The Monte
Coastal, rural, tasteful and serene, Monte Meu is a hundred year old whitewashed family-run farm with thick clay walls and tiled roofs. It sits just a stone’s throw from a light house on the Atlantic ocean and a 10 minute walk to a small village. Facing the stunning raw natural beauty of the coast with its cliffs, walking trails and beach coves, Monte Meu is unique in that it is also surrounded by the feeling of community offered by a serene farming village. The Monte Meu farm, along with its gardens and vegetable beds, has four sunny guest cottages and 4 suites. It accommodates up to twenty two guests, and is surrounded by pasture lands used for grazing farm animals, five horses and an ever growing herd of goats.
We are Sara and Ottilie along with our families, creating a place and community we want to nurture, share and care for into the future. Sara is from one of seven original founding families of the village and Otti new to the region. We bring together traditional local knowledge with the best of contemporary hospitality. With new energy and vision, we are starting a new chapter and calling it Monte Meu. Surrounded by the beauty of our Monte, we practice regenerative sustainable farmsteading. With a touch of floral, a turn toward the arts, and the energy of events .Our place reflects us and stays true to the intentional, low-impact lifestyle of the Alentejo. We are working the land, caring for our animals, sharing our meals and good company, splurging in creativity when we can and living with the rhythm of the tides and seasons.
We hope you want to join us.
Keep in loop
Sara & Ottile
