19.09.2025
Experience Quinta do Paral in Alentejo—quiet luxury, fine wines, signature gastronomy, and bespoke moments in Portugal’s most serene estate.
Crossing the gates of Quinta do Paral, in the timeless Vidigueira, Alentejo, feels like stepping into another dimension. A realm of serenity and refinement, where time slows, nature speaks softly, and every detail has been carefully curated to awaken the senses. Here, quiet luxury is not a concept; it is a way of being.
From the very first moment, the estate reveals its poetry. After leaving the car, guests are welcomed with a graceful golf cart ride to the bar, where a table awaits, set with fresh fruit, artisanal delicacies, and refreshing waters. The pool glimmers under the Alentejo sun, an invitation to pause, breathe, and prepare for the journey ahead.
The Manor House: Heritage and Elegance Reimagined
A short walk through the estate unveils the Manor House, a meticulously restored 19th-century noble residence. This exclusive retreat embodies quiet sophistication, with four refined bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and luminous living and dining rooms.
On the ground floor, a queen bedroom with private lounge opens onto a wide wooden deck terrace. Ascend the grand double staircase—or take the private interior elevator—to the first floor, where a light-filled salon offers a dining and living area separated by a striking double fireplace. Here, three further bedrooms await: one twin with a writing desk and two queen suites, each with a private bathroom featuring walk-in showers. One of the queen suites also offers its own intimate sitting area.
Staying in the Manor House grants access to exclusive privileges: bespoke dinners created by a private chef, chauffeur-driven experiences, and curated services designed to elevate every moment.
