Monte Dos Pensamentos

Frommer's Review

A real discovery, this antique manorial house lies 2km (1 1/4 miles) from Estremoz in a setting of orange trees and olive groves. The staff will instantly link you to the area, renting mountain bikes and directing you to a stable if you want to go horseback riding 8km (5 miles) away. This is a good place to catch up on some R & R, particularly in the citrus grove with its swimming pool. Dark-wood furnishings rest on terra-cotta floors throughout, and the style is vaguely colonial. Hand-painted ceramics along with a big collection of dolls and local artifacts create the aura of a folk museum. In cooler weather, guests enjoy a blazing fireplace in the lounge. The little inn rents a double or suite in the main house and two well-equipped apartments on the grounds, each with kitchenette and fireplace (one of these units is air-conditioned).
