Quinta da Marmela, a retreat amidst olive and fig trees.
Discover Portugal’s history and way of life.
Our identity
In a renovated Quinta from the 19th century with a strong Portuguese identity, you will find a peaceful retreat where you can relax in the garden, on a terrace or in the swimming pool, surrounded by olive and fig trees.
With sustainability at its heart, the Quinta is powered by renewable energy and grows organic fruits, herbs and vegetables.
Lodging
The Quinta offers 8 charming bedrooms with large and comfortable beds, heating, air conditioning and private bathrooms decorated with locally hand-painted tiles. Most rooms have a private terrace with views on the tree-covered hills.
The house is located on a 27 hectares property. The swimming pool is lodged on the hillslope and there are three large terraces for outdoor dining and events.
The Quinta has a large living room with a fireplace, a dining room and a kitchen with an American fridge. Wifi is available.






Activities
At the Quinta, you will find young Lusitano horses and be able to explore nearby trails or pick fruits.
The Quinta is located 15 minutes away by car from the town of Golegã, the capital of the Lusitano horse. It is also at the heart of Ribatejo’s rich historical heritage, with 3 UNESCO world heritage sites less than 1 hour away by car. And there is much more to explore.
