Villa Extramuros Boutique countryside retreat in the heart of Alentejo
Villa Extramuros is an exclusive boutique guesthouse located in Arraiolos, a historic village in the Alentejo region, just 1 hour and 15 minutes from Lisbon and 20 km from Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city. Nestled among 5 hectares of olive groves, this countryside retreat offers a perfect blend of contemporary architecture, design, and the authentic slow-paced Alentejo lifestyle.
Ideal for romantic getaways, cultural escapes, or simply unwind away from the crowds, Villa Extramuros provides a unique experience in a tranquil setting, where modern comfort meets local heritage.
Designed with inspiration from Roman structures, convent architecture, and typical southern Portuguese villages, the villa showcases regional materials like whitewashed walls, Estremoz marble, and cork, honoring Alentejos traditional building identity.
