A Brief Historical Highlight
The Romans may have left Portugal, but their invention of making wine in huge clay pots dating back to 200 BC has not faded into history; in fact, it thrives. Through the centuries, Vila de Frades, Vidigueira, has become a sacred haven for the 'Vinho de Talha,' the ancient Roman wine. Its unique taste lingers far beyond European countries, intriguing and tempting wine enthusiasts worldwide.
Horta do Simao is nestled in the heart of this historic wine country, located at the foot of the renowned Vila de Frades. The property's new architecture, enhanced with an old touch, takes us back in time, just as the Vinho de Talha does. Its charming verandas, adorned with balusters and pillars, invite leisurely chats over a cup of coffee while offering a mesmerizing view of the stunning surrounding landscape, leaving a long-lasting impression.
The writer and owner, Camilla Hillberg, and her partner infused their personal touch from the handcrafted balusters and rails to the garden design, creating a tranquil and easy-to-maintain oasis.
