Quinta do Paral

To celebrate my husbands 40th bday, we wanted something special and boy did we get something special! It starts by being picked up with a golfcart at the parking space, you get a little tour towards the establishment which shows all that is there. Once there, rather than going to reception for check in, you`re brought to the bar where check in is smooth & quick and you even get their own rosé.||Now, we had the junior suite, super large - beautifully decorated and everything is well maintained & super clean. Although the suite itself does not have its own terrace, you do have a gorgeous courtyard where you can hang out, looking towards the pool. When arriving to the room you get a super nice bottle of wine and little dessert.|Since it was my husbands bday, we even got a super delicious cake and their own espumante. ||Breakfast, lunch and dinner - I can´t even explain how amazing everything was but I will try.|Breakfast - coffee/tea/water/juice/plentiful breads/croissants/pastries/cheeses/meats and the best fruit selection. You get that standard. Then you can also order something a la carte in addition which was amazing as well. You won´t need lunch basically :D|Lunch - we ordered a pear salad and rosbeef sandwhich at the pool, both fantastic, along with cocktails.|Dinner - They always start with the couverts that are lovely but then they bring you an appetiser spontaneously and it is always delicious and very beautiful <3 Main dishes & desserts were excellent (Pregado & Polvo first day/Duck Magret & something else that I forgot, sorry :D) and the wine pairing was fantastic.||If you get the chance, also do the wine tour - the winery is very cool & we´ve never seen so much of the wine making process. After the tour is finished, you´ll be brought back to the restaurant where you will to the wine tasting which was also an awesome & fun experience.||All staff were the loveliest people around, very helpful and always up for a chat. We can´t thank them enough for this beautiful experience and we will defo go back whenever we can, I must have said ´This is fantastic´about a million times :D |<3 Obrigada para tudo! ||Tips:|- They have a great gym that you can use but if you are a runner you can go around the winery, very nice to do so.|- Rooftop bar, although there wasn´t anybody service there, just get some wine or cocktail to sit up there for sunset & chill.|- Buy some wine & olive oil before you leave, so worth it! Since you can only buy it either on location, on their website or very select establishments, I recommend taking those that you loved with you!

A perfect getaway for quiet, relaxation, nature, recharging your batteries and of course, good wine. Quinta do Paral is unpretentious luxury with an outstanding team ready to make your stay memorable. The original building dating back to the 17th century is now the beautiful boutique hotel, newly opened in September 2024. The quinta grounds are peaceful and impeccably maintained with vineyard views as far as the eye can see. Our room was gorgeous (junior suite) with modern and high end comforts. We stayed two nights but wish we could have stayed longer. A big thank you to the entire team for their care and kindness.

We absolutely loved our stay in Quinta do Paral. The place is stunning and perfect for a restful and quiet break. The staff is so kind and always available. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean. The food is also amazing (breakfast, lunch and dinner). We didn't really want to leave and we are for sure coming back soon. This place is a real treasure and an amazing addition to the region. Thank you Quinta do Paral team!

Review of Quinta do Paral – A Hidden Gem in Alentejo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) If you're looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by natural beauty, Quinta do Paral in Vidigueira, Alentejo is nothing short of spectacular. This hotel is set in one of the most picturesque locations I’ve ever visited—rolling vineyards, golden plains, and a serene atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The rooms are exquisite—modern, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with the latest technology. Every detail feels carefully curated, offering both luxury and comfort. The grounds are pristine and beautifully maintained, perfect for leisurely walks or simply relaxing and enjoying the landscape. It’s a place where time seems to slow down. The on-site restaurant is absolutely amazing—the food is fresh, flavorful, and deeply rooted in local tradition with a refined twist. Every meal felt like a highlight. And speaking of highlights, the wine produced at Quinta do Paral is among the best I’ve ever tasted—elegant, well-balanced, and a perfect reflection of the region. What truly elevates the experience is the staff—warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Their attention to detail and hospitality are second to none, making you feel not just like a guest, but like family. Highly recommended for anyone seeking luxury, authenticity, and tranquility in one of Portugal’s most beautiful wine regions. I can’t wait to return.

Amazing to see this young wine farm at work. Great wines, great tasting session with a shared platter to cleanse the palate included. Mariana was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Such a beautiful hotel set in a tranquil area, it was a pleasure to spend two nights here. The rooms are well designed and impeccably clean; luxurious towels, robes and slippers. The staff are first class, very hospitable and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. A big thank you to Filipe and his entire team. Everyone was lovely, but a massive thank you to Rafaela, who was so kind. We hope to return again soon.

We had an outstanding tasting at Quinta do Paral! This modern, professional winery isn’t unlike any other in the area. High quality wines, good explanations and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend a visit 🧡

Perfect detour between Lisbon and Algarve. We stopped for lunch. Vasco, the cheff and all the staff took wonderful care of us. Everything on our table was from the estate or the region. Appreciated learning about the region and cuisine from local staff. Food, service, and grounds were exceptional. Wish we had planned to take advantage of their e-bikes or spend the night. Highly recommend.
