Description
If you like to stay in Nature, walking distance into the town of the charming Monchique and if you could give us a Hand with Breakfast Service please get in touch.
Welcome to our stately, turreted 19th century guesthouse. The former mansion has been faithfully restored in traditional style with many guest rooms, a sun room/conservatory, a billiard/music room and kitchen. The property is nestled on the green slopes of Monchique. There is a vintage deck and a bio- pool, a citrus grove (oranges and lemons), aloe cactus, blackberry and raspberry bushes, a small vinyard, traditional terrace irrigation fed by our own fountain spring, assorted cozy guest huts and original stone structures. We are a ten minute walk from the narrow cobblestone streets in the center of Monchique.
We work a maximum of 8 hours a day, although helping during a Retreat requests some hours in the morning and some hours in the evening.
There is wifi in the Quinta.
