Herdade da Malhadinha Nova
History & Story
Malhadinha Nova is a typical Alentejo family estate situated in Albernoa, a small village ln the heart of ‘Baixo’ Alentejo. It is a place of freedom and endless horizons. Since 1998, the family’s passion and commitment have transformed a long-abandoned land into fields that give life to genuine, high-quality Alentejo produce. Time is a precious commodity, one of the few treasures in life. Herdade da Malhadinha Nova Country House & Spa is more than just a hotel. It is a space that offers experiences, serenity and a journey into the traditions of the Alentejo, with all the comfort and contemporaneity that will make your stay unforgettable. We consider Malhadinha Nova as a family retreat and a traditional location but at the same time extravagant and unique.

Location
The Alentejo is a land of vast fields where winds from the plains, the woods and the sea, welcome us with unforgettable Landscapes, promising different experiences in each of its fascinating nooks. The Alentejo, derived from Além-Tejo or Beyond the Tagus, covers almost a third of Portugal, from the south bank of the Tagus down to the Algarve, and from the Atlantic coast to the Spanish border in the east. But it’s home to just 7% of the country’s population, economic flight having been a fact of life here for generations.
