Lilases Boutique House & Garden

If you want to go on holiday in Portugal, you will quickly come across popular but rather overcrowded cities such as Lisbon or Porto. But a little gem in the centre of the Alto Alentejo region remains hidden from view. This is where the Lilases is located, a 19th century manor house that has been restored into a beautiful boutique hotel.

The name says it all. Lilás means lilac in Portuguese, which sums up the tasteful interior design style of this retreat. Flower gardens, detailed decoration and glamorous high ceilings emphasise a perfect combination of classic and modern style. Lilac is the colour of spirituality, peace and serenity, which can be found throughout the hotel. The owners' philosophy of creating a time to savour for their guests can be felt in every corner. 

Sixteen bright rooms and suites offer refuge in a luxurious oasis where nothing is left to chance. The staff is eager to fulfill your every need and desire. Friendly and courteous, the host will welcome you with a little refreshment and a brief anecdote about the history of the place. An outdoor pool, room service, a concierge service and free Wi-Fi in all areas emphasise the comprehensive amenities that you can enjoy at Lilases. 

The rooms are furnished with a desk, a coffee machine, a safe, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower, making them ideal for both couples and business travellers. This is an adults-only hotel, so nothing stands in the way of a romantic getaway.

A speciality also awaits you at breakfast. English, Italian or American dishes are served daily, which you can select yourself and eat wherever you like, regardless of regular breakfast times: By the pool, in the garden, on the veranda or in your room - the comfort of the guests is the top priority here. A selection of snacks and light meals is also available throughout the day.

Dinner is a real highlight. This must be booked at least 72 hours in advance. Chef Dona Maria is happy to cater to your individual wishes and uses local ingredients in the preparation of the fresh delicacies. The seasonal menus are inspired by the flavours of the Alentejo and are combined with carefully selected wines from the sommelier to create unforgettable evenings.

Every day between 17.00 and 23.00 you can visit the bar "mise en place". The bartender will be happy to give you tips for the perfect cocktail at the end of a relaxing day.

The location of the boutique hotel is romantic and the perfect destination for those seeking peace and tranquillity. Around the picturesque village of Mora, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Alentejo on a hike or while fishing. You are also welcome to bring your dog with you. 

To summarise, the Lilases is an accommodation where time has a special meaning. You can take the time to enjoy the ubiquitous luxury and discover a land rich in history, delicacies and traditions that go back centuries.
