Malhadinha, The Soul of Alentejo
Set in the sun-drenched Alentejo region of Portugal, Relais & Châteaux Herdade de Malhadinha Nova is a destination where viticulture, gastronomy, and hospitality converge in extraordinary harmony. Malhadinha: The Heart of Alentejo welcomes readers to explore this family-owned hotel and estate, which is committed to inspiring the world through unique and authentic wine, hospitality, and farming experiences.
Motivated by dreams and passion, the Soares family acquired the luxury hotel and wine estate in 1998 and spent decades transforming the abandoned land into a thriving, eco-conscious sanctuary. From grape harvests in ancient vineyards and Michelin-starred cuisine crafted from estate-grown ingredients to horseback riding across golden plains and hand-built villas that blend seamlessly into the landscape, every page of the book reveals a deep reverence for time, tradition, and terroir. The family’s commitment to sustainability and authenticity permeates each element of the property, creating an experience that honors both heritage and innovation.
Authored by Brazilian journalist Gaia Lutz, this hospitality coffee table book offers a serene escape in the heart of Portugal’s wine country, which features immaculate and endless landscapes of inestimable beauty. Malhadinha: The Heart of Alentejo pays homage to the Soares family’s legacy, while inviting readers to take a journey through what began as a dream and has blossomed into Malhadinha Nova.
