​

Lagoon - Where you least expect, in a beautiful valley between two slopes, you will find a breathtaking lagoon. At the first rays of light it is worth waking up early to see the mysterious and poetic morning mist on the water... it looks like a movie set. At the end of the day the reflection of the sunset turns the place into a picture painted with a palette of colours renewed every day. Ideal for spending the day, picnics, stand up paddle, diving, swimming, reading a book, dating or simply letting yourself be. Around the lagoon, comfortable private decks make the place even more special... 

Infinity Pool– Feel relaxed by the sound of flowing water. Close your eyes and sense a breeze running over your body while your gaze gets lost in the endless horizon. Get carried away; this is the spirit of our infinity pool. Take a few laps in the morning or sip a cocktail in the late afternoon. Enjoy a dip and embrace the landscape. Diving is not allowed.

​

Dome Pool –  The fascination of a giant dome with almost 300 m2 and the charm of a 10 m diameter swimming pool, heated to 26 degrees. A space totally different from everything you've seen with a breathtaking view over a valley with the sea in the background. Whatever the time of year - the invitation is made... be it day or night, dive into the glamour of our Dome Pool.

Bio Pool - In Reserva you will dive with the little animals in our biotope. Frogs, dragonflies and many more ... We have one of the first biological pools in Portugal. These pools are a true ecosystems in full activity. The maintenance of the water is done in a totally natural way with a balance between plants and animals. In this way a super clean water is obtained without any kind of chemical treatment. You can dive at will and you will never feel your eyes burning. Around the pool, there is a lot of grass and private decks, so you can have all the necessary isolation.

​

Pizza Bar - Pizzas with no other pretension than to be very good. The dough comes from the neighbour, Marisa, baker of tradition, daughter of Dona Maria, who has always made the best Alentejo bread in the region, baked, always in a wood oven. The recipe for the dough is no secret, but it is unique and very good! It is simply the same as the bread dough! The tomatoes are picked at the time of the reservation, as is basil. Only the cheese comes from outside Reserva - but many times the touches are made with goat cheese from neighbour Jorge. For those who don't like pizza we have a simple but delicious jar food. Traditional recipes of pasteurized pot food according to an old local practice in a glass jar. To drink, natural juices, the tasty gin and tonic Black Pig, or the wine from Herdade do Cebolal. All from the region! Be sure to try an exclusive house novelty. The "Palhete" from Reserva. A wine that is neither white, red nor rosé. It is a red wine with a mixture of white that is drunk fresh, with a much lower alcohol content than traditional wines. Delicious! All this in a charming space with a beautiful terrace on top of the bio pool.

At the beach. Very fancy and trendy

Restaurant Lounge Bar Ilha do Arroz - We are privileged to live here at the "blue coast of Portugal" and to be surrounded by amazing restaurants, which are always hard to choose from or to visit all of them, but don’t miss the chance to go for a road trip with your family or friends to Praia da Comporta and have lunch or dinner at this great beach restaurant (Can you imagine they opened in 2002, before Comporta became the “must go” spot?). Their terrace is on the dunes and has the best view over the blue crystal clear waters and the Serra da Arrábida. So, if you want to get the best sight ever, don’t forget to book a table before your day trip. Prepare yourself for a relaxing and inviting atmosphere while listening to good music and of course, being at the beach, we recommend the Mussels sailors way (Mexilhões à Pescador), or if you can't wait to go for a swim, try a tomato soup with a poached egg, which will keep you going till sunset, when returning to their terrace to appreciate it while enjoying one Caiprinha (or two).

Like any restaurant at the beach, their specialty is grilled fresh fish and seafood, combined regional dishes with a new interpretation of the Portuguese cuisine. Spend the day between diving in the crystalline waters (they also rent sunbeds) and their terrace, drinking a cold white wine from Herdade da Comporta, which goes along perfectly with clams “à bulhão pato” (with garlic and fresh coriander) or a cuttlefish black rice.

One of our favorites
Restaurant O Granhão - A typical restaurant, with all the features of a regional eating place, this site is perfect to have some “tapas” after a sunny day spent at the surrounding beaches. Here the local dishes are prepared with everyday ingredients to enjoy the delicatessen of the region, while drinking a “Sangria” or a cold beer in a relaxed atmosphere. Don’t think you will find a luxurious spot, but instead, simplicity and unpretentious food, cooked with care and tradition. Ask for a table on the terrace and mingle with locals, while eating a Monk Fish Rice or Cuttlefish “à Algarvia”.

Even if they don't have them on the storefront, sit down, order a beer and within minutes you will be served. This spot is more a snack bar than a restaurant and is perfect to for a bite before or after the beach. Located on the main street of Carvalhal, it is hard to miss, the home cook is the owner and was born in Mozambique, has a friendly smile for all guests and is proud of the food that comes out of her kitchen.

Here you will find a piece of family history as well from the village of São Luís. Located between the Mountain range of Cercal and the beaches of Vila Nova de Milfontes, it is decorated with old tools used in the old times and an alembic, where the famous Alentejo “Medronho” is produced and tasted. Enjoy while listening to a different Fado sung and played by the owner's boyfriend and sometimes even by her mother (when the service in the kitchen allows).

​

Restaurant Tasca do Celso - is a reference in typical Alentejo gastronomy, although the place has nothing to do with a "tasca", the owner's name is not Celso and, even worse, he is not from Alentejo. The owner is from Lamego (up north) and was nicknamed "Celso" after his father, a well-known and respected character from Milfontes. In a "restaurant where people can see the kitchen", the dream of his life, Celso spoils his customers, preparing their food or indicating a good wine, one of the best qualities of the house. Celso has one of the most interesting wineries in the region, with wines from all over the country, particularly from Alentejo and Douro.
Our suggestion: We leave it to Celso! Let yourself be surprised.
