Once an olive oil-producing estate, Dá Licença offers five opulent suites, each thoughtfully designed - from Japanese-inspired spaces to those evoking a yacht; every suite exudes a blend of elegance and creativity.
Bask in the hotel's art gallery, unwind beside the serene round pool, and soak in the views of Alentejo's rolling hills and medieval castles. Dá Licença offers a unique retreat where art and nature intertwine, a sanctuary of marble, cork, and local craftsmanship.
Dá Licença was lovingly brought to life by Vitor Borges and Franck Laigneau, who left their successful careers in Paris to create this retreat.

We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at Vermelho. Highlights included the array of Portuguese and French pastries that were brought to your table and the perfectly cooked a-la-carte eggs. Breakfast was delicious but also beautifully arranged, featuring tableware from Vida Dura.
Elisabeth Lincot's installation, Lagrima de Loros, graces an exterior hearth at Vermelho with glazed and colourful ceramic bird heads.
