Quinta da Comenda
A historic agro-wine farm in São Pedro do Sul, certified organic since 1987, offering rural tourism accommodation, nature activities and a Saturday organic produce market.
Quinta da Comenda has been certified organic since 1987, more than 35 years, which makes it one of Portugal's pioneers of ecological farming. It's a historic agro-wine farm in São Pedro do Sul, in central Portugal, and was once the Casa-Mãe da Comenda de Ansemil. The farm uses no synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers at all. The aim is to protect the soil, water and air while producing healthy, uncontaminated food.
The rural tourism accommodation is spread across three independent guesthouses. Casa da Fonte has three rooms, Casa da Bica has two, and Casa da Tuia has a studio and an interior bedroom. Each has private bathrooms and access to a shared lounge with a fireplace and a kitchen. The quinta is in the process of obtaining sustainable tourism certification.
On the farm, guests and visitors can take up nature photography, walk the hiking trails or visit the winery. An organic produce market runs every Saturday, 10:00–13:00. The quinta also hosts cultural events such as live music concerts, wine tastings and weddings, and its function room holds up to 50 people.
Quinta da Comenda takes an active part in the São Pedro do Sul Bio-Region network, contributing to agroecological development and community resilience in the area.
Our Goal
To run a sustainable agro-wine farm and rural tourism business in São Pedro do Sul, built on the organic farming it has practised since 1987 and on a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our Wishes
Quinta da Comenda is looking for visitors, guests and members of the community who value organic produce, rural tourism and sustainable living, to take part in the farm's activities and share in the way it works.
