Many hotels think that they are a design-hotel. Also the Herdade da Cortesia considers itself as a design-hotel, but here this term is absolutely fair. Located near the Maranhão lake, this property will completely impress you. Glass, wood, unusual architecture, many curves and lots of style are clearly visible even from the outside. Take advantage of the infinity pool and enjoy the panoramic views from the hotel's gourmet restaurant. Your perfect vacation in Portugal starts right here!

Each of the 30 available rooms is a little gem: Floor to ceiling windows, elegant wooden flooring and a pleasant colour scheme will put you in a good mood. In addition to luxurious amenities, you will also find a flat-screen TV and a minibar stocked with all sorts of goodies. Relax at your private furnished terrace and watch the beautifully landscaped garden. So much harmony – you will hardly find it anywhere else.

Pure nature as far the eye can see: If youre lucky you may see partridges, hares, weasels or even wild boar here. Alentejo at its best is what you get with this accommodation; away from mass-tourism and holiday stress. Herdade da Cortesia focuses on luxury but also on environmental protection. Therefore, rent the environmentally friendly means of transportation bike or canoe directly at the reception-desk. Also, riding activities can be arranged for you. A small horse farm is just a 20-minute drive from this property. If necessary, you can take the hotel shuttle service to get to the city Avis or to Mora.
