Albergaria El-Rei D. Manuel
Santo António das Areias, Portugal

The village of Marvão is a National Monument and has been a candidate for a World Monument, like Évora (125km) and Cáceres in Spain (120km) already are. The S. Mamede Natural Park is a protected area where chestnut, holm, cork and pine trees have their important and spectacular presence. The varieties of exotic trees together with the gurgling of the rivers, give us a profound sense of peace. And to this natural landscape, we add the magnificent historical and archaeological past. Besides the village of Marvão, we suggest a visit to the Roman City of Ammaia, and the shacks of Cabeçudos. You can also walk on a Roman road, which ends at the Severs river swimming pool in Portagem, and visit a museum dedicated to the Jews who passed through when expelled from Spain in the 15th century. If you like sports with a calm atmosphere and beautiful landscape, and all within approximately 5kms, you can play golf on the "Ammaia Golf Course"; or, sail or canoe on the "Apartaduras" dam.

The Alentejo is famous for the variety of its excellent gastronomy. We suggest you the richness and the taste of all regional dishes at our restaurant. Our menu has delicious choices and a variety of Alentejo wines to accompany your meal.
