    Sehr schönes, helles Museum, das auf anschauliche und pfiffige Weise alle Fragen zur Geschichte und Technik der Olivenölgewinnung beantwortet - obendrein in einem Gebäude von außergewöhnlicher Architektur!

    An overnight motorhome stop with the Easycamp scheme. Museum very worthwhile and an interesting piece of architecture. Sadly the restaurant was closed in the evening but we enjoyed a stroll to the village with Roman remains.

    Excellent place to deep dive the knowledge about olives. Well concebed place for kids with activities for them. Staff is very very nice and friendly. Restaurant wise I would suggest having pocal bread (papo-seco or centeio); the octopus dish was rubbery and needed more cooking time; the risotto was lacking white wine and parmesan flavour. Overall I would advice visiting this lovely place!

    Very nice museum with plenty of information about the process to extract olive oil. The restaurant was great and the food fantastic. Very recommended!

    Beautifull building, lots of good information on ancient pressing of olive oil, very nice interactive features, beautifull movies and photos. I missed the part of modern pressing, the owner has a press next to the building but that was not representing how a modern press should be, clean and tidy. The little shop offers olive oils, unfortunately the olive oil on display I tasted was rancid and therefor not extra virgin. The shop is a little over merchandised with the Museum sticker on everything. If I was them I would not only represent their own brand but sell the good olive oils from all over Portugal to really get an experience of Portuguese olive oil. Like wine the terroir and varieties really make a difference and its fun to experience that at a museum.l like this. Over all definately worth visiting and I will be back.

    A perfect day out, visit Bobadela close to Oliveira do hospital. The Roman ruins are impressive in this little village and the museu do Azeite"museum of olive oil" gives you the perfect impression and experience how this magical delicious product on your plate is made in real life. On top of it all you can have lunch or dinner in their restaurant with spectacular view on the Serra da Estrela. We had costela de barrosã and migas and both we're delicious! They also have vegitarian food!

    We took a chance based on google reviews and are so pleased that we visited. The museum offered an informative journey through time of olive oil making. We really appreciated the attention to detail when it came to the historical preservation of some of the 19th and 20th century presses. We also took lunch in the restaurant associated with the property and couldn’t be happier with our choices of wild boar and goat. We recommend anyone visiting the region take a few hours to enjoy the museum’s quirky combo of architecture and curated works. Note: if you visit during olive harvesting season, you can also get a tour of the olive oil factory just next door.

    Es war ein toller Besuch in der Geschichte des Olivenöls einzutauchen. Gleichzeitig waren alle Mitarbeiter/innen stehts für eine Unterstützung bereit!

    Museum that offers a glimpse into the traditional art of olive oil making, housed in a modern building whose distinctive architecture, unfortunately, can only be truly appreciated from above. It features some interesting installations; however, since the process of making olive oil hasn't changed much over the years, the content is somewhat repetitive. Priced at 7€ per adult, the entry fee might feel a bit steep, especially for larger families with Portuguese pockets. The experience could have been more satisfying if it included a tasting of locally produced olive oil at some point during the visit. For those planning to visit, I recommend timing it during the olive oil making season. During this period, visitors have the opportunity to see the adjacent working mill in operation, offering a real view of contemporary olive oil production that complements the museum's exhibits.
