The Property
Following a light refurbishment in 2025, the venue — an old agricultural hotel — offers spaces that blend the original Alentejo style with the pure, organic luxury of Neos. The improved ambiance and healing environment of natural materials adds quality while maintaining affordability due to the rustic nature.
The property consists of 6 connected buildings around a central plaza, with sweeping views over the valley to the South. There is a tranquil pool and sunlounge area, two event spaces, lush garden areas, a vast majestic lake, and animals — including 150 cows, 2 ostriches, 3 peacocks, 3 cats, 1 dog, 2 roosters and other birds. Wildlife includes the magical kingfisher, deer, and owls.
Throughout 2025 and 2026 additional features and facilities are constantly being built. In 2026 we expect to have a new infinity pool and spa facilities.

The Region
Alentejo
a place of pure poetry
In the timeless landscape of Alentejo, where birdsong, immaculate starry skies, oak and pine trees, vineyards, olive groves and orange orchards are woven together with ancient sundrenched white villages and castle ruins, it is easy to forget who you were. In the profound silence and presence of pure poetic being.
Inspiring artists and writers, Alentejo is a land of purity, light, wholeness, and minimalist beauty — values that precisely align with neos·life's ethos of a new way of being. We welcome you into a sanctuary of peace and rejuvenation within a rich history of past civilisations: Neolithic, Arab, Romans and Phoenician.
