Charming Monsaraz and Évora
per person
The Beauty of Alentejo
Nothing beats getting to know a region and a country through visiting a village and a city. Visiting Monsaraz and Évora allows visitors to get to know the history, gastronomy, charm and culture of Alentejo.
Monsaraz is one of the most beautiful Portuguese villages. The mountain, with its castle and shale walls that embrace immaculate whitewashed houses, is surrounded by the large lake of Alqueva (the largest artificial lake in Europe).
Going through the streets of Monsaraz is like traveling back in time, everything here has another rhythm and another flavour. From the castle and its walls, in all directions you can enjoy a breathtaking view to the infinite, which gives us an enormous sense of peace and relaxation.
The city of Évora is a reference for all who want to know Alentejo and Portugal. Classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1986, Évora is the capital of the Alentejo, has a rich and varied historical heritage, built and preserved over time, Évora is an open-air museum.
