Casa do Gadanha
Casa do Gadanha is a twelve-bedroom guesthouse and restaurant set in a remarkable manor house in Estremoz, in the heart of Alentejo.
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.
Casa do Gadanha was born from Michele Marques' dream to create a guesthouse imbued with the same love and dedication with which she runs her renowned restaurant in Estremoz, Mercearia Gadanha.
Casa do Gadanha is set in a renovated old mansion located on one of the most central streets of Estremoz. During the renovation, there was a preoccupation with preserving as many original aspects of the building as possible. These elements include Art Deco doors and colourful tiles, marble basins, iron grilles, ceramic pine cones, and even a section of wooden flooring in a star pattern.
Each of the 12 serene rooms at Casa do Gadanha is adorned with minimalist decor and inspiring Alentejan phrases, while the locally made complimentary amenities are a lovely touch.
On the rooftop, there’s a plunge pool and sun deck where you can enjoy panoramic views of Estremoz, known as the 'White City of Alentejo', and the surrounding Alentejo countryside.
The on-site restaurant, open to guests and non-guests, serves dishes emphasising local, organic ingredients and is known for its unique pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven.
