Luxurious Traditional Farmhouse on Alentejano Cork Farm

A 200 year old traditional Alentejano farmhouse on a 540ha working Cork Farm, with new swimming pool is available for weekends and short term lets. The farmhouse has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room with open fireplace, kitchen & a terrace with spectacular views over the surrounding plains.
Situated in beautiful countryside of cork trees, olive groves and vineyards. In the foothills of the Serra D’Ossa 20km south of Estremoz and 35km west of Evora. Ideal for sightseeing in a scenic and historic part of Portugal. Within easy reach, by motorway, of Lisbon 2hrs and Spain 1hr. The farm itself offers good opportunities for country walks, bird watching and quiet country life. Historical tours of Evora can also be arranged through a private guide.
There are a myriad of activities to enjoy on the farm. For the walkers or mountain bikers there are kilometers of footpaths around the 540 hectare farm for you to explore and for those wishing to venture further afield, the nearby peaks offer unrivalled views of the surrounding countryside. Serra d’Ossa lies at 500 metres above sea level and boasting one of the driest climates in Europe. The absence of light pollution makes this an astronomers’ paradise.
Bird watches can enjoy seeking out over 70 species of birds in the unique habitat provided by the cork forest, several of our past guests are members of the RSPB and have made lists of the birds they have seen / heard. Here is a list of a few: White Stork, Booted Eagle, Red Kite, Kestrel, Cuckoo, Tawny Owl, Hoopoe, Red-Rumped Swallow, Great Bustard, Little Bustard and Bee Eater. Visitors to the local damn include black winged stilts and the occasional avocet. Very occasionally, bustards can be seen in the lower plains.
Within a one-hour drive from the farm, you can also explore nearby towns including Evora (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Estremoz famed for its Saturday morning market, Vila Viçosa with its two royal palaces, Reguengos and even neighbouring Spain.
We offer guided walks in the cork forest.

Relaxing Vacation!

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint farmhouse and we were able to relax by the pool in the evenings. We had a lovely traditional Portuguese dinner in the local village and Paul was kind to give a a walking tour of the cork trees. Thank you for your hospitality!

A little piece of heaven

Book it now! Paul’s house is truly magnificent. It is the perfect combination of luxury and rustic. We liked it so much we changed our plans to tour the surrounding towns and instead spent two days lolling around the property. Paul is a tremendous host. He was kind enough to give us a small tour and explain the cork process to us and went above and beyond answering our many questions. There are lemon trees and orange trees that Paul encouraged us to enjoy which we did listening to the lambs baas and the bells around their necks. And the infinity pool! Book it now

Awesome stay

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the cork farm. Paul is an excellent host and on site to help in any way if needed. Evora is 35 minutes away and an easy drive. We dined in Evora a couple of nights and the rest of the week we cooked at the house. We liked to eat outside in the patio with some great local wines. Great views too; we recommend this place highly.

Amazing property, rustic home, modern pool

As advertised but I would emphasize that this is a truly a rustic and historic property. It has a massive charm factor but it is hundreds of years old and has some of the foibles of an old home. Paul, the host was great walking us through these when we checked in and being there if anything minor happened. He also was great with recommendations and was super accommodating to our family. The pool and grounds are truly spectacular and make a sty here more than worth it. It is also a really nice and not over tourististed part of Portugal and was the perfect way to ease my family into our trip while getting adjusted to time zone changes.

We Didn't Want to Leave

We had only two nights to spend at the farmhouse, and we wished we could have stayed for a week. Or two? This is an idyllic spot, quiet, peaceful, nourishing to all of the senses. You are surrounded by olive trees and cork trees, and rolling hills of vineyards; there are farm dogs and a cat to keep you company. You can listen to the soft pealing of the sheep bells and stargaze at night. Paul is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful. He provided a short tour and explanation of cork harvesting; directed us to a nearby supermarket for groceries; and alerted us to the existence of a busy Saturday market in Estremoz, which we would have otherwise missed. For those seeking a little outdoor exercise, there is a two-mile easy hike from the farmhouse to a chapel on a nearby hill. You can follow this exertion with an excellent lunch (Paul made reservations for us) at the village restaurant, O Chana Do Bernardino. I would have been happy to eat at this restaurant every night for a week. Paul shared wines from his brother's winery -- excellent, and excellent value. All in all, I cannot recommend this spot highly enough. It would be a great location for a family vacation, with the beautiful and pristine swimming pool. We were in Portugal for three weeks, and this was by far my favorite spot. I would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Paul!

Slice of Heaven in Alentejo

We had a magical five nights in this beautiful and well cared for, historic farmhouse! Paul and his wife were ever accommodating, ready to recommend places to go, ensure we had everything we needed, and answer any questions promptly and thoughtfully. The pool is a gem, overlooking the cork tree forest where sheep roam. The house was larger than we expected based on the photos, a lovely find, and was well equipped. The grounds are idyllic and the sunsets are stunning. We were traveling with our two small children (2.5 and 4) and they loved everything about our farm stay, especially the pool and the small fish pond where they spotted frogs hopping about. Special thanks go out to Paul for literally saving the day when our mischievous 2.5 year old managed to lock himself in a lookout tower! Paul was there in a flash and all was well - yet another story we will take with us from our wonderful week in beautiful Alentejo. We will return and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to encourage anyone to make this their home base. We can't wait to come back!

Fabulous Farmhouse in Redondo

From the moment we were met by Paul and his border collie and the ginger cat we were in love with this place. Fascinating old house, well appointed with valley views and sheep in the field with their Shepard. Close by two great local restaurants and much to discover. A fabulous pool but too chilly this week sadly… next time!

Peaceful stay in the Portuguese countryside

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paul's farmhouse near Redondo. The house had everything we needed, was far enough into the countryside to provide a true glimpse of rural Portuguese life and yet close enough for day trips to several interesting nearby towns/sites. Communication with Paul was excellent. He provided several suggestions for places to visit all over the country and for restaurants in nearby towns to try that made our stay here one of the highlights of our trip. Paul offers a cork "walk" touring the surrounding countryside on foot to neighboring farms, and the nearest town that we found fascinating - so glad we did it. Only quibbles we have are relatively minor. Finding the house was a challenge. Turns out, the VRBO instructions had not been updated which resulted in some confusion finding the house but Paul was available by text/phone to help us through those issues. The beds are much more firm than we are used to but we slept just fine anyway. We also could never quite figure out how to keep the hot water flowing long enough for 2 back to back showers but we also managed none the less.

Peaceful and beautiful

I wish I could have spent more time in Redondo. The property is easy to get to. Paul was great with communicating so we could get there easily. Views are beautiful from the pool; you can see all the way out to the horizon. There are a lot of sheep on the adjacent farm. Night sky is gorgeous. Very spacious house. Within a short drive are some surrounding towns if you feel like spending the day out. there is a grocery store within 5min drive. If you like gin try the Black Pig gin which is made in the Alentejo valley and not easy to find anywhere else in Portugal. Use some lemon from the lemon trees on the property and you have yourself an amazing cocktail.

Great stay on cork farm with tour and dinner

We travelled to the farm as part of our driving tour through Portugal. We stayed for 3 nights on the farm and did day tours to the neighbouring towns. We really enjoyed our tour of the cork forest and the wine tasting with Antonio. He was very informative and we learned some very interesting facts about cork farming. We also enjoyed tasting wine after our tour of the cork forest and vineyards. We had a great dinner of local cuisine one night prepared by our host. Our stay was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal and we highly recommend staying at the cork farm. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Thanks again for a great experience!

Unique and fantastic experience in Portugal

Our stay at this working farm and vinyard outside Redondo was magical. We were greeted by Andrew and Margarida, brother and wife of the farmer Philliip Mollet as we drove into the courtyard. We stayed in the main area of this 250 year old farmhouse with living room, dining room, kitchen, and 2 bedrooms each with on-suite bath. The facility was well furnished inside and the outside area was magnificent. There is a large cobblestoned patio with two tables under shade structures (the sun could get very intense here). A short flight of stairs led down to the path to an infinity pool with an endless view to the Alentejo below. There was a room under the pool with WC facilities and a refrigerator with rose and white wines available on the honor system. We chose to have dinner on the farm our first night, and the fish casserole and other items were very good obviously accompanied by some of their wonderful wines. The farm proved to be an excellent home base for exploring the towns of Redondo and Evora as well as the eastern Alentejo towns of Monsaraz and Morvao which were stunning. We took a cork trekking tour of this working cork tree farm with Antonio the next day and learned about the interesting work of cork farming before we reluctantly left. We drank many of their wonderful wines at very fair prices. We could go on and on about this place but I would urge you to find out for yourself how truly special this house and farm is. We only wish we had booked for many more nights and we are sure we will return, hopefully for a much longer stay next time.

Portugal’s Hidden Gem

Our time on the farm and in the main farm house was one of the highlights of our travels in Portugal. Beautifully appointed with vintage pieces yet all the comfort of today. Our 4x4 tour of the farm and wine tasting were also great. However, what makes this experience so wonderful are Philippe, his wife and all the people who are there to ensure you have a wonderful vacation and you leave with a greater appreciation of this region of Portugal...

Outstanding cork and grape farm

We regret not having more days at this beautiful serene location. Lovely pool area with a bar and washroom! Short distance from Evora. The hosts are lovely and the surroundings were gorgeous. We were lucky to be there for cork harvesting! The workers were very engaging and we enjoyed watching the removal of large pieces of cork. Lots of olive, lemon and apple trees. Many dogs, cats, sheep. We heard how the farm brings in black pigs and allows them to roam eating large quantities of acorns to help them gain upwards up 100kg. We enjoyed the wine produced with the grapes from the farm. The accommodations were beyond expectations including lots of dishes, cutlery etc for preparing meals. When we return to Portugal we will stay here again!

Even better than it looks!

we had a marvelous time at the Herdade da Maroteira in Redondo. Everything about it is as described or pictured, but even better. The house was lovely and very comfortable, and the pool was most inviting. At night, the stars were so plentiful and bright! I don't know when I have seen such a full and beautiful night sky. We enjoyed trying the various wines made by the family. They were all excellent, but the Cem Reis Syrah was fabulous. We also ordered a meal one night which was delicious and sufficient for several meals-lamb from the Herdade with potatoes, salad, gaspacho and a lovely biscuit cake. Best of all were the people. Antonio greeted us when we arrived and could not have been more helpful. He directed us to the local grocery store, and just by chance, when we arrived for our first visit, he was there and assisted us with some local cheeses. He also took us on our tour of the cork forest and was extremely informative. Philip and Marguerita were very attentive and helpful in making suggestions for day trips and restaurants. Jezerel (?) in the office was very kind as well and even went to the trouble of writing out for us exactly what kind of Maria cookies to buy to make our own biscuit cake and printed a recipe off the internet for us. I cannot go without mentioning the wonderful dogs. They are an integral part of the operation and are ready to greet you in the mornings or upon returning and are mostly happy to go on walks with you. The house was a great base for visiting the other towns in the area as well as the Neolithic and Paleolithic ruins. I was there for 16 days and moving on to one of Portugal's lovely pousadas but was so sad to leave Maroteira.

Beautiful house, wonderful location

We only had two nights, I wish it would have been much longer. We stayed in late September. The weather was still warm mid day, cool in the mornings. Perfect for a dip in the infinity edge pool in the heat of the day. We went to a delicious very local restaurant, there are a number of options close by. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate in our first night not knowing there were places to go close by to eat. Redondo has a large and a small grocery store, both about ten minutes drive. The farm house is delightful. Generations of wonderful books in English. A fireplace, AC and beautiful furniture. You are definitely staying in a family house. The bed we slept in was very hard, this may be a good thing or not depending on your preference. This is the only thing I would change. Joseph took us on an informative, exciting and comprehensive tour of the property. Recommended. Thank you Philip for a wonderful stay.

This property is beautiful, the house was comfortable and the dogs were a highlight of the stay.

This stay was one of our favorite places in Portugal. We took a tour of the property, including the cork farm. It was just fascinating and the guide was very knowledgeable. We were accompanied on the tour by the 6 resident dogs which just made my day. The pool was delightful and the night sky stunning. I would have given 5 stars, but we arrived after a long day of driving to find only a caretaker. The owner was travelling so we felt a little lost. The property is located a fair distance from any towns or restaurants and we did not have access to coffee in the mornings. There is a kitchen there. It is just important to know to bring everything that you might need. Given that, I highly recommend this property.

Outstanding Experience

Herdade da Maroteira was a “destination” in and of itself. It’s a more than 1500 square foot farmhouse with authentic rustic charm. Philip and Marguerita were exceptional hosts. We swam and watched spectacular sunsets from the infinity pool, walked or hiked some of the many trails, took a bumpy Jeep tour through a 500 hectare cork farm, and actually watched the workers stripping cork from the trees. The house itself was spacious and well furnished, and the bed was comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. There were purple flowers and lemon trees outside our windows and a large private terrace with panoramic views. The World Heritage City of Evora was an easy 35 km away. We would definitely go back and definitely recommend it to family and friends. The pictures on the website - beautiful as they are - don’t do it justice. We also loved starting our trip in the Alentejo region in Portugal’s interior - less traveled but no less impressive than the big cities of Lisbon and Porto.
