This is an historical building converted into an hotel from where you can admire a superb view over Estremoz and the vast Alentejo plain. Orientation and bike set up upon arrival to the hotel.

After a delicious breakfast you will cycle through villages and historical landscapes. Stages of battles, conquers, old communities and great people. Towards Vila Viçosa, the capital of marble in Portugal, you can visit the Ducal Palace, built in the 16th and 17th centuries on the remains of Roman and Moorish buildings. You will have plenty of free time today, we suggest you to walk around and enjoy the charm of the streets at the center.
