Stayed for 1 night. Payed 60 euros for 1 night breakfast included.
The “Monte” is considered “Agroturismo” and you are in direct contact with nature. Facilities are rustic style.
Close to the town of Grândola but definitely need a car to get there from the “Monte”. It’s 5 km away and the part of it close the “Monte” is through a dirt rocky road.
Didn’t really feel I was in a hotel/lodge but more like renting a room at a private house although rooms are all independent. I think there were 5 rooms with a shared terrace in front and facing the grounds with a very pleasant view. Great for a beer outside during sunset. There were also horses wondering around the facilities.
Room had a bathroom with toilet. In the bathroom there is a container of soap gel for your hands and another for the shower.
Room had closet and a small tv with cable TV (NOS). A fan in the ceiling. No air conditioning and no cooking facilities nor fridge.
Our room had 2 large twin beds. Windows are small so not much light comes in.
Especially the bathroom but the entire room and facilities could use a renovation.
Breakfast is served in a shared living room which is also the reception. There is not a big variety at breakfast but all very tasty and traditional. For example got freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade jams, a cheese, ham, bread. Milk, cereals and coffee. Dishware is also in traditional clay.
Dona Ana runs the place and is very pleasant, communicative and helpful.
There is also a pool at a certain distance from the rooms (maybe about 100 m) but we didn’t end up using it (went to the beach instead – located at about 30 km).
The facilities serve and arrange for adventure activities such as 4x4 jeeps and motorbikes, horseback riding, team day activities, etc, etc.
Free wi-fi. Wi-fi outside was ok (near the recption/dining area). Very week wi-fi reception inside the room.
Overall if you only come with the objective of spending the night the facilities are a bit expensive considering price/quality If you come alone you might feel a bit lonely but if you come for the several activities they have to offer it will be more interesting.
