It may not be the easiest to find but you absolutely wish for nothing less.
When you walk into the courtyard it is peaceful and tranquil.
The staff are an absolute pleasure.
Please remember this is NOT a hotel but a true slice of Portuguese living.
It is rustic and charming.

If, like me, you have cold feet then keep your socks on. The terracotta tiles in the rooms are cold. We stayed for a rainy couple of days in April and the heating in the room is easy to use and once warmed, the room (Quinta 7) stayed warm for a long time. Too warm as my husband had to open a window :)

Lovely windows overlooking the garden.

Breakfast is a simple affair but perfectly organised.
There is no evening meal here but plenty of wonderful places to eat in Alcochete.

We will absolutely be returning.
What a great find.
Thank you so much for being so welcoming and friendly. It was a pleasure to stay with you.

This is a nice historical hotel very well located in the old village of Alcochete in the south of Lisbon. Typical, pretty, charming welcome, we were offered an orange juice and cake. Comfortable beds and clean room. The breakfast was ok. But everything is far from perfect. We were there in February, heating was provided by an inverter air conditioning in the living room, at the top of the wall. Our apartment was equipped with a mezzanine bedroom and all the heat went up the mezzanine. As a result, it was cold in the living room and much too hot in the mezzanine. But the most terrible was the wood stove. We did not use ours and despite that we were smoked by that of the next room : the chimney was common to both rooms and the smoke came to us through our stove. The neighbors had to stop making fire. It took several hours for their fire to extinct and to get rid of smoke. We were probably also sharing the same boiler as the next morning we came short of hot water. You have to know also that in the evening there is no service and no one at the reception.

This is the 16th manor house of what was once a large estate. Though much of the land has been sold over the years, the walled property still covers most of a block. We chose Alcochete because we had an early flight the next morning and didn't want to battle Lisbon traffic; this was a great solution--20 minutes to the airport and much more character than a chain hotel. Alcochete is a small village, but enjoyable for our last night in Portugal.

Our room was large, clean and furnished with antiques.The woman who welcomed us was very friendly and showed us around the property--a lovely walk down a bougainvillea alley, sheep, an orchard, the swimming pool. We let her know we had to leave before breakfast to catch our flight, and she delivered a tray of fruit, breads, yogurt and milk (room had a mini fridge) so we could eat before leaving. Thank you for the warm hospitality.
