This is the new São Lourenço do Barrocal film. With it, we hope to show our hotel and ‘monte alentejano’ through those who make it so special - the people who work there. Directed by the British Graham Clayton-Chance, a longtime partner of Barrocal, this film celebrates our spirit and work, told by those who live the estate daily and who are the guarantee of its prosperity today, tomorrow, and in the years to come.
Sprawling across cork-dotted hills, wildflower-covered meadows and shady olive groves, the 780-hectare Barrocal estate has passed down through seven generations.
Once home to the Alentejan agricultural families who worked the Estate’s fertile lands, the transformation of the monte allows for a thriving modern community while retaining the handsome nature and patina of the original buildings.
Each architect involved has taken their own distinctive design approach, but are united by a desire to preserve and augment – rather than disturb or tame – the rugged beauty and rich history of the Barrocal Estate.
