All the property was reconverted into an agrotourism project and has the lavender as its great protagonist.

In the farm there are about 65 thousand feet of lavender (Lavender) divided in two main varieties: Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandim thick bleu. The main purpose of this plantation of lavenders is the production of essential oils and the development of traditional products.

Quinta das Lavandas is the result of the will of two people: Teresa Tomé and Estevão de Moura, who thought and believed in a unique and innovative project. The main house and outbuildings were adapted into agritourism and are perfectly aligned with this environment of excellence. Here you can relax, enjoy the comfort and pleasant 7 bedrooms, the balconies, the swimming pool and many agricultural and leisure activities.
