    Idyllic setting. Close to centre but very country. The manager was very helpful and informative re the history of the property and advice on local restaurants.

    This little hotel was a gem, perfectly located just minutes from the city but in a wonderful countryside location. Everything was wonderful. A great base for exploration and wine tasting. It felt like the “real Portugal."

    The surroundings are just astonishing. I liked to walk in the park, past vineyards, olive trees, the little lake, seeing rabbits run through the lane, and the horse:)

    Beautiful property in the countryside. Great for lounging, star gazing, listening to the wind in the trees and unwinding. Junior suite was decorated very comfortably and stylish. Lots of room for luggage and the private patio with lounge chairs...

    This is a very special place. If a touch of faded grandeur, prehistoric standing stones, objets d'art, excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, and enough space for everyone to get lost in appeal, then this is for you!

Property info

Nowadays Casa do Governador is a property with 3 “Houses”: 6-bedroom Villa - Casa Original (Original House), 5-bedroom Villa - Dourada (Golden) and 1-bedroom Villa - Casa dos caseiros. The 28acres property is located in an ecological reserve area, of which 5acres are vineyards. In the 19th century, our 6-bedroom Villa was used as an infirmary and quarantine place for the old friars of Convento do Espinheiro, where, according to the legend, vines were seeded and wine was produced by the friars. In 2002 our 5-bedroom Villa was used as a family home presenting an unusual architecture and in 2020 it was rebuilt. Each room has a personalized design, bringing us back to the last century, but with contemporary details. Our 1-bedroom - Casa dos caseiros (as its name implies, was the home of those responsible for the property when the owners were absent) - consists of a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. All divisions are equipped with technology to meet the visitor's need and guarantee their comfort.
