Herdade Tapada do Falcão is situated in the Alto Alentejo, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of Portugal. The Serra de São Mamede Natural Park, an excellent location for walking and bird watching, is a few minutes drive from the house. The village of Caia, on the outskirts of which the property is situated, lies just 8 km south of the town of Portalegre, about 240 km east of Lisbon and close to the Spanish border. The new Vasco de Gama bridge across the River Tagus in Lisbon and very good roads make the drive from Lisbon around two hours.

The Estate comprises two properties,which are available to rent either seperately or as an single unit.

The main house, Tapada do Falcão, lies within 55 hectares (130 acres) of woodland and pastureland abounding with cork oaks, holm oaks, eucalyptus, olives and umbrella pines. Indigenous flowers and shrubs flourish in their natural state and the landscape is punctuated by numerous granite outcrops.
