From the Agent: "On the outskirts of Arraiolos, in the historic, hilltop Alentejo town, we discovered this beautiful quinta and set about creating a boutique tourism project with guest suites, a restaurant gallery, event space, and workshop. The quinta was originally built in the 1920s by a collective of entrepreneurial farmers who decided to build a pasta factory to earn greater profit from the wheat they produced. The location, on the main road out of Arraiolos, is an hour’s drive from Lisbon, making the property a great base to explore the Alentejo region."

The charming hilltop village is a time capsule just a short drive away from the vibrant city of Lisbon and the Comporta coastline. The UNESCO heritage city of Évora can also be reached in less than 20 minutes.
