Vila Galé Collection Alter Real - Resort Equestre, Conference & Spa is a hotel in the Alentejo, in Alter do Chão, part of the Alter Stud Farm, the oldest in the world. This hotel has 77 rooms, two outdoor swimming pools for adults and one for children, a Satsanga spa with a heated indoor pool, the “Inevitável” restaurant serving regional cuisine and the “Dressage” bar. It also has a library, two meeting rooms and an events room. For more intimate occasions, it also has a fully restored traditional olive oil mill with a typical wood-fired oven, and an enoteca, where the hotel frequently organises tastings of regional wines and olive oils. Inspired by the history of the area, this charming hotel in the Alentejo is dedicated to equestrian themes. Home to the Lusitano thoroughbred horse, the Alter Stud Farm was created in 1748 by King João V and is considered to be the oldest in the world to operate uninterruptedly on the same site. Here, you can enjoy a guided tour of the stud farm, but also try horse riding for the first time. Hitching, reining lessons, riding lessons and rides are also available, both for first-timers and aficionados. Another must-see is a visit to the falconry and its museum. Watch the falcons fly, try your hand at “fly-by-wire” and be dazzled by the majesty of these animals. In the middle of the 800-hectare Herdade da Tapada do Arneiro, Vila Galé Collection Alter Real is the right place to enjoy the richness of the fauna and flora, indulging in the simplicity of nature tourism, ecotourism and outdoor activities. Have a picnic in the countryside, sip a glass of wine at sunset or enjoy the evening by the outdoor fireplace on colder days.
