Restored by Lisbon-based architects with a sharp eye for heritage detail, this six-suite villa in Alcácer do Sal is the kind of place where every room stands out. The walled courtyard brings things together – sun loungers, alfresco dining, and a sense of unhurried Alentejo afternoons. Inside, the grand dining room and cosy snug with a wood-burning fireplace cater equally well to convivial evenings and quiet ones, while daily housekeeping and breakfast keep the pace easy. Beyond the walls, the Sado Estuary offers flamingos and bottlenose dolphins by boat, and the old town's whitewashed streets are there to wander at will.
