Refugio da Vila

Refugio da VilaAlentejo is considered to be Portugal's most authentic and picturesque region. It is in this peaceful country setting that we founded Refúgio da Vila Rural Hotel and Cooking School. Located in Portel, a small town outside Évora, the hotel is set in a Vila manor house, complete with pool and patios. Between cooking lessons in a kitchen that opens to a courtyard, and tours of the unspoiled countryside, our guests can relax in simple, but elegant rooms.

Area information

Evora is a World Heritage Site and it is only 25 minutes away from the hotel. The city of Beja, however, also has a lot to offer and it is well worth a visit. The mediaeval village of Monsaraz is 50 minutes away from the hotel and is one of the most beautiful places in Portugal. The Alqueva dam is the biggest artificial lake in Europe and it is just 10 minutes away from the hotel. Several aquatic sports can be practiced in this area.
