New Soul In the beautiful village of Alpalhão, in the municipality of Nisa, an old secular house used for agricultural habitation has been reborn.
By the hand of its owner Dr Adélia Castelo Branco, a doctor by training and heiress of this farmhouse, this project to transform it into Local Accommodation began in 2019. The idea was born out of the owner's desire to change her life, swapping the hectic city life and medicine for the tranquillity of the Alentejo and the desire to return to the land of her ancestors and her family roots.
And so the New SoulIt was a heritage in ruins, but a desire for change gave life to this project, which is already a landmark in the town of Alpalhão.
According to the owner, this project aims to go further and be as comprehensive as possible. The first aim is for visitors to get to know Alpalhão, its history, its people and its traditions, and then to get to know the whole of the magnificent region that surrounds this village.
The experience begins as soon as you step inside. The roots and traditions of Alpalhão are present throughout the house. An example of this are the nine rooms, four of which are suites, where the décor and names have been carefully chosen so that guests immediately get a flavour of the village of Alpalhão and its customs.
Doing something for the land and the interior of our country, creating a space to bring more people to the land of their origins, contributing with their help to the local economy, is the mission of owner Dr Adélia Castelo Branco.
Despensa Franciscana was smitten with this place and recommends it to anyone who wants to take a getaway to the Alto Alentejo in a rural but sophisticated setting, with a hostess who is on site every day and takes care of every detail to make the experience unforgettable. We loved our visit!
