In agricultural terms, the estate has a small ongoing agricultural project, having been planted, in 2019, about 1 ha of orchard, 2 ha of almond grove, 1 ha of olive grove and 0,5 ha of table grape and around 0,5 ha of vegetable garden. It also comprises around 3 ha of meadowlands that are currently used for grazing animals: 2 mares, 2 donkeys and 28 sheep. Concerning animals, the farm also has domestic animals, chickens and ducks.
The underlying logic was to integrate the rural component with the tourist component, so that the guests could share and live during their stay a rural experience, including in the meals, with many of the products created or produced on the estate.
The estate is crossed by a stream and has 3 boreholes, being one of them from a mine that feeds all the houses with water. It also has a transformer station and cable internet that reaches all the houses.
Vila Vicosa is known as the 'Princess of the Alentejo'. Although small, it is one of the most precious and charming jewels of Alentejo, a 'museum-village'. Vila Vicosa owes its name to the fertility of its soils and the charms of its territory. This Alentejo village is the home of one of the most illustrious Portuguese poets, Florbela Espanca. It is a town full of History, with a rich and enviable heritage created by Man throughout the centuries. It was and still is Nature that provides the raw material for the creation of various decorative stone pieces. The highlight goes to marble, which has long played a fundamental role in the municipality's economy.
