The Tiny House: Tucked away in the mountains of the Algarve, our tiny house combines modern comforts with a lifestyle close to nature. Large windows bring the landscape into the house and create a peaceful retreat for two people. Outdoor Living: Life in Montinho takes place both indoors and outdoors. Several terraces, an outdoor kitchen, and a separate outdoor bathroom extend the living space into nature. Edible Garden: Herbs, fruits, and seasonal plants grow right next to the house. Depending on the season, guests can explore and enjoy the edible garden. Peace & Relaxation: Amid cork oak trees, natural stone walls, and open landscapes, various seating areas and a yoga deck invite you to relax, read, or simply take a moment to pause.
Nature and surroundings
Nature & Biodiversity: Montinho is situated on 22 hectares of private land in the Algarve mountains. The surrounding area is part of the Natura 2000 network and is considered one of the ecologically valuable landscapes of southern Portugal. Cork oak forests are among the most species-rich habitats in Europe and provide a habitat for numerous bird, reptile, and plant species. With a little luck, you can spot birds of prey, rare wildflowers, and species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. Historical Cultural Landscape: The landscape has been shaped and cultivated over generations. Ancient terraces, watercourses, natural stone structures, natural pools, and historic trails still bear witness to this history today. Restoration Project: Montinho is part of an ongoing restoration project. A hiking map with an audio-guided walking tour invites you to explore the landscape and its history on your own. Experience the Algarve: Despite its peaceful location, beaches, villages, and hiking trails are within easy reach.

This space is highly recommended for those wanting to be in a comfortable, well equipped space while still wanting to be in the wilderness. It has best of both worlds, a truly luxurious space curated for a beautiful experience in nature!
We were absolutely blown away by the beauty driving into mountains where the tiny home is located. The check in was seamless and the tiny home was beautifully set up for our arrival. We loved how much it had to offer! Not only the tiny home, but the spacious outdoor kitchen, the bathroom with all amenities we needed, the outdoor deck with a lovely day bed overlooking the breath taking view of the valley below, and of course the garden providing fresh herbs and a few fresh berries. All of these features were thoughtfully designed to connect us closer to nature and to have a wholesome experience on the mountain.
Lilian, our host, was incredibly kind and was available for anything we needed. We had beautiful conversations that made us feel very welcome! The privacy and quietness of the tiny home was exactly what we needed. The house and area felt very safe and secure. We could leave at any time, with a peace of mind, knowing all our things are safe.
