The Casa das Hortensias, run by Bela Menezes and her husband Viriato, is a beautiful family hotel, with all the comfort of a three-star country retreat.
Situated in the valley of Arco de São Jorge, surrounded by lush green nature, the Casa das Hortensias in fact consists of three traditional country houses, lovingly restored, sitting in a garden full of fruit and flowers.
The “Casa das Hortensias” has been family property since the nineteenth century, when it was built; the family was specialized in winemaking. The vineyards surrounding the houses and the old vine presses in the yard still testify to the house’s history.
