If you come by private car from Lisbon:
Take the highway IP7 direction the bridge “Vasco da Gama” direction ESPANHA / ÉVORA over de prachtige brug van “Vasco da Gama” and follow ÉVORA (A6). After about 150 you see the exit Évora, but neglect this one: you have to continue 15 km and take exit nr 6 (EVORA, EVORAMONTE). Leave the highway and go left on the N18, direction Evoramonte, Estremoz. Follow the N18. About Évoramonte 5 km after Evoramonte you see a camping on your right and on the left side of the street a white-blue gate indicating (Herdade da Marmeleira).

In case you arrive by plane in Lisbon and go with public transport:
From Lisbon airport take a taxi or shuttle bus to the Bus Station “SETE RIOS”. The taxi is a 7-minutes drive and costs 6-13 € (+ a luggage rate). The 13 € fee is for taxis at the arrival hall. Better to take a taxi from the departure side as their fares are 6 € only. The Shuttle bus goes every half hour, takes 20-30 minutes and costs 3,50 €.
From SETE RIOS take the express bus to Évora or Estremoz (13€). To Évora busses go about twelve times per day (the last one at 10 pm.) The express bus to Estremoz goes less frequently, but is the best choice as it arrives nearer to our centre (the last one leaves at 7pm). From Évora (35km) or Estremoz (13km) we bring you for free to the Centre.
Lisbon Airport – Evoramonte can also be done with metro and train, bus is more complicated and time consuming.
Arriving at Faro, Madrid or Seville is also possible and sometimes cheaper, but connections can by time consuming and a bit complicated.
