Monte do Ramalho

Rustic, beautiful farm estate. In nicely restored 100+ year old worker's houses, Surrounded by 2,500 acre olive tree fields. Brought delicious dinner and breakfast to our group, set up on outside table, overlooking the beautiful, rolling fields, under the canopy of an old fig tree. Magical. Super friendly and helpful manager and staff. Our group was on bicycles, but cars would be the same. Can not recommend highly enough. Our favorite place in 8 different nights of our trip.

That our schedule did not permit us to stay for a second night.

Breakfast was home baked and presented several yummy options. The breakfast room is very beautiful and well decorated. We stayed there in December so it was very cold, but all the facilities were warm and cozy. The bedroom was warm at our arrival time, and even though it was located in a house with other guests it was quiet. The common rooms such as the old kitchen and living room were warm also, and nicely decorated. The place is exactly as a traditional Monte Alentejano and brought back a lot of childhood memories.

The water took a long time to warm up and in the morning it only warmed up a bit, so the shower was a bit on the cold side, but other than that everything went well.
