Monte Meu

The location is awesome, very good to go hiking/cycling in the region or go to the nearby beaches. The houses are super cute and very well equipped! We were very well received and we loved it, and breakfast was also amazing:-)

The living room is tiny, but with good weather there is more than enough to enjoy outside!

Beautiful, peaceful, birdsong, horses sighing, you can see stars at night…the breakfast was delicious.

I liked that it was cozy and comfortable, but the porch lights did shine in to the living room at night, making it difficult for our friend to sleep there. However he found the couch bed very comfortable. Also a map illustrating how to hike to the nearby Cabo and lighthouse would be great.

Outstanding location, at night you can hear the horses on the pastures snorting and the ocean roaring. (it is a 10-minute-walk to the beautiful coastside). In the morning the roosters crowing. It lies about halfway the Fisherman´s trail section between Almograve and Zambujeira do Mar, so you can take a walk along the coastside about 2 hours to the really nice restaurant O Sacas near Zambujera or a walk towards Almograve. The farm is specialised on "Natural Horsemanship" (as I understood it as a layman, it is the natural way to treat horses species-appropriate/fair, get to know their behaviour better and also learn something about yourself) and I got spontaneously a introduction in this method by the riding instructor Anna, who does also short guided horse tours for beginners at the seaside. The lodgings have a nice terrace with a view on the wide pastures, the beds are comfi, there`s a fireplace in the house and you can order a breakfast basket for 5 Euros. Parking is easy. I was very happy wih my choice!

The kitchen equipment is a little bit too basic for my taste (for example no sharp knives, small plates), the bathroom feels a little bit cold. Though - I would book it again. Definitely.
