Just 30 minutes north of Lisbon lies the enchanting Quinta de Sant’Ana, a historic family run wine estate dedicated to three activities: the production of top quality wines, the hosting of guests seeking relaxation in four charming traditional summer houses and the organization of tailor made events for an international clientele.
Quinta de Sant'Ana overlooks the picturesque village of Gradil with its cobbled streets, white washed houses and hospitable inhabitants on one side and a stunning coulisse of vineyards, lined with ancient olive trees and cypresses on the south side.
Twelve hectares are vineyards, an ambitious and quality driven project.
The remainder is split up between eucalyptus forests, fruit orchards and meadows.
