RURAL HOTEL QUINTA MADRE DE ÁGUA
Nature in it's
pure state
The Farm
Our Facilities
After stabilizing the concept, a boutique hotel with 10 rooms and a restaurant was built, where guests are welcomed in a family atmosphere. The project includes a stud farm that celebrates and preserves the purebred Lusitano horse. Two riding arenas, built using local materials – perfectly integrated into the landscape where the art of dressage, riding lessons and horse rides take place. In 2021, we completed the restoration and extension of our winery at Quinta da Regada, where the Madre de Água wines are produced. The estate also features vineyards, olive groves and orchards, predominantly planted with Rocha pears, Golden Delicious apples and Bravo Esmolfe apples, as well as many rose bushes in a wide variety of colours. In the meantime, we have acquired two neighbouring estates – Santo António and Regada – bringing the total area to 30 hectares.
Our Mission
It is obvious that one cannot forget to mention that one of the main reasons for all of this passion is the love that Lurdes has for animals. At a very young age she began to defend animal causes, with particular focus on stray dogs. Thus, in this project spaces and conditions were created to receive animals that are now a part of the daily routine of the property. It is for all of these reasons that visiting Farm Madre de Água – Hotel Serra da Estrela (License RNET nº 1408) is not only visiting a simple farm. There is much to see, feel and discover. Because it was all done with great passion, respect for nature and for animals. And because its mission and social responsibility is also to make known this way of life.
