and its

Herdade da Maroteira is a farm on the foothills of the Serra D’Ossa, in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Owned by an Anglo-Portuguese family  for over 5 generations, the 540-hectare farm was originally dedicated to cork forestry and livestock, activities administrated from its farmhouse built in the traditional style, overlooking the surrounding countryside.

 

Today, the estate also includes a vineyard, which produces an internationally acclaimed wine you can taste. It also has the perfect accommodation for agro-tourism on the farmhouse, a lodge and a cottage.  The amazing location offers opportunities for a number of country activities that bring you closer to nature.
