Monte das Casolas is a rural retreat nestled amid an unspoiled oak forest (Montado) in the serene countryside near the town of Grândola. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush green landscapes, this enchanting destination offers an authentic experience where you will immerse yourself in peace and nature. The pristine Praia da aberta nova beach is a 40-minute drive away.

On this beautiful estate, you will find six unique wooden houses (97m2 and 120m2) that were built without disturbing the existing landscape. The interior is intimate and homely thanks to pleasant furnishings where coloured bedspreads and cushions (all the linen from brand Harmony) create a warm ambiance. The houses are equipped with airconditioning, ensuring a comfortable stay even during the warmest months. The houses have three ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen and a cosy living room with a wood stove. On the terrace with dining table and seating, you are invited to enjoy the views over the hills or the impressive starry sky.

Casa das Casalos has a clear focus on sustainability. She produces organic products on the farm and an organic breakfast can be provided daily upon request. In the communal area of the estate, on Alpendra, yoga classes are given, and outside beckons the alluring round swimming pool where you can take a refreshing dip or enjoy the sun on the lounge beds. The accommodation is also suitable for retreats and the property can be rented exclusively. 

Despite its remote location, Monte das Casolas offers easy access to the many attractive sights nearby. Explore the historic town center of Grândola with its charming streets and local markets, go hiking in the cork oak forests, or explore the gorgeous golden beaches along the Atlantic coast, where you'll find also excellent possibilities for water sports.

An absolutely beautiful place! It feels like being in Africa! The cottages are very private, and you don't even realize there are other cottages nearby since there are only 4 on a large property.

Lovely quiet accommodation. Magnificent views. The house is formidable in decor and style, the veranda where at night a beautiful starry sky to behold. The pool is top.
