Alentejo is considered to be Portugal's most authentic and picturesque region.
It is in this peaceful country setting that we founded Refúgio da Vila Rural Hotel and Cooking School. Located in Portel, a small town outside Évora, the hotel is set in a Vila manor house, complete with pool and patios.
Between cooking lessons in a kitchen that opens to a courtyard, and tours of the unspoiled countryside, our guests can relax in simple, but elegant rooms.
