HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Placed on the slope of a hill, Bento Novos farm marvels us with the beauty of its lands, going down through the little gardens that found at every corner, all the way to the clean waters of the stream that runs to the bottom of the farm's limits.
The ancient rural ambience can still be observed on the thick granite walls of the house, as well as on the sheds, granaries and thrashing floors that were once used to dry and store corn and maize, are very typical of the region. Along the leisure spaces there are gardens, with hundreds of species of trees, shrubs and flowers, decorative vines, conifers and orchards, with green lawn spaces everywhere and countless flower beds.
For the absolute privacy it offers, at such a short distance of one of the biggest cities of the country, Bento Novos farm is a real paradise for family vacations and week-end escapes.
For a never-ending discovery of our cultural heritage, for the delights our sea has to offer or for a unique encounter with nature, our guests will find more than enough reasons to return!

The house keeps its ancient look, with walls of stone and the rural surroundings, even though it has been recently adapted to all modern comforts. Originally built in 1892, the House has been in our family through several generations. Recently we have re-built it in order to better welcome our guests.
On the northern wing there is a staircase built in solid granite. It is a good example of the contrast of schist and granite that can be seen all over the farm.
The suite is an independent building wit a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. Even though it is very close the house it allows complete privacy and independency.
The dinning room, in the past was only reserved to the most important events. It is very well lit since two of the walls are covered in windows. It is an excellent place to have dinner, meet other guests or have a chat. We can prepare meals under previous reservations and according to availability (groups only).
The hall: on the right we can see the original schist wall, on the left there is the staircase to the lower floor and the entrance to two of the rooms of the first floor.
The Camellia room, named due to the enormous amount of different camellia shrubs located right across the path. It is a very spacious room, with two comfortable single sofas.
On the lower floor you can sit on the sofas and enjoy the various wines kept in our cellar, our small library or just watch a movie. We call this room the "Beam Room" because it has 4 massive wooden beams in the ceiling that give a very rustic and welcoming feeling look to the room.
The Suites living room. The suite is an independent building, but very close to the house, that is composed of a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. Here you will be able to enjoy your own private space, with all the comfort and beauty of an architecture and decoration that combine rustic and modern.
The Suites bedroom: three of its walls are made of schist, is located between the living room (at left) and the bathroom (at right). The bathroom is very spacious with a big bathtub, and there is a separate dressing room.
