Monte da Casa do João

Located in the rural areas of Portugal’s beautiful southwestern region Alentejo, Monte da Casa do João is the perfect holiday retreat for nature, animals and sunshine lovers. Living in the midst of hills, flowered fields and an endless green landscape, accompanied by an unequaled silence, dreams can come true.

Providing 2 large suites, one double bedroom and one children bedroom with 3 bunk beds, the 400 sqm dream villa can host up to 14 guests. The accommodation also comes with 4 bathrooms in total, as well as a spacious living room with a fireplace, a huge dining table and a fully equipped kitchen. A beautiful garden, that is accessible from any room, surrounds the holiday villa and provides the perfect place to spend some quality time with friends and family, making a barbecue, swimming in the outdoor pool or playing with the kids on the children's playground. Just doing nothing and breathe in the smell of the garden’s fruit trees and the fresh air of the Alentejo hills could also be an option. You can whether enjoy your breakfast  carefully prepared by the owners or just prepare it yourself using the basket of delicacies that can be delivered every day.

Live like a local, give food to the animals raising here,  learn how to make Alentejo bread or taste typical dishes prepared by professional cooks with fresh ingredients from the farm – for sure you won’t get bored.  For the “real Alentejo experience” typical Portuguese meals can be prepared by the host on request. You could also try preparing them yourself and take part in several workshops where you learn how to make Alentejo bread in a wood oven, homemade goat cheese or how to harvest olives. For our wine lovers, there also is a wine tasting available where you can enjoy the best wines and chorizos from the best local producers.

As the environmental awareness of travelers is rising, the accommodation also attaches importance to eco-friendly methods and resources.  All energy is produced from renewable sources, water comes from the veins of the earth and the homemade breakfast and proper meals are chiefly made of products from the biological vegetable garden.
