Hotel Refúgio das Origens (Ermidas do Sado, Portugal)

About Refúgio das Origens

Refúgio das Origens is located in Monte Novo do Vale Lousal, Ermidas do Sado, on the Municipality of Santiago do Cacém, in the Alentejo region, Portugal. This is a family place, Rosa’s family heritage. She spent her childhood in this place, learnt to live with nature and closely watched the traditional farming activities. It was here that Rosa has developed a bond with the land and her home. Refúgio das Origens belongs to a 49.42 acres estate. It was once land for bovine cattle grazing and sown with wheat, European yellow lupine, corn and peanuts. There are large trees in the surrounding area with over two hundred years old. These trees mark the landscape by their grandeur. This agritourism place is the outcome of Rosa’s big wish of going back to her origins. Its name came out naturally. It really is a refuge of origins. Of going back to the land and to what makes her feel loved. This is a lively place, where like Rosa, you can enjoy the cork harvesting, the collecting of mushrooms and asparagus, the olive harvest for oil and pickling. Here you can enjoy and taste these flavours. At Refúgio das Origens, you can feel nature from sunrise to sundown. Come along and meet this place!
