Quinta Do Campo, Valado Dos Frades

Secular property classified in 2005 as ’Property of National Public Interest’. With Cistercian characteristics, is the only Portuguese farmhouse from the medieval period; it is the best preserved in the Iberian Peninsula. Inserted in a bucolic landscape, in the meadow between Alcobaça and Nazaré, has the Pinhal de Leiria as a natural barrier the and the sea in the horizon.

The buildings of this farm are divided in 4: the main house, the wine cellar, the barn and finally the flats inserted in the old stable, in a total area of almost 6.4 hectares.

The main house, in its rectangular configuration and with an entrance in the middle of the building, is composed of a ground floor with eight en suite bedrooms, a library, a living room and a dining room. These three halls display rich architecture, with high ceilings and works in wood and stucco, with 19th century furniture, making the atmosphere cosy and familiar. On the second floor, there are eight more suites, an office room, a dining room, a living room and a large kitchen fully equipped.

In front of the main house, there is a square lawn surrounded by the annex buildings: the winery and the barn are currently prepared to host the most diverse events, with kitchen, sanitary facilities and large rooms. These buildings are originally from the 12th century, with several alterations over the years, namely with the insertion of 18th century iron columns from the Alcobaça Monastery.

The last building area is the one with the independent flats, equipped with kitchenette and with balconies overlooking the green landscape of the meadow, next to the river Alcobaça. There are in total six one-bedroom flats and one two-bedroom flat.
Until the 20th century, the property privileged its exterior space for agricultural purposes, and nowadays it has taken advantage of this space and gardens for events and rural tourism, having a local accommodation license.

Its location is interesting from the tourism point of view, with historic places like Alcobaça, Tomar and Batalha in the vicinity, and also the beaches of Peniche, Nazaré, São Pedro de Moel and São Martinho do Porto.

The farm is less than an hour and a half away from Lisbon, with access via the A8 motorway; the trip to Porto takes 2 hours.
