal (165 km/2hr 10 min.).
The nearest train station is in Évora (50 km / 45 min.).
The menu at this restaurant is a reflection of the hotel's farm to table approach: Alentejo is the main staple and they use only the best seasonal organic produce sourced from their very own vegetable garden and from other small local producers. It is open every day from 7:30 am to 10:30 pm serving breakfasts, lunches and dinners. It also offers two outdoor terraces, offering views to life on the estate.
In the restaurant Hortelão by the pool and the organic garden, you can taste vegetables on the grill, alongside delicious certified organic veal, acorn-fed pork of the Alentejo and fish from the Alqueva lake. The restaurant is open for dinners only, from 8:00 pm onwards, during late Spring/ Summer season.
In the old olive oil mill room, surrounded by the past and the present of the estate, lays the hotel bar. Whether sitting at the counter, in a more private leather chair or in a table set outside with the sun setting in the horizon, every nook and cranny is worthy of a toast. Take a sip of Barrocal's wine tradition with a glass of one of theirwines or enjoy a refreshing cocktail made with the best products from Alentejo and the surrounding area.
For decades it was one of the three water norias that fed the old vegetable garden of the estate, today it’s the oasis next to the pool where you can cool off and take a break from all the sunbathing. This pool bar is ready to shelter you from the Alentejo heat with the help of a menu of light meals and cold drinks. From the early morning to the end of the afternoon, enjoy this little corner of Barrocal that’s only available for guests, during the warmer season of the year.
