Palatial

This is an unusual project, as it reflects a family business’s investment in diversification, encompassing the world of swimming pools, haute cuisine, and premium accommodation (they also offer 7 suites). The spacious and eye-catching premises, at the southern exit of the town, surprise visitors with a sort of wine tasting bar where they celebrate the region’s finest wines. In its elegant dining room, run by a professional team, they offer an à la carte service and two tasting menus (Tradition and Innovation) that change with the seasons and draw from the finest national seasonal produce. Within its concept, which is based on Portuguese gastronomic tradition but revisited from a creative perspective, with certain licences taken to improve the recipes, we were captivated by the original combination of Sole and Portuguese stew as well as the Cheese, quince and hazelnut dessert, which play with temperatures and textures.
