Mason Rose is full steam ahead with work on VILA VITA Parc, the latest PR account to be added to the collection and the first task for the Mason Rose PR team was the lovely job of visiting the resort. Isobel and Caroline spent a couple of days experiencing all that the stunning cliff-top resort, and this area has to offer, as well as being some of the first guests to dine in Ocean restaurant following its award of two Michelin stars, a great achievement as it is only the second restaurant in Portugal to boast this accolade.
Situated on the Algarve coast with outstanding ocean views, VILA VITA Parc is Portugal’s finest five star resort celebrating the very best of Portugal and is the ultimate escape, enhanced by the country’s culture and hospitality. The resort is set within 54 spectacular acres of lush, subtropical gardens in front of a striking coastline and offers 180 rooms, suites and villas across several distinctive buildings with breathtaking views and ocean panoramas.
One of the highlights of Isobel and Caroline’s trip was the visit to the resort’s own country wine estate and organic farm, which is located an hour and a half inland in the Alentejo region. The Herdade dos Grous has almost 1,500 acres of vineyards, olive groves, orange groves and flowering gardens from which produce is enjoyed at the resort and is available to buy. Guests can visit the farm for a day trip and ride horses, watch the wine production and tour the grounds, all before a delicious organic lunch.
Isobel and Caroline also had the opportunity to experience the Cave de Vinhos, an impressive arched wine cellar situated at the resort that houses more than 11,000 bottles. The resort’s knowledgeable sommelier guides guests through various wine producing regions before sitting down for another exquisite dinner with each course perfectly paired with old and new world wines.
