Vila Gale Collection Alter Real

In the heart of Alentejo, in Alter do Chão, set on the historic Tapada do Arneiro estate and linked to the world’s oldest continuous stud farm. This 4-star equestrian resort and conference & spa sits amid rolling countryside — perfect for nature and horse-lovers.

Boutique, equestrian-themed design that nods to local history — think restored olive oil mill, wood-fired oven and an outdoor fireplace for cooler nights. Rooms come with 24-hour air conditioning, private bathroom, hair dryer, in-room safe, TV and Wi‑Fi. Check-in 15:00, check-out 12:00; garage available for an extra charge.

Two outdoor pools for adults plus a children’s pool, a Satsanga spa with heated indoor pool and Turkish bath, garden, 24-hour reception and laundry service. Wake up to wide-open Alentejo air, take a countryside picnic, or toast sunset by the outdoor fireplace.

Two meeting rooms, an event hall and a library for quieter breaks. Property-wide Wi‑Fi keeps things connected for meetings and remote work.

Inevitável restaurant serves regional Alentejo cuisine and local flavors, while the Dressage bar is the spot for a relaxed drink. The hotel also hosts wine and olive-oil tastings from its restored oil mill and on-site wine shop.
