The Casa do Terreiro do Poço
The house has 30 rooms composed of three main buildings, linked by stairs and verandas. THis house is referenced in "Portugal's Artistic Inventory" because of its mural paintings and frescos.
This is where you can relax in the Borba region. Several years ago , Rita and João Cavaleiro Ferreira decided to buy the property and to restaure it in such a way to be a reference in Rural Tourism in Portugal. This space takes you back in a not so distant past with an Oreintal decoration, a passion for the owners. From the "Real" suite to the tower room (Quarto da torre), all the bedrooms merit a visit not only for the furniture but also its art and furnishings.
If breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, at the "Terreiro do Poço", we don't play with this theory. The fresh juices, yogurts, home made jams, and the indispensable Alentejano bread. We thoroughly enjoy these traditional savors served with relaxing music, ideal to start out the day.
You can have breakfast in the "pavillion" next to the pool from 9am to 11am. But the laziest of us or the romantics can savor it in their rooms.
Later in the day why not get to know the area by cycling the Terreiro do Poço. There are also cooking workshops and the possibility of tasting the internationally renown wines of the region.
To get to the house:
Leaving Lisboa by crossing one
of its bridges, take the A6 towards Évora/Espanha. After passing
the service area of Estremoz,
pay attention and exit to Borba/Alandroal/Vila Viçosa.
After the toll gate, follow the sign N4, turning left. After the service station enter the first access to Borba. Follow straight ahead and 500m after entering the village you will see, on your left, a small public park.
You're at Largo dos Combatentes da Grande Guerra, where you will find the Casa do Terreiro do Poço.
