buyyourdream2024-11-01Wir waren vor 3 Wochen mit unserem Wohnwagen bei diesen 2 sehr netten Gastgebern für eine Nacht . Wir hatten eine Weinverkostung und eine Führung. Alles war sehr angenehm und wir kommen gerne wieder wenn wir diese Route für unseren Spanien/Portugal Urlaub wählen. Liebe Grüße an Raymond und Nelson von Alexander und Manuela aus ÖsterreichTiago Joel2024-10-27Experiência extraordinária. Paragem obrigatória entre Beja e Mértola 😜Loes Weemen2024-10-21We hebben met de camper en onze twee zoontjes overnacht op het landgoed van Raymond en Nelson. Een prachtige plek! Raymond en Nelson zijn ontzettend gastvrij. Raymond praat met veel passie over het landgoed en de regionale wijnen. Heerlijke wijn geproefd en een gezellige avond gehad! We hopen zeker nog ooit terug te komen. Raymond en Nelson, veel succes met de verbouwing!Miriam Feldmann2024-10-04Sehr schönes Anwesen mit sehr viel Potential. Die Gastgeber sind so herzliche Leute. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und unseren Hochzeitstag mit unseren Kids dort gefeiert mit Wein und Petiscos. Wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen. Schaut vorbei und lasst es euch gut gehen.Boris Rüther2024-09-27Natur Pur und Camper Willkommen. Ich habe selten so viel natürliche und herzliche Gastfreundschaft erfahren. Dem Projekt aus einer von der Natur zurückeroberten Hotelruine eine Oase in der Kornkammer Portugals aufzubauen liegen viele Steine im Weg, doch der Besitzer macht das beste draus. Tolle Weine werden hier zusammen mit vorzüglichen, aus der lokalen Küche inspirierten, Häppchen verköstigt. Faire Preise 10€/Nacht; 30€/gr. Weinprobe mit reichlich Häppchen. Wer Abgeschiedenheit und Ruhe sucht ist hier richtig. Das Gelände ist weder mit Strom noch fließend Wasser angeschlossen. Es gibt jedoch eine Toilette für Camper und Gäste.Loes2024-09-14Geweldige laatste vakantieavond gehad. De liefste gastheren, geweldige wijn en eten, heel bijzondere plek met een mooi verhaal.

Wat een heerlijke middag heb ik doorgebracht op Herdade Foz da Represa, in gezelschap van mijn lieve vrienden die sinds een jaar in de Alentejo wonen en die mij verrasten met een bezoek aan de prachtige hoeve van Raymond en Nelson. We hebben geproefd van mooie wijnen, heerlijke petiscos erbij, bijzondere verhalen mogen horen over de geschiedenis van de hoeve en de toekomstplannen. Raymond is een goede verteller en perfecte gastheer, Nelson's creaties combineren subliem met de wijnen. Een hele bijzondere plek. Ik zou het iedereen aanraden deze herdade te bezoeken en te genieten van de gastvrijheid in een hele mooie omgeving. Doe deze wijnproeverij!! Als ik een volgende keer in Portugal ben, kom ik zeker nog een keer. Heel veel succes, R&N, met het doorontwikkelen van jullie ideeën. HFR is een droomplek. Groet, IngeMB962024-09-10Wow!!!
