Quinta da Alcaidaria-Mor

Going through the cedar grove that leads to Quinta da Alcaidaria-Mór is just the first step to enter an universe full of history and tradition: the home of the Alvaiázere family. In this 17th century manor house, some pages of history have been written, from the Napoleonic Invasions to the Order of Malta. Even D. Nuno Álvares Pereira, in 1385, prayed in the small chapel that is now part of the Quinta, asking for Saint Luzia’s divine protection on his way to Aljubarrota battle where he would obtain a glorious victory. It’s a bucolic scenery of peace and quiet that in the recent years became the stage for Alexandra Lencastre and Rogério Samora, during the shooting of the Portuguese film “O Delfim”, by director Fernando Lopes.

Located just over one hour drive from Lisbon and a few minutes from Fátima Sanctuary, one of the most centres of pilgrimage in the world.

Accommodation consists of 6 rooms and 3 apartments, all equipped with central heating, private bathroom, TV and Internet access. The apartments also have a kitchenette. Facilities include a games room, outdoor pool, meeting facilities and Wi-Fi Internet access throughout.

Meals are available for guests of the Quinta, upon request and at an extra fee. In 1984, it became a recognized place for receiving guests from all over the world, for the quality it has always offered its guests. Today it maintains a traditional atmosphere and an atmosphere of living. From the stone walls at the entrance, to the majestic staircase that leads to the living room, through the Arraiolos tapestries of and the portraits on the walls, everything converges to an environment of great involvement.
