Description

Our opinion

Inaugurated in 2011, L’And-Vineyards is an exceptional private estate, just a stone’s throw from the small town of Montemor-o-Novo and Évora’s famous temple dedicated to Diane. This ambitious architectural project, the work of internationally renowned designers, includes a 5-star spa hotel and a small number of private residences. With its bold, resolutely modern design, this villa stands on a 6,242 m² plot of land in the midst of a vineyard, providing a unique panoramic view over the citadel and the pastoral landscape of the Alentejo region. The living rooms and areas are harmoniously laid out around a comfortable shady patio such that it is easy to move around. The light and shadow of this modern, sober and elegant building change throughout the day courtesy of an ingenious set of wooden shutters lining its picture windows. The four bedrooms, with their bathrooms, have direct access out to the garden and the swimming pool, which completes this tribute to idleness and the pleasant Mediterranean way of life. It would be impossible not to mention the hotel’s restaurant, given one star by the Michelin Guide, where the best of the estate’s wines, produced by the co-owners themselves, can be enjoyed.
