The Noudar Natural Park is located in a farm estate called Herdade da Coitadinha, ‘over-the-hills' between the winding rivers Ardila and Múrtega and lodged among hills and summits near the town of Barrancos (Alentejo, Portugal). The road from the Park's entrance to the Noudar Castle goes through an extensive holm oak grove (‘montado') area, ending with a majestic view to the confluência das duas linhas de água. 

 

Walking the ancient foot trails and dirt roads you will find other stories, valley floors where water windmills rest, wild woods on slopes that slide into the rivers, rocky ridges that rise above the landscape.

The pastures, holm oak and olive groves, grazing cows and herds of black pigs are all common to neighboring farms in this region. But here, a more abrupt and rocky relief has protected dense enclaves of holm oaks and forest and dense forests where light penetrates with difficulty - a few remaining holdouts in a landscape greatly altered by humans.

In Noudar, life presents itself in a state of wilderness and absolute purity.

After long walks in the Park, you will be able to rest in our two lodging units: Casa do Monte and Casa da Malta, two houses imbued with history and identity.

Beneath the celestial planes and enveloped by the immensity of the landscape and, you will fall asleep to the sound of croaking frogs and literally wake up with the birds.

Get to know all the activities and experiences that we have prepared for you: be sure to go on a Noucar ride with picnic included; or, in case it is a hot day, to take a dip in our pool. And if you want food service can also make your reservation in our Restaurant.
We wish to share the best of what Nature has to offer and make your stay and unforgettable and pleasant one! Come and discover these fields where the holm oak rules and rivers wind across the terrain, fulfilling a cycle that repeats itself every year and guarantees the natural wealth of this region of unique beauty.
