The rooms
Contemporary guest rooms overlook the estate's wooded gardens, outfitted in subdued tones with private balconies and quiet sitting areas.

Bring a swimsuit.
The 20-meter heated saltwater pool runs under concrete ceilings, lined with swan-neck water spouts and cascading hydrotherapy curtains.
The spa and gym
Spa rooms host bodywork beside living plant walls, and the fitness center stays open around the clock.
Raízes Restaurant
The dining room looks onto the grounds, serving regional Portuguese dishes and morning spreads under circular pendant lights.
At the table
The 1850 Bar pours regional Port wines and cocktails beside velvet seating and a glass-enclosed tasting lounge.
How it began
Wine merchant Manuel da Rocha Romariz founded the estate in 1850, and local partners bought it in 1999 to save the grounds.
