Vasco Gallego and his wife have a quite famous restaurant in Lisbon, but what they really appreciate is living in Vale de Gaio, surrounded by nature. This small hotel, a former “pousada”, lies right on the shore of the Torrão water reservoir.

Seated on the outside terrace, where various lounge chairs, small tables and four poster beds await the guests, you can enjoy the tranquillity and the amazing sunsets at the end of the day.Although you are in the middle of the Alentejo, there is something cosmopolitan in the atmosphere, helped by the chill out music they play.

The hotel has 21 rooms, most of them with river view. Although being nice and comfortable, they remind you of their more simple origins when the hotel was a “pousada” and lack the charm of the rest of the house. The restaurant will welcome you with a variety of typical Portuguese dishes of high quality and flavour prepared from local produce. Vasco grows a choice of vegetable and herbs that he uses in his dishes himself. His enthusiasm is contagious and makes you feel at home in these very special surroundings.

The Vale do Gaio is the perfect place to enjoy sports and outdoor activities such as rafting, cycling, fishing and hunting or simply lie outside and rest.The Estalagem Vale de Gaio is just 15 minutes by car from Alcácer do Sal and a one hour drive from Lisbon.

Our stay in Vale do Gaio was just incredible! All you ask when you want to escape from city madness, work and just relax. Perfect spot, amazing views and super friendly staff, Vasco is a super host really nice to meet him and enjoy his “creation”. When you want to relax and get away you also want to eat, Vale do Gaio has really good food, porco preto, the shrimp tempura and the ceviche wow. Definitely a place to go back.

Magnífico Hotel en El Alentejo. Las instalaciones acaban de ser renovadas y al maravilloso entorno exterior se unen unas habitaciones muy confortables y agradables, especialmente las que tienen terraza con vista exterior. Los propietarios y el resto del personal son muy amables y están pendientes de los huéspedes. Muy agradable la zona de piscina con hamacas confortables, algunas de ellas más alejadas por si se desea mayor tranquilidad. Muy buena comida en el restaurante servida en una terraza estupenda. Si se va a visitar esta zona, este hotel es una magnífica opción.

Comfortable and extremely relaxing. Cleanliness should be better. Dirty dishes, waste on the tables and near the pool in the morning, some dust in the bedroom...

DIe Abgeschiedenheit des Hotels und die damit verbundende Ruhe und Stille erfährt man am besten, wenn man sich das kostenlose Kajak ausleiht und in die 'Fjorde' des Stausees paddelt. Selten kann man den Sternenhimmel so klar sehen, am besten auf den mit viel Kissen belegten Liegen auf der oberen Terrasse. Bei einer ersten Tasse Kaffee kann man als Frühaufsteher die Sonne über dem See aufgehen sehen und beobachten wie der Nebel übers Wasser zieht und sich langsam auflöst. In einer der Cabanes hatten wir einen gemütlichen Lesetag eingelegt und genossen den lecker gemixten Gin Tonic. Das Hotel pflegt den Vintage Style und kommt auch mit der abwechslungsreichen Lounge Musik recht locker daher. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, hat jedoch Luft nach oben was die Frische des Obstes und die Vielfalt betrifft. Abendessen auf der Terrasse war sehr gut, ebenso der Service und die Freundlichkeit des Personals.
