Right at the beginning of the week, Home Tailors Real Estate announced the sale of a wine estate for 8 million euros. The real estate agency was responsible for selling the Herdade das Fontes Bárbaras, located on a classic Alentejo hill near Castro Verde.

The 400-m2 tourism project comprises six suites, two living rooms, a game room, a library and heated pool and an independent, 120-m2 two-bedroom house. The property has 43 hectares of irrigated vineyards, two dams, three water holes and two boreholes, 2, approximately 600-m2 warehouses for agricultural support, and all the necessary equipment.

Meanwhile, the Fladgate group sold a hotel in Porto to Gaw Capital.
