*********
Monte Rosa is located in the southwestern part of the Portuguese Algarve, 2 km from the authentic village of Barão de S. João, 9 km northwest of the lively historic town of Lagos on the south coast. It is an hour's drive from Faro airport and half an hour's drive from the unspoilt west coast.
You are away from mass tourism but still close to fantastic beaches and you can enjoy peace, nature and fresh air. Here you will find an ideal base for hiking and cycling. Monte Rosa covers 4 hectares of sloping terrain, with many old almond, olive and fig trees. A number of old farmhouses have been renovated in a rustic style, in which we offer attractive, well-maintained accommodations.
All accommodations have a private bathroom, with shower or bath. There are rooms for 1, 2 or 3 people and a few fully equipped apartments, suitable for 4 to 7 people. Some have their own kitchenette or kitchen, others share outdoor cooking facilities. All this is surrounded by a colorful garden with various paths, terraces and cozy sitting areas, chairs, loungers and hammocks. Everyone can use the BBQ.
Guests are welcome in the common room with large terrace, which also serves as a restaurant. There is a swimming pool (5 x 10m), which is located in the middle of the quiet country. You can also swim in the evening under the romantic underwater lighting. You can relax on the sun loungers and hammocks.
Every day you can make use of a breakfast service (not incl.) in the form of a buffet with lots of fresh fruit, juice, Greek yogurt, muesli and sandwiches with delicious cheeses and homemade jams. Our chickens deliver the fresh eggs. When registering a minimum of 4 guests, a 3-course dinner can be provided. At the reception you can book a massage or ask for advice about the many possibilities for excursions (eg a dolphin tour) and sporting activities. Everyone can use the hiking map with 35 route descriptions. There are also bicycles and surfboards for rent.
Monte Rosa is an ideal place for children. The environment is inviting to explore, build huts, etc. There are cats to pet and chickens that lay tasty fresh eggs for us. The beautiful round room (The Round House) with heating in the round wall plastered with clay, is used for yoga, dance, massages and other activities. Through the large windows (with double glazing) you have a fantastic view over the grape fields. This space can also be rented to organize your own workshop, training, reunion or other activity. Several yoga classes are held every week.
On Monte Rosa you can especially enjoy peace and the outdoors. It is an ideal place to relax. Our intention is to provide a relaxed atmosphere in which you can recover from the hustle and bustle that many experience in daily life. We would like to be a meeting place for everyone, regardless of background. In the evenings, the terrace near the communal area often turns out to be the center of a cozy and casual get-together.
We attach great importance to ecologically dealing with nature and being careful with what it produces. Waste is separated on site. We have our own vegetable and herb garden, which is laid out according to the principles of permaculture. The hot water supply works entirely on solar energy.
Welcome, Bem-vindo!
