CASA AZIMUTE was born as Andy and Danny's life project, its owners, before the Alentejo was on the lips of all those seeking disconnection, peace and quiet . Thus, they transformed this typical Alentejo "Monte" into an avant-garde and intelligent building where everything is designed so that light invades every corner.
The views of Estremoz, a historic town with great charm, allow each window to be like a postcard of the typical Alentejo landscape. They allow children, although the characteristics of the hotel, small and quiet, invite us to think more about adult retreats. They also offer the possibility of reserving it completely for company meetings, workshops, brainstorming sessions or teamwork. They have all the technological needs (wi-fi, charging points, common areas...), as well as outdoor areas, including the pool. Inspired by the typical pools of country houses, shares the spotlight with the simple relaxation area, in which gravel and wild bushes achieve integration with nature in its purest form.

His involvement with the sustainability and integration with the environment goes beyond the obvious, since from the beginning they opted for individual breakfasts served at the table –with juice and seasonal fruit, artisan pastries and local products– and also for creating its own lines of cosmetic products and tableware under the Casa Azimute Collection label, that they sell right there and through their website. The cosmetic line, a moisturizing cream and shower soap and shampoo bar, is also available in the rooms. Ceramics is the result of their own hobby, as they mold and paint each plate inspired by the colors of the Alentejo. In addition, they are expanding their small collection of illustrations, which capture different moments and corners of the hotel.
