Fantastic Farm Holidays in Central Portugal

Location of Quinta Vale de Marmelos

The drive is 2 hours east of Lisbon on empty motorways (more detailed directions can be provided if required).  Faro is 3.25 hours of equally relaxed travel.  Seville airport is also 2 hours now that the new motorway is complete.  Driving around the Alentejo's roads is a very low stress activity.  We have one set of traffic lights in Elvas, entering through one of the gateways in the town's defences.

Local directions from Elvas - when coming from Lisbon on the motorway you take the first exit signposted to Elvas.  You continue straight over 3 roundabouts, passing the aqueduct on your left.  At the fourth roundabout  with a fireman statue hosing a fire turn right signed to Olivenca/Ponte da Ajuda.  Wriggle 3 km into the countryside past a huge white building, Santa Casa de Misericordia on your right, you will then see our flags on your left.  Satellite co-ordinates N 38º 51.163'   W 007º 09.704'
