Barrocal house

The way of thinking about the Barrocal houses results from the intersection of a traditional Mediterranean way of living in the Alentejo with the modern hospitality project in which they are inserted, reflecting the sensitivity taken towards sustainability whether regarding place, local culture or community.

This proximity to history, the climate, the light, the vegetation and the granitic outcrops is developed in a house concept that favours integrity with the natural elements and the views, as well as a sense of privacy combined with this intense relationship with the landscape. These houses, which are born among stones and trees, are like them, simple, stripped and vernacular in their essential forms: from hand-made bricks to the use of lime and local stone (granite, limestone and shale), to the inclusion of salvaged tiles, roof terraces, deep recesses, and big chimneys.
