guest review
THE RANCH
Just 35 minutes from Lisbon, Ranch of the Brave Bulls sits beside a protected nature reserve on the Tagus River, where flamingos gather by the hundreds along the tidal flats. It’s a serene hideaway of uncommon beauty.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family retreat, or a team-building event, the Ranch offers space to unwind, explore, or simply soak in the stillness — the pace is yours to choose.
• Country walks along farm tracks through the field • Sunset picnics by the water • Biking around the Estate • Horse riding •
• Paddle-boarding & boating in nearby Alcochete • Sunrise yoga on the rooftop •
Such warm and welcoming hospitality. The history of the Ranch and the story of the Brave Bulls is truly unique .

For our corporate offsite meeting,
the team took care of everything.
In particular my dietary restrictions - the salads were amazing!

The perfect place to relax and unwind. The location is ideal - a sanctuary, away from it all, but easily accessible from Lisbon.

OUR STORY
After my own journey with breast cancer, I often imagined a place where healing could happen gently—surrounded by nature, quiet, and care. Luis and I decided to make that dream a reality, on the land that has been in his family for generations.
This farm was Luis's mother’s favourite place while she was going through cancer treatment over 30 years ago. It brought her peace, strength, and connection—so it feels only right that we share it with others in her memory.
We are delighted to welcome you to this special place to unwind and get back to nature!
We now run a program for cancer patients and those recovering from treatment. For every 2 nights booked (whether with family, friends or a corporate booking), we give 1 free to someone with breast cancer.
This is a family project, built with heart and when yous tay here, you become part of that story.
With love and gratitude,
Emma & Luis
