Premium Hotel accommodation
Herdade da Cortesia
Set on the edge of the Avis reservoir, Herdade da Cortesia offers a unique blend of comfort, performance, and tranquillity – making it the perfect base for athletes, coaches, and supporters during Head of the Cork.
With direct access to the water and panoramic views across the course, it places you at the centre of the action while offering a calm, refined environment to reset and prepare.
We came here to row, and over time we brought in Americans, architects, consultants and auditors.
Partner Villa accommodation
Villa dos R's
Tucked into the heart of the village of Avis, Villa dos R’s offers a warm, beautifully appointed retreat just a short ride from the water. With eight thoughtfully designed rooms, a stunning saltwater infinity pool, and an on-site restaurant serving everything from breakfast through to evening cocktails, it strikes the perfect balance between relaxed comfort and quiet indulgence.
Free bikes are available for guests who want to explore the village or make their way down to the reservoir, making it an ideal base for those looking to be close to the action without being right on top of it. After a long day on the water, Villa dos R’s gives you exactly the kind of calm, comfortable space you need to recover and recharge.
