This garden is situated in an area that reflects the rural beauty and authenticity of the province, offering an idyllic setting for a moment of rest and contemplation.

The Essence of the Orange Trees

Upon entering the Orange Tree Garden, visitors are immediately enveloped by the elements that give it its name. The orange trees, with their lush and perennial green leaves, are the protagonists, adorning the space with the promise and presence of their fruits. At certain times of the year, the air fills with the sweet and unmistakable perfume of the orange blossom, or azahar, an aroma that evokes freshness and vitality.

Color is also a striking element, from the deep green of the foliage to the vibrant orange of the ripe fruits that dot the trees. This combination creates a harmonious and inviting visual palette, which is the signature of this space with a strong natural focus.

An Oasis of Serenity

The Orange Tree Garden offers a true oasis of tranquility, a refuge for those seeking a moment of peace. Far from the hustle and bustle of urban centers, the environment invites introspection and the enjoyment of simplicity. The shade of the trees provides relief on warmer days, creating cool and inviting corners for a break.

The gentle sound of the wind whispering through the leaves and, at times, the chirping of birds, contribute to an atmosphere of profound serenity, allowing visitors to reconnect with the calm and slow rhythm of Alentejo life.

Landscape and Senses

Beyond the iconic orange trees, the garden incorporates other elements that complement its natural and scenic beauty. There are paths that invite leisurely strolls, and benches for rest, allowing visitors to appreciate the tranquility of the place. The space may also feature the presence of other shrubs or flowering plants, which enrich biodiversity and the sensory experience.

The design of this garden, although it may vary, tends to enhance the intrinsic beauty of the flora and provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing space, where nature is the main attraction and the senses are awakened by the color, aroma, and serenity of the place.
