Living the History

A love story between a couple, rolling hills, and a centenary windmill.

To speak of Bee Moinho is to speak of Sara and Rodrigo's family. It was love at first sight when they first laid eyes upon this historic ruined windmill, nestled in the picturesque Portuguese village of Sobral da Abelheira.

With over 120 years of heritage, the windmill was restored with deep care and devotion, honoring the traditional stone architecture and authentic wooden timbering while providing every luxury of modern comfort.

✓

Preserved Architecture: Original stonework, rustic beams, and authentic windmill character.

✓

100% Exclusive Privacy: The entire windmill, garden, and pool are entirely yours.
