Herdade da Malhadinha Nova

Alentejo

Set amid the vast open plains of Baixo Alentejo, Herdade da Malhadinha Nova is a tranquil wine estate where slow living and centuries‑old rural traditions blend seamlessly. 

Spread across rolling vineyards, olive groves and wide horizons, the estate’s whitewashed houses, natural textures and handcrafted details reflect a harmony with the land. At its heart, this is a place shaped by winemaking and family heritage. Days drift easily between vineyard walks, tastings in state‑of‑the‑art cellars, poolside moments and long, flavour‑driven meals that celebrate local produce from the estate’s organic farm.

Location

Located in Albernoa, near Beja, the estate occupies over 700 hectares of rural countryside, surrounded by vineyards and wild fields that capture the golden light of southern Portugal. It sits within the heart of Baixo Alentejo, offering easy access to quiet country roads, traditional villages and the rich agricultural landscapes that define the region. This secluded setting creates a natural retreat – peaceful, expansive and authentically Alentejo.

Your Room

Accommodation is spread across elegant rooms, suites and private villas located throughout the estate, each designed with understated luxury and a strong sense of place. Expect terracotta floors, high wooden ceilings, bespoke furnishings and soft, earthy palettes with expansive views across the surrounding farmland. Some rooms include private terraces, plunge pools or fireplaces, while larger villas offer full kitchens, wide verandas and panoramic views of the vineyards.
