Covering one third of Portugal, the great Alentejo is vast in its diversity. Luxury Alentejo holidays allow you to witness the rugged western coastline, defined by deserted surf beaches and charming white-washed hamlets. To the east, the border with Spain offers medieval walled towns and impregnable forts. The north is characterised by golden plains and chartreuse vines, while the south is where Mediterranean sun is at its best. Largely rural, central Alentejo is filled with cork oaks, sleepy villages and empty roads. On your luxury Alentejo, Portugal holidays, enjoy a slower pace of life, away from hordes of tourists in this idyllic heartland.
