Monte do Olival | Farm stay half an hour from the Portuguese coast

Are you dreaming of a place where the peace and beauty of the Alentejo come together? Monte do Olival is right that, an idyllic small farm surrounded by endless fields, where you can completely escape the hustle and bustle. This charming family heritage, once home to the grandparents of hostess Dona Toia, has been lovingly transformed into a small-scale rural retreat.
The accommodations at Monte do Olival exude authenticity and charm. Choose from a cozy double room or one of the three cottages with one or two bedrooms. Each accommodation has been carefully decorated, with natural materials such as light wood, local ceramics, and soft textiles bringing the warm ambiance of the Alentejo to life. A delicious breakfast is served daily in the glass-walled communal area, while the swimming pool with panoramic views over the fields invites you to relax. Children will have a great time: they can meet the sheep, donkeys, cows, and even a friendly cat!
In addition, Monte do Olival offers two original apartments in the historic heart of the nearby town Alcácer do Sal: Casa Branca and Casa Azul. These open, light-filled accommodations have everything you need for a comfortable stay with four people. With a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living and dining room, a bedroom, and an extra bed, this is the perfect base for families.
The location makes these retreats particularly versatile. From Monte do Olival and Alcácer do Sal, you can reach heavenly beaches such as Comporta, Tróia, and Carvalhal within half an hour! Explore the rice fields by bike, wander through the narrow streets of Alcácer do Sal, or go for a night out in trendy Comporta. With Lisbon just an hour's drive away, a trip to the capital is also perfect for a day out.
