Malhadinha Nova is a family-owned, 450 hectare country estate set in the heart of the Alentejo region. The estate produces traditional, regional products of the highest quality including award-winning wines, the famous Alentejo black pork and pureblood Alentejo beef.
Guest accommodation is offered in an Alentejo-style country farmhouse which affords stunning views over the estate. This is one of our most highly praised properties and from the elegant bedrooms - decorated with tiled floors and a mixture of designer and rustic furniture, it is easy to see why.
The Malhadinha Gourmet restaurant, with views over the estate, uses locally sourced produce to create modern interpretations of traditional Alentejo dishes. Guests can also enjoy a selection of wines produced on the estate.
In 2020, Malhadinha Nova added five new exclusive villas, some sold as independent villas and others as suites, to its portfolio, adding 20 rooms to the existing 10 in the original house. They also became a member of the Relais & Chateaux brand for excellence.
6 housing units with a unique personality
Perfectly integrated into the landscape, Herdade da Malhadinha Nova has six guest accommodations, five on the estate and another one five kilometres away in the village of Albernoa. They portray the various chapters in the history of this family-style project built around wine. All different yet all the same, with a unique character and purpose, the central planks connecting the different spaces together are privacy, exclusivity and luxury.
