The nature house consists of two attached houses and is located in the middle of the mountains of Monchique, a protected nature reserve. The house was completely renovated in 1994 in Portuguese style.The environment is overwhelming and the only neighbors you have is the original nature where you can relax. For hikers and nature lovers this is a unique region. From the nature house you overlook the cork oak trees belonging to the plot and enjoy the beautiful large garden overlooking vast valleys. In the distance you can see Mount Picota (774 meters). The west coast can be reached within 40 minutes, the south coast within 30 minutes. The distance from the access road to the house is about 500 meters, unpaved but wide and with two concrete lanes, the first part of which is quite steep. Arriving at the house you will be surprised. All Dutch channels can be received on the television.
Nature and surroundings
In the Serra de Monchique between the mountains Foia (903 meters) and Picota (774 meters) lies the village of Monchique. The nature house is located at a distance of about 5 kilometers from Monchique. Nature is still in its original state: eucalyptus trees, old cork oak and chestnut trees interspersed with the famous medronho bush, the so-called wild strawberry from which the Portuguese make liquor, and especially the numerous cultivated terraces, are real eye-catchers. The protected nature reserve offers many opportunities for hikers such as on Mount Picota, here are hiking trails marked. From Monchique, a visit to Mount Foia, about eight kilometers away, is a must: a fantastic view with cafes and a gallery with art handicrafts made by people from the area. The west coast with beautiful but originally preserved seaside resorts is in any case a must, 40 minutes from this cottage where you can then enjoy nature and tranquility!

Mylène January 16, 2025 General rating:A very good cottage! We had some bad luck with the weather so we were pretty much inside where it was sometimes a bit dark but it is comfortable with everything you need like a nice stove, good pans to cook yourself, music, books. The cottage is perfectly located: very quiet in the hills and in a garden lovingly maintained (with many flowers even in January). Both the owner and the contact person on site are very nice, easily accessible and helpful with questions.
Een heel goed huisje! Wij hadden wat pech met het weer waardoor we vrij veel binnen zaten waar het soms wat donker was maar het is comfortabel met alles wat je nodig hebt zoals een lekkere kachel, goede pannen om zelf te koken, muziek, boeken. Het huisje ligt perfect: heel rustig in de heuvels en in een tuin die met liefde is onderhouden (met ook in januari veel bloemen).
Zowel de eigenaresse als de contactpersoon ter plaatse zijn heel aardig, goed bereikbaar en behulpzaam bij vragen.Nature, peace & environment:What a wonderful area to be and walk in winter, both around Monchique and along the coast. Tip for in Monchique: vegan lunch cafe Grumpy Mammas. We enjoyed the peace and quiet at Casa Dois.
Wat een heerlijke omgeving om in de winter te zijn en te wandelen, zowel rondom Monchique als langs de kust. Tip voor in Monchique: veganistisch lunchcafé Grumpy Mammas. We hebben genoten van de rust in Casa Dois.
