Quinta da Castelhana is a place to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy simple living in the Portuguese countryside. Surrounded by nature, fruit trees and wide open views, our B&B offers a peaceful escape for guests who value privacy, comfort and a more natural way of staying.
We welcome guests who appreciate the charm of outdoor living and the quiet rhythm of farm life. Our open-air bathroom and outdoor kitchen are part of that experience, giving you the chance to shower under the sky, cook outdoors and feel closely connected to the landscape around you. It is a unique stay, designed for those who enjoy simplicity with character.
At the same time, we want you to feel at home and well looked after. Whether you are here for a short break, a slower holiday or time to explore the region, we aim to offer a warm and personal atmosphere where you can truly unwind.
One of the most special parts of staying at Quinta da Castelhana is our open‑air bathroom and outdoor kitchen. Just a few steps from your room, you will find a private space where you can shower, relax and cook while being surrounded by nature.
The outdoor bathroom includes a spacious shower, toilet, sink and a bathtub with wide views over the valley and the surrounding hills. It is a simple, comfortable space designed for unhurried moments – from a refreshing morning shower to a long, warm bath under the evening sky.
Next to the bathroom there is a small but well‑equipped outdoor kitchen that guests can use freely. Here you can prepare your own meals, make a light lunch or cook dinner with local ingredients and products from our farm. Many guests enjoy spending the evening here, cooking outside and eating under the stars, feeling at home in the quiet of the countryside.
We like to keep things simple, transparent and personal. Our B&B is available from €75 per night for 1 or 2 guests, making it a comfortable and peaceful place to stay whether you are visiting as a couple or travelling on your own.
For those who would like to start the day with something extra special, we also offer a fresh breakfast for €12.50 per person. Breakfast is prepared with care and served in a relaxed setting, so you can enjoy a slow morning before heading out to explore the region or simply spend the day unwinding at the quinta.
Our aim is to offer good value in a unique countryside setting, with plenty of space, privacy and a warm, personal atmosphere.
