Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and gym
Treatment cabins are lined in warm slatted wood, and the gym is fitted with Technogym equipment in natural daylight.

Restaurante L’Amoure reinterprets traditional Minho dishes in a dining room lined with patterned wallpaper and chevron wood floors.
How it began
The estate occupies seventeenth-century farmland once known for olive oil production. Its name blends the village of Moure with amor.
