Quinta das Lavandas (lavender estate) is in Serra de São Mamede Nature Park, 4 Km from the centre of Castelo de Vide, one of the most beautiful small towns in Portugal. This rural tourism offers 200,000 m² where you can rest in 7 high standard comfort rooms, entertainment areas, a spacious living room and many outdoors activities - dams and riverside views, hills to discover, hiking, horse riding centres and birdwatching. You can also participate in agricultural activities, most of them related to the lavender fields from which the farm got its name. Here well-being comes from this incredible place where you can appreciate and feel the lavenders.

Lavender reigns supreme on this farm, where you find 6 ha (60,000 m²) planted with two lavender varieties, one of the largest in Portugal. The main purpose of the lavender plantation is the production of essential oils and traditional products. You can also enjoy a lavender garden with about 40 varieties of lavenders. Essential oils and floral waters are produced by the steam trapping method, in an alembic made of AISI 316 steel, which provides oils and floral waters of the highest purity.

In Quinta das Lavandas there is also a state-of-the-art mill, where under the “Quinta do Olival do Sumagral” brand olive oil is obtained by cold extraction method. The olive groves are composed of centenary olive trees, mostly of the Galega variety. Ecocert Portugal (PT-BIO 02) is responsible for the control of organic production of lavenders and olive groves, the distillation process of essential oils and floral waters, and the grinding of olives and extraction of olive oils.

Owned by the couple Teresa Tomé and Estêvão de Moura, who idealized and materialized the project, Quinta das Lavandas is open to professional and leisure visitors.
