Nature house in Barao de S Joao

At this nature house you can enjoy peace, space and being outdoors. It is an ideal place to unwind. Our intention is to offer a relaxed atmosphere where you can recover from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We would like to be a meeting place where fun contacts can arise spontaneously. On the terrace and in the outdoor kitchen a cozy and casual get-together often develops. We like to see people as they are and want nothing more than for our guests to feel at ease. Monte Rosa attaches great importance to dealing ecologically with nature. Our vegetable and herb garden is laid out according to the principles of permaculture. On the grounds you will find a large variety of unsprayed fruit trees, olive trees, and almond trees. Many organic and high-quality products are used in the preparation of meals. Waste is separated, the hot water supply works entirely on solar energy. We are careful about the use of plastic and cleaning products.

The Algarve is a surprising hiking region that constantly changes its appearance. Not for nothing do hikers get attached to this region and return to Portugal often and gladly. But not only the abundance of variation makes the surroundings of Monte Rosa an ideal hiking destination. The Algarve has a lot of sunshine for Western European standards: about 3000 hours a year, spread over 300 days. Spring and autumn, and also the mild winter, are the best seasons to explore the region on foot. February, for example, has an average of only 5 rainy days, and temperatures can easily reach 20 degrees during the day. Rolling dune landscape, fascinating rock formations and beautiful deserted beaches. Endless views of the spectacular Costa Vicentina. Cozy fishing villages with authentic ports. But also winding paths past characteristic cork oaks and gnarled olive trees in the hilly interior.
